Wrap the loaves in plastic wrap and then foil unless
you have one of those vacuum sealers. Place in a sturdy box
and cushion with bubble wrap, foam peanuts, or crumpled
newspaper.

Most important: ship Priority, second or third day delivery
at the slowest. POst Office, UPS, or other delivery service
is OK as long as they guarantee quick delivery. Oh, and
SHIP EARLY.
