I know a lot of us here ship coins pretty often, and one of the expenses is for bubble mailers. Well, check out Walgreens this week, they have a sale on bubble mailers sizes 6x9 and up for 39 cents a piece regardless of size. I don't work for walgreens or anything, I was just in there today and noticed their ad in the circular (the shelves weren't marked, they change the price at the register). Just thought I'd share since I sell a lot of coins and notes, and stocked up on these for the future. Enjoy.
You're right, I just looked into it.... somehow I never thought of buying them on ebay. Thanks for the heads up lol.
I use almost exclusively 4x8's and I get them for about 10¢ each from eBay, but I have to buy 250. I only use a couple of the larger ones, so I buy them at Sam's.
If you ship via USPS Priority Mail anyways, the postal service now has padded bubble mailer flat rate priority mail envelopes for FREE. They don't have them in the post offices usually, but you can order them for free off the USPS website.
Would appreciate a link to those. I find boxes, tape, labels and envelopes, but no bubble mailers (unless you want to pay starting at $3.87).

I normally use USPS complementary products for coins. When I receive a coin, I typically save any reusable packaging. If I have a large shipping requirement (like when we are shipping industrial products bought at auction), then we use www.uline.com I have one customer in Taiwan that always sends me items by EMS mail using Federal Express boxes. The cheapskates get the boxes free from Fed Ex and they turn them inside-out & ship them using the cheaper EMS mail rate.
