ONE... one piece of tape will not hold your box shut when shipped via UPS

I never understood that. People and companies tape boxes like they were going to be handled by..by...someone who actually cares about the contents!! Shippers are trying to save on tape and other staples. Shipping companies are about speed and efficiency, not so much about taking care of the goods. That's what insurance is for. Or do I have that wrong? That's the philosophy I use when I ship. I assume the box is going to go through a tornado or get used as a toy for a cage full of gorillas. I put tape all around the box, not in pieces but one long strip across the top and around till it meets. Then in the middle, same way. Then each side of the middle. Then each side of the middle lengthwise. About the only piece of the actual box you can see is little squares here and there plus the address label!

I take always a good insurance when I send something, generally 2 or 3 times the value of what I send, so I think I can put only one piece of tape, and I expect from you if the pack is spilled on the floor, to refuse it, not to charge me.
