I have a host that had to postpone her show, but, I have her Large Round Stone. I want to send it to her since she already paid for it from another show. How should I send it without damaging it? It is in the box but, is that safe enough? Or should I package it in another box?
 
I'd put it in another box with plenty of "stuffing" around it so that it doesn't move around (side to side or up and down).
 
To ensure the safety of the Large Round Stone during shipping, it is recommended to package it in another box. This will provide an extra layer of protection and help prevent any damage during transit. You can also consider adding packing materials such as bubble wrap or packing peanuts inside the box for added cushioning. Additionally, make sure to securely seal the box with tape to prevent it from opening during shipping.
