Guys/Gals,

I'm use to sending several tokens in USPS express boxes, but I have to send a couple. I've go that handled with bubblers, but for next time what are the best envelopes to send 1-2 tokens?

Thanks in advance!

I can tell you that TD Tavern has sent me a couple through these tiny cardboard mailers and he seals it with tape around...very safe...just hard to open..

:laugh:

but in all seriousness, the reinforcement of the packing tape over the entire mailer makes it a very strong piece that can deal with whatever and assure that the token (up to 12) arrives safely...plus you only need to pay $5 for the priority tracking...!

I use small bubble mailer envelopes. I have to print and tape on the label so I also tape up all the edges. Tokens inside I put in small token bags (from the 10-packs) just so they don't move around as much.

I ship on PayPal as First Class Mail Parcel - Package / Thick Envelope which usually costs about 3 bucks. Link: www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now
Classes Played: Barbarian (65 times), Monk (56), Ranger (33), Rogue (25), Cleric (21), Fighter (13), Druid (12), Paladin (11), Dwarf Fighter (10), Bard (7), Elf Wizard (2), Wizard (2)

These are my preferred way of shipping. I bought a box of 100 - will probably cover all the trades I ever do.

Those cost me about $0.25/ea in bulk, so if anybody wants to buy some from me and cover shipping I'd be happy to send some out.

It's funny because I was just thinking about how difficult those might be to open, as I was taping one up tonight.

Some fun facts about those envelopes: (1) I actually fit up to 18 tokens in there arranged in 6 stacks of 3 and (2) the amount of tape I put on is more or less dependent on the value of the tokens inside. So if I ship a Charm of Avarice there isn't an inch of that envelope that isn't covered by packing tape.

Eh. I'm just used to pulling out the box cutter if I get a package from you. Easy peasy

I use bubble envelopes also. I've sent tons of them and have never had a problem. The price for shipping is getting to about $4 for me for them. Unless it's an ebay sale, then it's only about $3.

I’m hijacking the thread a bit but does anyone use a print at home solution for postage and mailing? I try not to go into the post office itself now and would prefer something that lets me print postage at home and still have tracking numbers. Any suggestions for that?
