Bubble Mailers

[austin]

Hey guys, im in need of around 50-100 bubble mailers for shipping out cards. Do you guys know where i can get cheap ones (how much ea) and what size i need on average if only shipping out one card per mailer? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: Also, if the bubble mailers you buy are online, how much is the shipping from them to Canada?

Hit a dollar store... you can get packs of 3 for 1.00. So that would be 34.00 for 102 envelopes. Post office is a 10 pack for around 7.00. So that would be 70.00 for 100 envelopes.

Do you know what size to get? 4"*8"?

There's a guy in Richmond that used to sell them in bulk on eBay based out of Richmond that allowed for local pickup, however, haven't heard from (I emailed him a month ago) or seen his auctions up on eBay lately. Get a small quantity from the dollar store, but keep an eye out on eBay for local guys that list giant bulk lots.

2 years ago I got 250 of the smaller mailers and 125 of the next step up for $25 for each lot which averaged out to 10 and 20 cents per.

Hey, well let me know if the guy from Richmond contacts you back because I could pick it up easily. When you say the smaller size, is that 4 by 8 #100? How many cards do you think would fit into one of those? just a regular base card.

I am looking at this right now: http://cgi.ebay.ca/60-000-4x8-Kraft-Bubble-Mailer-Padded-Envelope-4-x-8_W0QQitemZ220327620506QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_Mailers_Envelopes?hash=item334c8caf9a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1215|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50

I contacted the seller to make sure its free shipping to Canada. If it is, it averages out to be around .24$ CDN per mailer. Let me know what you think. Decent deal for the amount quantity? 60 is about how much i need.

Cheap at wholesales stores in the states like Sam's club and Costco. Don't know what you have in canada.

I'll let you know if the Richmond dude ever contacts me back. I don't even remember his eBay user ID or I'd give it to you.

I doubt highly that the seller above will ship to Canada free of charge. The volume of the box (not necessarily the weight) would make shipping actually cost more than the price you're paying for the mailers. Your best bet off eBay within Canada in terms of regularly listed items is Bubblefast.

Like others have mentioned, if you can't get them online, I tend to get them at a dollar store or even Canadian tire for fairly cheap. I try and avoid getting them at the P.O. unless I have no choice as I find them expensive.

I always buy my bubble mailers from this seller: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/UPAKNSHIP__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Cheap shipping cost to Canada

If you ship one card by mailer, take the 4X8 (#000)

 

[bsg73]

London Drugs has them at 29 cents, a tad cheaper than the dollar store.

just go on ebay. I buy mine 50 for $15 dlvd from one of the sellers.

If you run a search for "bubble mailer" you'll get hundreds of listings.

Thanks, im going to either purchase 100 or 75 (50 and 25). What do you guys use, Ecolite, or Super Duty? Whats the difference?

 

[The Great Zo]

Always buy in bulk. I bought something like 500 mailers at the same time. That was 4 years ago and I still have not run out.
