supplies

anyone know a good (cheap) place to purchase bubble mailers and 300ct boxes online?
Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    Tom - Royal Mailers on this forum - sent me a generous supply of BMs.

    They are every bit as serviceable as the expensive 3Ms that I have always used.

    When I buy the next batch, I will order from RM.

  • I tried them once about a month ago since they are also in Caifornia. I'll stick with esupply next time....

    Try these guys on ebay always running auctions and bins cheapest ive found, justpoundsandounces. Picked up 250 for 22.00 tmd.

    Also my problem with royal is they drop ship and takes forever or atleast my only 2 purchases though the mailers are topnotch.

  • Never had a problem with Royalmailers with the exception of getting a 100 ct box with 98 in it. They made it up by accident sending me 103 the next time I order from them.

    For boxes, I recently got some 5000 ct boxes and penny sleeves from BCW supplies. They shipped UPS next day and had them in 3 days and for a nice price.

    I agree with justpoundsandounces. He ships the same day and runs auctions daily with free shipping.

    I use e supply store, I think they are a pretty good quality and for 25 cents delivered for 100
    (25.00) you can get size 0.

    Gumby turned me on to them.

    edit I don't know if they sell 300 ct boxes though.

    Good for you.

    Tom at Royal Mailers


    He sent me a complimentary sample box; if I had paid for them, I would have been equally pleased.

    The stuff was shipped USPS and I had it in a couple days.

    They also have lots of other mailing supplies at reasonable prices. The tape is good
    and cheaper than WMT.

    They give a discount of some sort to CLCT forum users. Just email Tom, if interested.

    NOTE: Some folks have, in the past, voiced concern about the quality of the products.
    As I noted above, the ones I got are just as good as the 3Ms I usually use. If that
    was not the case, I would not say it was. Others may have different views, these
    are mine.

    I use tiny boxes inside all of my bubble mailers. The size #0 is good for my purposes.
    They measure 7 1/4" x 9".

  • I believe the two biggest concerns with Royalmailers are the quality of the sticky stuff and the thickness of the mailers. I have to believe the sticky stuff situation has been resolved because the case I have now is super sticky. The thickness is not a concern with me because I usually wrap my cards in bubblewrap anyway.

    For the price, I still think they are the best.

    I tape ALL of my mailers at the seal joint, and at the corners.

    I also use tiny boxes and bubble wrap and cardboard and styrofoam strips,
    inside the mailers. The things are ready to play football with when they leave me.

    Buyers often refer to them as "bombproof."

    And I think the employees at my post office do have a football game every afternoon.

    i just got back from Office Depot ^ they are having a buy $10 save $10 sale thru sunday.

    i got 2 packs of bubble wrap, 12x12x12 box ^ wrapping tape for under $10. that saves a few bucks from buying UPS box when shipping.
