I didn’t name a seller, although I guess it could be seen in the picture, which I’ve since removed. While it is frustrating that I’ve been having issues, the seller has communicated that they have every intention of taking care of this, although they are now out of stock and I have to wait an undetermined amount of time. The communication, while existent, is typically very short responses and has usually required a follow up. I understand people get busy, but when there’s a problem, communication can offset negative customer experience.
In this case magnets, if people are ordering just a few magnets, and doing so domestically, you can probably get away with just putting them in a paper envelope. But, I’ve ordered a few hundred magnets from several vendors both domestic and international, and all has used padding between the magnets and packaging. I ordered around 20 on the last order. They have sharp edges and imagine the pull, extra weight, and abuse a paper envelope would experience going half the world away and likely coming in contact will metal transportation bins, conveyors, and sorting machines. I can tell you the (8) .5” magnets would be packed 2 rows of 4 to make 2 inches. The tears in packaging of the last 2 shipments is not the entire width of the envelope, just the center partjust about as wide as what the magnets would be. The packing slips were still inside since they were folded the width of the envelop and only the centers were torn.
This is how magnet are typically wrapped before being packaged. This way, no sharp edges and more than a few mil of space between the magnet and anything they are attracted to.
