        How is everyone shipping their bottles? Is a Jiffy bag strong enough, or is a box better?

          That was something that I was asking myself.....I have now found that they fit (6 bottles) perfectly into a Woodforde's beer kit box

            I'm thinking that in the future i will include a bag like the one i sent the bottles in, they seem quite strong, and are only about 60p each.

            your thoughts gang?

              Only if you let us pay for them.

              I'll try sending my 2 in a Jiffy bag. If it arrives flat and damp, you'll know it wasn't suitable

                Sent my 4 in a post office rated box with bubblewrap...

                I've had bad experiences with jiffy bags and bottles in the past due to "mishandling" by the local postal service sorting office

                        Then why not enter proper bottles? or am I missing something here

                        I am entering PET's because I can't get to the show!

                        If I could it would be proper bottles!

                          I think Zeb is entering both shows

                          ( a good thing too)
