How do you ship uncut sheets?

frankhardy

I am getting ready to sell a bunch of uncut sheets. I will be selling them individually. One of them is a 1984 Fleer Update uncut sheet set. Anyway, what is the best way to ship these?

ship them in a bat tube. and the post office has long triangle shaped priority boxes that the tube will fit into.

Hi Shane,

it might be cheaper to buy a mailing tube from Staples etc.

I'm pretty sure they're available in plain brown wrap as well as the white ones shown below.

also, they're very pretty sturdy and won't bend or crush very easily. we use them all the time.

you can affix your label and postage on the outside of the tube.

That is kind of what I was thinking. (I didn't mention it because I wanted an unbiased opinion). Will anyone be displeased that the sheets are rolled up, or is that pretty much a standard thing when it comes to shipping sheets? (say those 2 words real fast 5 times )

As for shipping them flat, I really don't know how that could even be done (at least, very economically).

I'd be seriously po'd if I got a sheet in a tube. I've bought a lot of them, and they are always shipped flat. It's more expensive, but that is expected. Build it into the price.

You have to give options. Nobody is going to want the '84 Fleers rolled. If we are talking '87 Topps give a rolled option.

just write the address on the back and put a couple stamps on it

Thanks for the advice. I just didn't know. How do you go about shipping them flat? How do you normally receive them? The only 2 ways that I can think of is sandwiching them between two large pieces of cardboard (but then, they might get bent) or finding a box that large, which may not be easy. Any help would be appreciated.

How much does it normally cost with the sheet being so large?

I will now definitely give the buyer options.

Stamp on the back? Good one!

Shane,

Please PM me with a condition description on the 84 Fleer Update uncut sheet and how much you are looking to get for it.

Take care,

Shane-

Ive seen toploaders for sheets, though not sure where they them came from. If anyone does the research Id really like to know.


Thanks, matt

Next question does someone have the priority price for shipping in the triangle boxes?

Flat Shipping........

Big toploaders on page 7


tops


These are placed between two sheets of photo-board - or 1/4-inch thick cardboard;
wrap in brown paper and tape 'em nice.

Can go Priority.

UPS will also do it.

I have shipped many cheap sheets in tubes, but there is some risk if the packer
is careless. Wrinkles and tiny creases can happen.

The rolled sheets do flatten out nicely when placed in big toploaders. Takes a
few weeks to get them real flat. (Put phone books on top and flip often.)

If a tube is used, it should go into the USPS triangle box unless the item is
real inexpensive.
