Inspect and ensure the shipping label is addressed properly.

Why               do we              try        to put _____ in            a

box?    Is there            only one                      variety of _____?

Why                are there          so         few      boxes

from    which to         choose?

Use bubble wrap or foam peanuts and secure properly to prevent damage or loss.

How much      will I    have to pay  to            deliver

me?                             

Oh,      no,       did I    forget
