Which Ebayer sells the cheapest jiffy bags?

Hi all.

Searching through the sea of listings for jiffy bags I am overwhelmed. Can anyone let me know who you use to buy your jiffies from at the cheapest price?

Thanks

  • Best way to find the cheapest would be to compare a bunch of them as it will then show up the P&P charge and a quick bit of maths should solve your problem!
    2p off is still 2p off!

    I've only just started searching in the last couple of days, the cheapest I've found so far is THIS ONE but it still seems expensive to me.

    I've been buying them from Poundland, pack of 10 small and pack of 8 medium for £1 per pack (obviously lol)

    Poundland or the 99p shop is cheaper than ebay. Poundland do 10 small jiffylite bags for £1 and the 99p shop does 12 slightly larger padded envelopes for 99p.

    I've changed to the plastic mailing bags for some of my items as it brings them into a lower postage band and they work out slightly cheaper than the jiffy bags as well. The cheapest seller of those on ebay varies from day to day as they will often undercut the competition temporarily to build up a customer base, so always browse every time you buy as prices change all the time.

    i reused whatever jiffy bags i can

    i also use the plastic bags... they have a very nice added bonus... the blasted posties can't 'accidentally' tear one open to have a look inside before they decide if they want to steal it or not!

    if i have to use a plastic mailer and it's a fragile item then i simply use some of my hoard of bubble wrap (reclaimed from parcels sent to me)

  • I get my Jiffy bags from this guy, for the ones I get it works out at around 15p per Jiffy at poundland, but buying 400 from this guy works out at something like 10.8p per Jiffy.

    He also claims to be the cheapest on ebay, and so far I can't prove him wrong.

  • I have found that Poundland is the cheapest for Jiffy bags unless you want to buy 400 at a time which you can from eBay.

    Yea I used to get mine from poundland at first, but as I sold more I found that guy on ebay is better value. I go through 400 in around 3 months so its worth it for me.

    Does he do the Mail Lite Ref: D/1 cafenervosa?

    I send out books in A4 sized from Viking bought in bulk when there was an offer on, but the books I receive look much better packed in the D/1's

    TIA. :)
