I could fit 400 in the bigger small flat rate box, 2-300 in the smaller one.
I also bought a lot of maybe a couple thousand British cards, lower grade. They came in a flat rate box, with a 91 score set in a binder and a bunch of other 91 score all used as packing material.

I once ordered 100 smaller bubbly envelope mailers online. A rather large box arrived that was filled with at least 250 of the same envelopes. On the invoice/packing slip enclosed there was a note saying that if the order didn’t fill their shipping box that additional product may be enclosed as packing material.
I didn’t complain. Unfortunately I am still sending cards in the “packing” material from that order
and I can’t remember where they came from when the time comes to re-order.
I think the actual cost with the packing material was 6 cents each for the mailers, a good deal in my opinion.
