I get a 5 pack of 000 bubble mailers for $1.45 at a local thrift shop here in town. At Walmart, they equal out to .44 each for the 000 Duck brand.

5 pack for $1.45 is pretty good, I should try to find something like that.

I ship coins every day in the mail. I use a standard white envelope. I rap the coin with paper and tape it really good to a normal sheet of printer paper. You can pay .20 extra to have it hand canceled and it won't go threw the machine. I have NEVER lost a coin in 2 years from a damaged envelope. I even have shipped ikes this way.

Do you use Delivery Confirmation? It's a simple $0.80 investment that really pays off in the long run...and if you use PayPal shipping the cost is a lot lower.



Delivery Confirmation is only $0.19 when using PayPal Multi-Order Shipping. Delivery Confirmation is free using USPS Click-N-Ship on Priority Mail.

JPs Corner has #000 bubble mailers at 50 for $10.95 if you're picking up other supplies that's a good price (under 22 cents/ea).

I sold a $60 Seated Half tonight and used PayPal Shipping (2ozs/USPS 1st Class w/Delivery Confirmation) and the total postage was $1.58 + 22 cent mailer = $1.90.

DVCollector, yes, sometimes mail to this town takes forever!! Everything has to go to Vancouver for resorting, then is resent out to the other BC communities, is the way I understand how this works for BC. I think mail routes got changed majorly a few months back, with a lot of cutbacks on routes, but I don't remember the whole spiel or story. Funnily enough, from Texas I got a regular letter (card) from a friend in a week, yet special delivery small bubble envelope took 3 weeks ... its mostly just unpredictable as far as time in the mail goes I find.

I buy the bubble mailers by the case. If I remember right, there was 250 in a case and they came out to about $.16 each or something like that.

I bought a case of 500 a couple years ago for $42 shipped on ebay. They were the 4x8 size. Came out to about 8.5 cents each. If I can find my receipt I will give you the sellers name. I think they still sell on there.
