How would you pack these?

[MarineBlue33]

I want to sell some DVD box sets but wondering how you would package them best.
Without packaging, one set weighs 778g.

I would need to factor in packing costs as well as the postage.

Also would you do Royal Mail regular post or go for tracking?

I always use the eBay system to buy postage as it's cheaper. I add on around 40p to my postage price. Eg item would be £3 by eBay Royal Mail second class, add on 60p for collection and charge £4 in total to cover printing, tape, packaging

How on earth do you cheaply and properly package dvd box sets? Sorry am clueless! I looked at some vids online but they seem to be from American packaging companies.

I used to re-use packaging like bubble wrap and padded envelopes. Which is, of course, no use if you don't have any saved!

@MarineBlue33 wrap them in brown paper and stick a label on? I don't see the issue. You can send a small parcel via eBay up to 2kg for £3.

Or just don't sell them on eBay. And will anyone buy dvds these days?

Padded envelopes that fit through a letterbox via Royal Mail best is best imho

If they’re in the original cases won’t they be protected by that? I would be really surprised if anyone would pay enough for DVDs to cover the postage though!

@Sooverthemill the ones I have are going for £15 to 20 - looking at recently sold prices.
Brown paper is not in any way protective enough

@QuizzicalEyebrows As they are box sets, they won't fit though a letter box.

Bubble wrap and mailing bag? Think about his you receive goods and do the same. You can buy I individual mailing bags from the post office. Reuse ones you get sent, same with any other packing material. Brown paper from Amazon is good for protective filler.

No need to send signed for, regular Royal Mail will give you a reference number on the proof of postage that you can use to check the item has been delivered. This will also suffice as proof of delivery in the event of a not received case.

I use old cereal boxes

That's a good idea.

@Sooverthemill I recently bought several DVDs/DVD box sets of TV series from the 1970s that I couldn't find available for streaming.

i sell for a charity and DVD box sets i put a layer of bubble wrap round the box the find a carboard box that is slightly bigger than the set and put into that or you can do a sleeve of light card and into a plastic post it bag then send evri courier as they are cheaper than royal mail and tracked
