Crest Toothpaste Liquid Gel Cavity Protection, Mint Flavor, 8.2oz, 9-Pack

The toothpaste is great - 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - It's Crest, so of course! I wish I could have rated packaging separately because that's where I have an issue. I would have given 2 or 3 ⭐️ for the condition of the order upon arrival. I ordered the 9 tubes of Crest in order to take advantage of the lower unit pricing - that was a great deal. The packaging leaves a lot to be desired though. The 9 tubes of Crest arrived in a plastic envelope/bag. I opened the bag through a hole torn in it - thankfully wasn't large enough for any of the toothpastes to fall out. The package apparently had a rough trip as the bag was pretty beat up and the boxes the individual toothpastes were in, inside the bag, were also pretty banged up. Fortunately all the tubes of Crest seem to be in good condition but I'd like to see this seller ship this order in a box from now on. Or perhaps, at least, wrap the toothpastes in bubble wrap before slipping into the bag. Boxes and other shipping materials can be obtained from the USPS for free (my husband has a business that ships dozens of pkgs daily and has never had a complaint). Yes, a box or added padding might increase the cost of shipping some but I'd rather pay 5 -25¢ more per tube (the price would still be competitive) in order to get safe %26 secure shipping. I do appreciate the lower unit price and I'll purchase from this seller again but I do hope when that time comes they have improved their packaging some.
