How I Ship a Glass Microwave Plate

Woo hoo! Two posts in one day! 

I've been getting a lot of questions about how I ship out my large glass microwave plates. So since I sold one today, I thought I'd give y'all a quick picture tutorial of just how I do it! 

Here's the plate I sold. It's 14 inches! So it's a pretty big one! (Ignore the spots. It's laying on my paint covered table!) 

First thing I do is wrap the plate in bubble wrap. LOTS of bubble wrap. 

Then, I wrap the plate in a recycled box. Any kind works! 

Then, I telescope two of the large priority mail boxes to make a box of the appropriate size for the plate. These boxes are free! You can order them online at USPS.com! 

Make sure you tape down all the sides and corners where the two boxes join! 

Then I place the microwave plate in the telescoped boxes and fill in the empty space with whatever fillers I have on hand. Today I had packing peanuts, but sometimes I use air packs, newspaper, or cardboard to fill in the space. 

Lastly, I close the top up, and tape down all the sides! The plate should arrive safe and sound! I've never had one to break mailing them this way! 

That's how I ship my microwave plates! I hope this post will help y'all and motivate you to ship those big glass pieces! It's easier than you think! 

Thanks for reading everyone!
