    Purely by accident I found a dirt cheap way to ship glass, had 5 sheets of glass standing on edge and they fell over resulting in this, should be much cheaper than normal. As a bonus I'm going to sell them on Ebay as puzzles, it will keep the kids busy for years and I'll be rich!!

    Good thing the box was there to catch all the pieces! I hate putting a puzzle together only to find out I'm missing a piece

    With the weight of glass you will have to transfer it into flat rate boxes to get the best shipping price. At least it will fit well!

    You could do some trendy click bate youtube thing and try melting it down and making something out of it.
    I broke a glass for an arcade game in a garage of a rental like 10+ years ago and still found glass pieces when I moved out a couple years later. I even STILL found glass pieces just a few years ago in an old tool box I rarely use from that same stupid piece of glass. That box saved the day for sure.

    Had a machine shipped to me from Tenn. couple years ago and the glass broke, it took HOURS to get it out and like you said, still found pieces in the machine for weeks, can you imagine if it weren't tempered glass, OMG!

    Yeah, but then the cheap overseas knockoffs (using sweepings from the side of the highway) come in and knock you off. Those kids will be laboring away on their new puzzle expecting pinball glass as the reward and when they're done... they have the windshield of a 2003 Toyota.
