BUT I was surprised and disappointed that you did not pack this with a stiff cardboard or other insert to prevent bending. Just a suggestion in case you mail similar items in the future. You did put a DO NOT BEND sticker on the envelope but that does not necessarily stop the Post Office from bending it into a small PO Box like I use. Fortunately, they did not do that this time. Had they done so, you would not be getting positive feedback. Bud
