    here is where i get my stuff from:

    jiffy bags : 99p shop or poundland . 12 size d jiffy bags for 99p isnt bad

    post bags : polybags.co.uk. Brought in bulk since they worked out slighlty cheaper than ebay and autionpax. A good company.

    brown paper: from work place. mostly use post bags but for the odd occasion or when i have run out of bags i get it from work.

    sticky labels : again from work since they have plenty.

    brown tape: poundland or car boot .

    boxes: for the odd occasion where i need a box to send multiple items i just ask somone at the local car boot or a local store

    Oh and if i can i try to recycle all jiffy bags and postal bags and boxes i get from ordering stuff online,

    I use laminate flooring underlay (spongy business on a roll) about 15 metres for a fiver and it is as light as a feather, then lining wallpaper on top - pretty thick and durable, and again about 99p a roll.
