Where do you get your packaging from for clothes etc?

[cheeseandmushroomtoastie]

Am after some plastic envelopes etc to post tops, light dresses etc. can you recommend where I can get them from? My local post office is rubbish. Also have some shoe-size boxes to send - i would normally just wrap them in brown paper - is there a better (and cheaper) way of sending them?

Thanks

Look for mailing bags on Ebay - you can get 50 in 3 assorted sizes for about £5.

For the boxes, you could just tape up and write the address on?

no brown paper just a sheet of A4 on top for address and postage sticker

I would only cover a box if it was something on outside that folks might not like not everyone wants what looks like a giant orange box of pampers on doorstep but old crisp box is fine ( not that pampers would bother me but it might some)

mailing bags on ebay work about less than 10p each less if small sizes

thanks - will look on ebay, didnt think of looking there ....

I try and keep my postage costs to a minimum. I recycle packaging and I use turn smart plastic bags inside out and use them for packaging. Then I put a piece of white paper on the front and cover it with sellotape so the address is waterproof.
