yes you are correct, I could do that. But I won't, and heres why. I'm not going to go the cheapest route and not protect the product. It could very easily get broken during shipment. So therefor I'd wrap it in enough bubble wrap plus put a lot of bubble wrap in the box so it doesn't move around. I ship things how I'd want them shipped to me. I'd much rather have a working product than a broken one. If you'd prefer broken, then be my guest and ship your items the cheap way, I'll continue to actually do things the way I see fit!
