spatreats4u Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Ok so I try to ship my products always via usps priority mail...for a couple of reasons. However if someone just orders 1 or 2 products from me the smallest priority box that is a full square is still too big. I am not sure what else to use. I love that its free and I dont have to wrap or write on it with priority info. If someone only orders one scrub etc... what should I use??? Normally I dont have to worry about this but had 2 boxes which was just plain silly with all the filling I had to put in there . :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 What about bubble packs?? I usually use those for small things.HTH'sChristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barncat Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 go to www.uline.com they have tiny boxes there that are under .25 Surprisingly, we use them quite often, cusomters always seem to forget to order something and need just one of something or have a customer who needs something fast.

KristinesShower Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I think you will just have to suck it up and use the smallest box they have. It is not out of the ordinary (and actually recommended) that you pack your items and have 2 inches of padding on all sides. Using a bigger priority mail box won't drive your cost up any more really. The peanuts weigh nothing and I think the boxes are 4 or 5 ounces each.If they are paying for the shipping anyway - they may as well get well protected items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativegems Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Sometimes if the boxes are way too big I cut them down.Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demenshia Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I got some smaller boxes at walmart in the office section where they have packing tape and such. You could always use those inside the bigger box for added protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
