Thanks mrscmr, you made me laugh!

Congratulations JesaRose, another person taking the big plunge into married life!
It's the best thing I have ever done. I get looked after very well.

Well I have two buyers who have not paid. One bought two items and I wrapped them together and sorted out a reduced postage for her. It makes me mad :eek:

Right I'm off to get some magazine listing done and get rid of those piles. :rotfl:

Just been to the shop to get brown paper £1.49 a roll but down town it only 59p!!! Im in shock at the price differents.

Yes, its very cheap isn't it.
I am loving brown paper right now,
i use to buy the plastic mailing sacks,
decided they were really a waste of money.

I hope you stocked up & brought a few rolls:p

Lexx i just bought some plastic mailing bags from ebay... do u think they not the best option? im still finding my feet with packaging and want to know what other people use.

Lexxx

well most of the stuff i sell mrscmr are clothes and they are lightweight stuff shirts, skirts etc....and for only 99p, so the brown paper works out great, it 99p for 10metres, shoes, coat heavier items go into the mailing bags.
the mailing bags were about £3-£4 for 25-30...cheaper if you buy more.

the mailing bags are easy & quicker, no glue or tape needed.

i think you pay for the convience,also reuseable for others

brown paper is a alot cheaper, but more hassle to wrap, and the way i tape and glue it up, not sure how reusable it will be:rotfl:to others.

hope that helps

I buy most of my packing materials from Poundland. I use dark blue rubble sacks for mailing bags - a roll of 8 or 10 (depending on which type) is only £1. I wrap clothes in bubble wrap and then put them in these.

Padded envelopes are a great buy there too - 6 large or 8 small for £1.

Tesco were doing some really cheap rolls of brown paper recently - £1 for 15 metres.

I have done 5 listings this evening - very pleased with myself

Lexxx

cant beat poundland, or 99p shops:T

i will definately check out tescos for brown paper when i am there next

loving using the dark blue rubble sacks for mailing bags Jessarose.:p


do you cut them up?

JesaRose

Yep, one sack usually does two parcels - how MSE is that!
