As some ppl do not send packaging when they ask u to post (despite your post requesting a stamped addressed envelope?!) rather than be out of pocket having to buy brown paper/envelopes/bubble wrap etc... these are a cheap way out. You may even have some lying around that you could use. This idea may be helpful to someone.

To those who are not aware what sae stands for:
s.a.e. = STAMPED ADDRESSED ENVELOPE!
I totally agree with you and i have done it on plenty of occassions. When i go to post office its by foot and i put all the packets ect under my sons buggy as the stay drier in the plactic bags. i'm also using old xmas paper turn the other way round to post books, dvd ect. Its all done in the name of recycling lol.
