I don't think Fragile matters. I used to work for UPS a long time ago and they used to throw packages and stack heavy boxes ontop of smaller boxes cramming packages into containers. So your records are getting abused no matter what.
They don't really care for "Fragile" stickers at all.
However, if you leave them a note that usually works. I tried this once too, I mailed two tupperware containers with some records and odds and ends when I was moving. On one I attached a note with a stick-man that said "Mail person! I'm a poor student, please respect these things, they're all I have. Thanks!"... that one came prestine, the other one was bashed up to hell. They were mailed at the same time.

Just yours.
Thats probably fuckin-A right!
They see the nice address, and they get all jealous and shit. I never thought of that.
Why are you a postal employee who does this??
If i was, then I wouldn't have to ask, now would I?
Postal employees are taught only to steal packages that are not insured.
Fragil stamp means nothing, it just makes the customer feel good.

If you think about it, that's right.
If you handled thousands of packages a day and made $12 an hour, some fragile, some not, would you pay much attention to the "fragile" ones? Nah.
It means they are from England - packed in those weak-ass flimsy record mailers.
yes... at least when i worked for FedEx we did.
you'd be disgruntled too if you had to spend your evenings in the hot ass bulk compartment of a plane. at least the pay was semi-decent...

Sounds like a good idea.
