Do you provide a 10 page itemized list?  Or just say "household utensils"

Household utensils is the old way.  Detailed list required now.

We just received a BB box in March.  Before shipping it we were concerned about all the new rules we read about... turns out it was business as usual. No packing list, and no questions asked.

No packing list

Must be a shipper thing as when I sent mine over 18 months ago the packing lists were supplied or downloaded and printed where you fill in the blanks. Forex Australia.

Yes, I started to fill in the booking form on Forex and I was wondering if it would ask for that, but I didn't get that far.

It's all put into a plastic folder which is attached to the box at pickup time.

We have used Forex and Atlas. In over 5 years, and at least 18 boxes... we never filled out any kind of packing slip.  When I moved over here I shipped 11 boxes, and had itemized lists for each box. I assumed they would want them. I printed a copy for me and one for them. They did not want them. 

Like everything... your mileage may vary.
