Sending one or more items to Inge Preservations for treatment is safe and simple if done properly.
A flat object should be protected with cardboard (2 sheets each side), or masonite for larger items, cut about 1" larger on each side than the object. The cardboard or masonite should then be taped securely on all four sides.
Objects such as newspaper clippings can simply be placed in a box or padded envelope, protected with cardboard.
For shipping, Federal Express or Parcel Post Priority mail are the preferred carriers, and insuring the items is recommended.

While there is always a risk of loss or damage in shipment, in the almost 30 years Bob has been in business, he has never experienced this. The greatest risk is usually the client not taking proper care in preparing the package, which is easily remedied if instructions are followed. Insurance for return shipping will be the decision of the owner, and will be purchased according to the instructions of the owner.
