>>No offense to any postal worker reading this; but the mail 
                        handlers are a bunch of gorillas, who really don't care about 
                        the mail they are handling (despite those films they show on 
                        the monitors at the post office).  So it's up to the sellers 
                        to protect their merchandise in anyway they can, so that us, 
                        the buyers won't complain about it later.<<


I'm not a postal worker, but I do have friends who are and I've
come to know the employees at my local post office, so I think
you're writing off the post office workers a little too easily.
From what I've seen they've always handled things with care.  However,
remember things tend to settle and move during shipping (Think about 
it...it's not like they have someone holding each packet while it is
in a plane or in a truck) and it's difficult to move a large quantity of 
oddly shaped things.  Sure, they don't particularly care about
your particular package, but I don't think they're just tossing them 
around.  It's inconsiderate to think and talk such a way and make such
a sweeping claim.  However, I do believe you are right that certain
precautions must be taking place in mailing cels.  A cel is an incredibly 
fragile item.
