Yeah, but it’s another extra step. I just shipped out an 800 piece order for $15 and all the packing supplies (except tape) were included in the price since I used the “free” USPS boxes.
I ordered stamps and boxes eons ago and still haven’t gotten them. So far I’ve managed to find ONE MORE small flat rate box that hasn’t been eaten through by silverfish each time I’ve gotten desperate, but I think the box closet has yielded all it has at this point.
And I can’t find a working postal scale in this house, except for the big one that will one work for stuff over 5 lbs (Dad was shipping books), so flat rate is really my best option.
I did find a few of the cardboard envelopes. If I lay out 25 ear savers, connected together, in a 1-2-1-2…1 conformation I can get 25 per layer with a strip of packing tape down the center to hold them together, and 4 layers wrapped in 2 layers of bubble wrap will just fit in one of those.
Also, I mentioned it somewhere already, but it’s cheaper to ship through goShippo.com than through the Post Office, even using the flat rate packaging.
I’ve been prepeeling both sides and putting a sheet of copy paper underneath to avoid flashback.
They look fine but get rinsed in a basket in the dishwasher before going out.
