Just got back from the post office where I went to pick up the 4.95 box (which is now 5.20) and see: THERE IS NO WAY THIS STUFF IS GONNA FIT IN THERE. WILL HAVE TO SHIP IN THE 10.95 BOX. Know this is a lot of $. Sorry.
Isn't there a flat-rate 7.95 box where the weight doesn't matter as long as it fits in the box? I used to sell on eBay & I think there may be a way for you to save your buyers a couple of bucks ... (sorry to butt in, just trying to be helpful LOL)
And sometimes, depending on location, you can come out cheaper sending parcel post (or even UPS in some cases) than the flat rate boxes....you just may have to wait a couple more days...and fyi...I've had the 4.95 box bulked out and it still shipped fine with no extra owed on the other end...just buy your shipping via paypal through the multi order shipping tool....just what I have learned from selling.
ya someone had shipped me a bunch of make up and it looked like she left the box open stacked everything in it then just put the rest of the box around it and taped it all up...it was a 4.95 priority...i was surprised when i got it....that thing was buldging all over the place
That is how you do it!! As long as you tape it up securely and there is nothing really fragile/breakable then you're fine. Oh, and don't give it to them at the window...just put it in a drop box.
Oh, and another idea is doing a priority flat rate envelope. Not the cardboard kind but they more pliable one...it will fit a lot and its $4.75....just trying to help :)
