When Shipping Goes Bad.....

In this beaker is what's left of a 4 dram glass vial that was shipped in a document envelope.  In a word, don't!

 

Same vial.

 

One set of samples was packaged with plenty of cushioning material, placed in a 10" tall metal can, and then into a cardboard box.  We thought this was overkill, but it seems we underestimated the shipping people.  This package traveled a mere 30 miles via Fed Ex Ground.  You can't be too careful!
