Other information

We do not ship products using packing peanuts of polystyrene or similar styrene products. While the debate continues over the landfill use of styrene versus paper, the fact remains that most recycling companies do not accept and recycle styrene products. Most recycling companies do however, recycle paper, cardboard and other plastics, including bubble packaging. Therefore, products we ship are in cardboard boxes and are usually wrapped with a small amount of bubble wrap and crumpled newspaper. All of these materials are recyclable, and thus we think, more environmentally friendly. Thank You.

 

Thank You for shopping with us!
