How do you pack your mugs? We rarely have damages in transit, but all our mugs are individually wrapped in bubble packaging (which can be reused once printed).

We pack our individual mugs with bubble wrap and a slightly oversized box packed with left over card from the boxes the mugs come in originally. Fragile tape gets wrapped around the box and a return sticker goes on the back. Postage is £2.14 for 1st class, not recorded.

Never had one smashed yet and the ones that people can't be bothered to collect from the post office always come back due to the return sticker.

Cheers John

This is an industry which is very easy and relatively cheap to get in to. As can be seen by the membership on here, there are lots of people doing it as a hobby. Your margins don't need to be the same if you're not relying on them to provide food and a roof over your head.

All the above is true, but these people don't last long! It's still no fun making NO money 'on the side'
