What is the safest, most economical way to ship a single PSA graded pack?

How do you typically package a single graded PSA pack? Thanks, Tom

    Those packs are pretty strong. I have used regular bubble mailers for pack worth up to $75 or so without any issues. I think it's like 9 ounces total. More expense PSA graded packs do nicely in 400 count card boxes.

    I'd wrap tightly in bubble wrap to fit snugly in a Priority Box. I think 5.95 and there in 2 days with tracking. That's how I'd like to receive, so that's how I'd ship. Probably depends on the pack though, and I'm not a regular shipper so there's likely better Econ/Safety ratios available.

    Priority mail box.

    First class in a bubble mailer will cover up to 13 ounces for the cheapest method.



    Small priority box is the safest way to ship it.



    I have purchased PSA cards and packs from both Daniel and Tim and they are spot on = small priority box, safe, trackable, quick shipment = everyone's happy.

    I think Jim has it right. I prefer boxed delivery whenever possible. Use PayPal shipping and a Small Flat Rate Priority box is like $5.20 or so IIRC. You can also use your own box and ship first class if you can keep it under 13oz. I would rather pay the extra couple bucks and get the product there faster with the $50 of insurance that priority includes.
