As the heading said....If you dont kow where to post,post in here..............


I would love to know how everyone is sending out sold items to their customers.

I imagine mug printers send individual mugs in cardboard boxes and bulk by big boxes.

But I have seen some weid postal packaging of late, One guy has a unique method called t shirt in a can and puts a rolled up t shirt into a tin can with a design on. he has loads of different can designs and sends them out as two items in one, a flower pot (the can) and the t shirt. Then I have seen people folding up t shirts into boxes and sending them that way, presentation boxes wrapped in brown paper I imagine and then theres the americak instagram videos where they fold the t shirt up and stick it in a poly mailer. Thats fine for one t shirt but not for bulk sales.

How do package and post out what your selling, regardless of item and have you oticed a cost increas in P&P this year?

Mugs - I use a polybox and a plastic grey postal bag, the cardboard mug mailers had too many breakages for my liking. Bulk just goes back out the way they arrived.

In a previous life
T-shirts went in a Royal Mail large letter box in a grey postal bag. Bulk went in a bigger box.

Having come back to things I can say yes postage has gone up and shopping around makes quite a difference. Often Evri is cheaper and in my experience quite good (contrary to everybody else!), but a 2.5kg parcel to somewhere in Scotland was far cheaper with Royal Mail 48 because there was no surcharge.

So I certainly haven't reinvented the wheel.

The can idea is clever.
