Hobbycraft are no longer doing the 15 compartment trays for the Really Useful Boxes.

Staples do them, but at £4 each (not £2.50)

You can buy them from the manufacture at £2.50, but there is a flat £11 postage.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Blimey...They've put their postage rates up !
I use the smallest of their clip down boxes to send masters, if there are more than 'so many' going in the post at the same time.
Other tiny plastic little boxes I use I've got from a firm called Manchester Minerals.
Those are very useful too.

Have to say that Leon is one of the only people I make things for, that bothers to send these back. :-bd

Absolutely - if you are providing high grade packaging then it should be charged for. I suspect many customers either keep the master in the little box, or don't even think that you might want the packaging back.
