I know people have issues with the US Postal Service, and UPS is pretty good. . . . . but at all costs avoid those UPS stores that ship for you. What clip joints there are. They will charge you $40+ dollars to ship something for 2 day service that the postal service will deliver for 12 bucks. Highway robbery those places. My wife was sending boxes to colleges and when I saw the hundreds of dollars she was spending my head almost exploded. Boxes are free at the post office for priority mail. These stores will charge you outlandish prices. My experience is that often times they are 3 times as expensive as the post office. Avoid.

Convenience comes at a cost for those who are un-educated.

You're very right.

That's a good suggestion. $.55 each for 10, plus shipping. Very reasonable, and it leaves plenty of room for multiple cards, and bubble wrap if needed.

Thanks again, guys!

USPS padded flat rate envelope (free, can be ordered online with an account) inside a USPS small flat rate box (same). Tape the seams, I have seen them open.

USPS is the best option, but if you need different sizes - I ask around at Walmart and other big stores

I like to use 400 count boxes. Not recommending this seller, just showing what I use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-CSP-400-...cAAMXQhpdRsVHB

I agree with Peter. You can open an account at USPS.com and order free boxes and free padded bags, and they will be shipped to your home with free shipping. Always apply extra tape on the seams of USPS boxes, especially the small flat rate boxes.

Never ship a graded card in a bubble mailer or padded bag, unless you have the card in a box inside the mailer, or the bubble mailer inside of a box.

If you need large quantities of boxes, photo mailers, or padded mailers, try Uline.com. You can order them by the case and prices are low, even with shipping costs factored in.
