  • Shipping Cards cheapest price?!?!

    I keep going to the post office with what I think weighs less than my last visit, and it seems that every time the minimum shipping is $1.95!?!

    This seems ridiculous to me. There MUST be a cheaper way to ship sports cards..

    I am using the tiny gray bubble mailers

    Help??!

    My cost is usually 2.51-2.80 thats with d/c. What you need to remember is the person getting the cards. You need to remember shipping them safely is the important thing. If you are shipping the card in a way that you would be happy to receive the card.

            It usually runs me about $1.71. There are some days when I get lucky and I am only charged $0.64, because the packages don't weigh enough and are considered letters. I don't know how that happens, as my shipping methods have always been the same.

              I pretty much seem to pay 1.95 for a bubble mailer. The price actually just went up last month I think. I used to pay 1.71. But yeah, you can do it cheaper with the other options here. You just need to pay by Paypal I believe. And (I think) you need a scale. I am all about using bubble mailers to keep the stuff safe. Even for a couple of inserts. To me, I love to trade. And spending a little money to keep the cards safe on arrival means a lot to me!

              I unfortunately can no longer afford to trade outside the US. Even rates to Canada are way too high now!

                I just finally figured out how to ship through Paypal and it is only $1.64 with D/C...saving me over a $1 per item...

                for all the times I rip Paypal for the fees, that is a great deal...

                  So what do you need to do? Just weigh the package and then create an account on there, and print a label? Can you also do flat rate packages there as well?
