Default One More Reasone to LOVE Bullseye Glass!

I love buying; hoarding and using Bullseye glass but now I have one more reason to love Bullseye!

The past two boxes I received from them had NO PEANUTS!
Instead they used Fill-Air Inflatable packaging.
There is no mess and it is recyclable!!!!!

So kudos to Bullseye for their new packing materials, I am VERY, VERY pleased!

yeah, I like the fill-air too. They do need to get some smaller boxes though I just bought some murrine and given the size of what I got, the box was huge - but filled with fillair instead of peanuts, so that was good

Their box size is usually great! They pack better than any other vendor I've dealt with. (sorry guys) The oversized boxes of air prevent breakage, and I'd rather pay for the size than lower postage and broken glass. My goal is to pack my outgoing packages as well as they pack theirs.
Loves my Bullseye!

Unfortunately those air pillows leak out their air pretty quick and turn into sealed plastic bags. I've received hundreds in incoming shipments and been able to reuse only about 10% on outgoing shipments. I'd rather have peanuts. They're always reusable.

Peanuts are recyclable in a sense because you can reuse them but the air pillows are actually recyclable.

A happy medium would be the cornstarch biodegradable peanuts, I love those too!
