question for sellers..

mich_city

Can anyone recommend a seller for jiffy bags, bubble wrap etc?.. costing me a fortune getting them from the post office.. I know there are loads of auctions for them on eBay, just thought I'd ask if anyone uses a reliable seller for these items?

Thanks!

not sure about jiffy bags..but you can get bubble wrap a bit cheaper from garden centres...they sell in on a huge carpet sized roll and you just tell them how many metres you want to buy. I think this must be the most economic way. Also, cos the width is so wide, it's easier to cut just the right size you need, without wasting any.

I have bought both items recently.

For bubble wrap try sierra0101
For jiffy bags try budpak

Cheap prices, and not had any problems with either seller. Great feedback as well.

You can get bubble wrap for free if you hunt around but I found it was so cheap on EBay I just decided to buy a roll.

I use poundland for my padded jiffy bags. The small size are 10 for a pound, the middle size (suitable for DVDs) are 8 for a pound and the large envelopes are 5 for a pound.

I believe the foamy underlay that you can get for laminate flooring is widely considered a good alternative to bubble wrap. You can buy it from places like B&Q, Homebase, etc. Not sure how it compares on price though.

I also use Poundland and other discount stores. Whenever out shopping in a Disount Shop, I always look to see if they have any, as they could always be cheaper. ALthough they are not Jiffy bags, everybody who has bought from me, has always been happy.

Thanks all.. not had any decent sized envelopes in my nearest poundshop for a while.. all you eBayer's must be beating me to them  ;)

I do occasionally 'swipe' the bubble wrap in Tesco's on the fruit and veg stands, but you do get some very strange looks  :D (asked permission from F&V stackers first, I hasten to add)

Got a load of books on my auction at the moment, just trying to economise as I think I've listed them too low!

when i have sold books, i just wrap them in heavy duty brown paper.

Never had any complaints about the packaging mainly compliments.
