May I jump in? I have several bottles of ink which are not being appreciated at the current time and need a little kickstart to getting my pens back in rotation.
If I am allowed in, this is what it might look like

You're In!
The box arrived today, it looks like a sample had a small leak although nothing major and no major damage.
I will look over the contents make my decisions, make my additions and get it on the way!

The box has been passed to Vlad, it was great to put a face with the name! I also included a couple of composition books if someone wants them. Hope someone gets some enjoyment from the inks that I included!

Good choice with the Diamine Claret, Tom (imo). It's easily one of my favorite inks!

I'm ankle deep in ink!
Swim Vlad swim!
Hopefully not because the packaging failed...
It is a nice looking ink! I was skeptical of the color, but out of M400 it looks pretty good.
Tom
Nope, everything is intact. Should I be wrapping electrical tape around everything before the next leg?
That's what everyone has been doing. Andy originally suggested Saran (cling) wrap. My guess is that the electrical tape will do a better job of making sure the lid doesn't unscrew and also seal in any small leak that does occur.
I individually wrapped the bottles in Saran wrap and then put them in zip-lock bags.

Electrical tape around the cap will help prevent leaks. If, somehow, a bottle is broken, the saran wrap keeps the glass from going everywhere. The plastic zipper bags keep the ink from getting on everything else. The bubble wrap and peanuts help prevent broken glass. It may be over the top, but it seems to work well, ime. Of course, very little helps if the box gets run over, which is something I've seen happen.

Everything has electrical tape on the caps except for the ones that I put in. Also each bottle is in it own small size ziploc bag and each sample is in its own ziploc bag.

I haven't heard back from Jeff_H. We may need an alternate - who's going to be next?
