This does not apply to all my listings only fragile items. But I am adding a note generally. When packing fragile items, I sometimes (not always) recycle (donated from friends and family) packaging from a well known fresh food producer for pets. This is in the form of sheep wool. Rather than throw this away I use it for fragile items in transit. This wool can also be further recycled for use within your garden for composting and keeping plants warm during winter. If this is an issue for you and you would rather I do not use it in your parcel, please let me know as I don't wish to offend anyone. If you prefer I use an alternative I also use capok which is sourced from seed pods and also a synthetic hollow fibre filling. With Best Wishes x
