This was my first purchase from Lar's White Label Lubes (LSSTUFF).
I understand he's a member here.
I ordered a 32-oz bottle of Liquid XLOX from his eBay site since it seemed easier than other methods, just click and pay via PayPal.
Order was at my doorstep in a week, but there were emails about order status when received and when shipped. That's nice, letting me know it was coming.
Lars seals the jug with the original foam/foil seal under the cap. Then wraps the cap in electrical tape. Then puts the jug in a plastic bag. Then puts that in a Tyvek USPS envelope. Then puts that in a USPS flat-rate envelope. Then he tapes up the envelope.
Needless to say, there was NO leakage and NO damage.
Product was a lot thicker and gloppier than the Lee ALOX, which seems smoother and a bit thinner. In my case, this was absolutely perfect since I was going to thin it myself, and no need to pay for shipping thinner when what I needed was ALOX. The final product was identical in every way to Lee's ALOX, in terms of color, thickness, smell and taste. (Well, maybe not taste but I swear I can taste the stuff from the smell). Dries quick, coats fine, my finished bullets looked the same as LEE ALOX coated ones.
Shoots fine, works great, price is very good, and the sale was handled in a very professional manner. Two thumbs up for LS-STUFF.
I have one piece of advice:
The USPS has a PADDED flat rate envelope that is not available at the post office. You have to order it from the USPS web site. It costs the same as a regular cardboard flat-rate envelope to ship. It is a bubble-padded style envelope which might provide even more protection to your lube sticks or jugs. The USPS sends them to your door for free. They are specifically touted as being for large or irregularly-shaped objects.
My local PO has gotten a bit cranky about flat-rate envelopes that are not flat (1/4" tall max) and envelope shaped, and would not have wanted to send out the jug of XLOX in a flat-rate envelope. With the USPS budget crunch look for them to crack down on flat-rate shippers even more.

Just FYI, Lars, hope it helps. Thank you for doing what you do!
