I really wish it was that easy. We have tested a bunch of different things and there is no solution that works 100% of the time. For example.. there is no standard fragile item. A fragile item could be 2" of padding or could be 10" of padding.

The #1 most important thing is that the item arrives safely. #2 is reducing the price our customer pay. We even have machinery to create custom on-demand boxes to .1 of an inch so we don't ship air.

Starting today..For customers that are very price sensitive they can package their items, not pay the $5 pickup and still be able to use our great UX/price comparison technology.
