For those of you who ship (and ship OFTEN) in bubble mailers, I just wanted to suggest checking out eBay. They have a lot of "dealers" who package up sets of the mailers (in 25, 50, 100, +) and it calculates WAY better than paying what I initially paid when I first started on here and bought from Target or the office store. There are buy it now deals (I think last time I got 100 #2 mailers - which is about the size for a typical trade paperback or small hardcover - for $21). They also have the regular auctions. Last night I won one for 200 #2 for $35.86, which includes shipping. It comes to about 18 cents per mailer. I go through a lot of these! I just prefer them to shipping with the paper wrapped around the book, it seems more protective. Anyway, of course, they have bigger mailers too (I got 75 of the #4 mailers, big enough for a hardcover and mass market paperback together) for about the same $21 a while back (but I noticed I hardly ever use these, so mostly stick to the #2 size). Anyway, there are a lot of deals going on right now (no, I'm not a seller, so I'm not hyping myself!). A few auctions for the sets of 200 #2 end over this weekend, so check it out!
