Mailing a Stanley depth adjuster?

[Matt Radtke]

Morning all.

Quick question: What's the best/cheapest way to mail a depth adjusting knob? I'm trying to send one to a beginner who needs one for free, so I don't want to pay flat rate prices. Would a simple bubble envelope work?

Sure you could probably even just 1st class it, ya know a couple of stamps. I'd fold it up in thin cardboard first.

Bubble wrap, then a cardboard "folder" taped shut, and an envelope. Manila envelopes are stronger than regular letter envelopes; if you use a regular envelope, tape all the seams; a part I was sending someone got lost when the envelope opened up. First class should work fine.

Thanks. I was mostly concerned with a safe-ish but cheap way to package it. If it doesn't make it there, I'll be sure to blame you ;-)
