<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eealopez, post: 974311, member: 23297&quot;]<b>Shipping Supplies/Fees</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Got a question about keeping the seller&#039;s shipping costs down. I plan on selling the 2008, 2009, 2010 series with a buy it now or best offer listing. Here&#039;s what I&#039;ve come up with so far. Please correct or offer other suggestions if you know a better way. The best prices I could find for shipping materials was on U-Line. </p><p>(Please feel free to check my math. I made C&#039;s in school.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are the links:</p><p><a href="http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-220/Poly-Bags-Reclosable/1-1-2-x-2-2-Mil-Reclosable-Bags" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-220/Poly-Bags-Reclosable/1-1-2-x-2-2-Mil-Reclosable-Bags" rel="nofollow">http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-220/Poly-Bags-Reclosable/1-1-2-x-2-2-Mil-Reclosable-Bags</a> Zips @ $0.02/ea</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-224/Padded-Mailers/4-x-8-Jiffy-Padded-Mailers-000" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-224/Padded-Mailers/4-x-8-Jiffy-Padded-Mailers-000" rel="nofollow">http://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-224/Padded-Mailers/4-x-8-Jiffy-Padded-Mailers-000</a> Mailers @ $0.134/ea. I calculated the weight of each mailer to be 0.928 oz/ea</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The content weight should be minimal. 12 cents in zips taped to a couple of index cards. (Does anyone know of a more &#039;professional&#039; looking card that wouldn&#039;t add too much to the weight?)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m unable to calculate the postage from the USPS website as I can&#039;t find an option for the &#039;surcharge&#039; they mention for using a mailer. I plan on taking a sample to the post office to check weight and different rates for different postal zones. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m all eyes and ears now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
