Bubble Mailers - Almost Free

I was at Office Depot today, and they had 12 packs of bubble mailers for $7.99, but with 100% of that refunded through their Worklife Rewards program. Other items useful for coin sales packing and sipiing that were 100% refundable were: Fiskar scissors, paper (holiday letterhead), pop-up tape, and pens.

    Wow, 144 bubble mailers for $7.99 is a deal anyway!

    Good bubble mailers are tough to find too....usually the bubbles pop before they arrive at their destination.

    I think he means one pack of twelve. I save mine if I can open them without destroying them and use them again. I believe they are close to a buck apiece usually.

    I get them in cases of 250 at a time from valuemailers.com. After trying a few places, I've found these by far the strongest bubble mailers available, and just under 14c/each in a case of 250. Much cheaper than buying them in a store at normal prices (nothing trumps free, of course!) but the downside is that you need to buy a lot, so it can be hard if you don't ship much.

    That's correct. it's one twelve pack.

    I usually buy bubble mailers on Ebay. They're pretty cheap there.

    uline is tough to beat for padded mailers if you do any volume at all.

    Could you just ship lots more stuff more often? Send it to yourself or friends and neighbors. Lots of folks like to get unexpected nice packages, and you would be helping the USPS, too!

    FYI: Sam's Club has a box of 25 3M mailers for less than $6. Shipping is free and you don't have to buy tons of them.

    I may have to see what Costco has to offer...
    Then again... I always like to reuse them. It's better for the environment.
