Yes, you got me all excited when you said that usps offered free tape. I thought maybe they brought it back...Tape & Bubble Wrap are the most expensive things for me and I go through them like water. At least I did get my local heath care center to give me their shredded paper from shredded documents. I can get at least 2 garbage bags full of it every two weeks..saves me some good dough on void fill and works way better than peanuts anyway...nothing moves around when it is surrounded by all that paper..it does add a little more weight than peanuts but well worth the extra security. Now if i could only find a way of getting free or really cheap bubble wrap and tape...lol
