Doll Makers Crafty Tip Even fragile items like dolls can be successfully shipped. The key to ship an item like this is to use oversize boxes and plenty of cushion material. Make sure that the box the doll is shipped in provides at very least 5 inches of clearance between the furthest protruding member (watch for the fingers as the most fragile) and the side of the box. Fill the void with a soft packing material. Do not use loose packing "peanuts". Put them in a bag if you plan on using them.
