Hi everyone,

What is the best way to ship single cards? Bubble mailer? Where do you get them? What do you guys do for postage so you don't have to go to the post office?

Thanks for any input.

Single cards are best in a bubble mailer. If the card fits in a hard top loader, that is probably best with a sleeve on the card as well. If it doesn't, probably a Card Saver 1 between cardboard. I got my supplies at a local packaging company in South Florida, but if you aren't shipping out too many, you can just go to Office Depot or Staples. As far as postage goes, I usualy end up having to go to the post office. If you don't want to, you could print our priority labels online. I think im done now.

Thanks guys, this is great info. Do most of you go to the post office or print out labels at home?

personally I go to the post office...I figure the amount of money I would spend in ink cartridges is more than the gas/time to go to the post office

Not all bubble mailers are created equal. I'm not sure where Royal Bubble Mailers rank?

I recently received four cases of bubble mailers from Royal (missed out on their 10%, darn it)...

I will compare Royal's bubble mailers with other bubbles and get back with you all.

I will say that Royal's bubble mailers are not the thickest....but thick enough to protect cards
