Brickmaster Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 I am relatively new to the realm of actually shipping things; I guess I always took it for granted when I was the buyer. I am coming across troubles when it comes to finding a viable and cost effective shipping method. USPS doesn't seem to get any cheaper than 5 bucks than for a small package, and I'm not sure if I can send a regular bubble wrap envelope in the mail with a regular stamp. I am mostly looking to sell my mini figures; does anyone have any veteran advice in this area? Given that alot of the figures I would like to sell are worth over $10 dollars each, I really want to make sure I get everything right, and safe. I also thought this would be fitting for the buying & selling section; and I found no other threads in the search relating to this. Thanks for any help, guys!
Ricecracker Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 I'd recommend reading through Nannan's guide to Bricklinking minifigs - it really is informative.
BlueDragonZ Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Usually the lowest price to ship minifigures is using a very simlar service like lettermail. Its fast but conditions are theres no tracking or insurance. But i say thats probably the most cost effective shipping method.
SuvieD Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Buy your supplies in bulk online and consider getting a printer access to a printer that can handle printing postage. You can bubble mailers for about $0.30 per piece and plastic zip bags at $0.01 each. If you print your own postage you can save a trip to the post office as they will pick up you mail for you. You might also need a postal scale if you plan on being extremely accurate and will use it often. Check esupply.com store and gtbag.com
