Teddahlia Someone had an angry screed on facebook a few weeks ago about getting tubers mailed in bubble wrap.  His tubers, incidentally, arrived fine (which I pointed out, he was not impressed).   A fair number of people piled on saying that tubers should come in boxes.    A couple of weeks later, I got tubers from you, also arrived in lovely condition in bubble wrap.  I think either is fine. If the post is determined to destroy a package, it doesn't matter whether it is a box or a bubble mailer.   People get upset these days about a lot of things these days.  I've never had problems with boxes or bubbled wrapped tubers, so the least waste and least $$ is my personal preference.  I also feel like these days, everyone wants things exactly the way they want them....with candy, without candy, with pretty packaging, or without pretty packaging, stickers but no pens....with little flexibility.  I appreciate all the dahlia sellers who have to put up with everyone.
