Hello DeDe,

>     Oh well another business loss! 

    I can't think of what you might do now that doesn't involve lying,
    threatening and losing customers. For the future you can advise your
    consignees that any unreturned boxes will be invoiced at $XX.xx per
    box. I would also advise them that any returned merchandise that is
    damaged in transit will be invoiced at full retail if the original
    box isn't used. 

    I would recommend that you do not use a round number, something like
    $37.65 or $49.32 so that if someone asks 'why so much' you can say
    that you were told that is the cost of the shipping rider on your
    insurance which is void without your boxes. A strong box with a
    printed meaningless serial number would be a nice touch. 

    Of course there is no need to mention that you don't actually have
    an insurance rider or that the person that told you the cost was not
    an insurance broker but merely an annoying stone cutter in another
    country that gets upset when he hears of artists getting ripped off.
    The good guys with a respectful, responsible and businesslike
    attitude will not object as it will not cost them or cause them a
    need to change anything. The ones that do object are the ones that
    will return your stuff in an envelope. 

Tony
