One of the best techniques Ive seen and copied since is using standard US
Postal Service Priority mail boxes, they are free and VERY sturdy if you
turn them inside out! Just slice down one side, and flip it inside out.
Take off the tape protectors off the flaps and stick the flaps together
after tucking them in and it creates a nice pocket for several records
with the stuck-together box flaps acting as reinforcement against
bending. You can even use a thin sheet of bubblewrap for extra care and
just tape up the only open side of your pocket and mail away - and since
its inside out, you dont HAVE to pay priority rates as it just looks like
regular cardboard.
You may want to take a few boxes home and do it there - When I dont go to
my normal Post Office I get strange looks when I do my box surgery onsite.
