Please can I have your opinions on recycled packaging

Henry_Hoover_2

I just wanted to add that I bought something off ebay once, which arrived in a cardboard burger box, the ones that frozen burgers come in.

I wasn't very happy.. I'm vegetarian, and the box really did smell horrible.

However, as long as the packaging is clean (i.e not been used for food etc) and protects the item, I wouldn't mind at all.

OMG That is really horrible.

You know, I just checked this and it's actually 4.9

Mines 4.9 too and I charge as little as possible for p&p.

I use anything, shoe boxes, washing tablet boxes etc.

However, my rating is 5 and most of the time I use Lidls thick black bags, I don't open them just use them as a piece of wrapping paper with sellotape. They cost 14p per bag.

Using recycled packaging is fine if you are not charging for it.

I remember paying £20 for delivery of 14 boys tops (bundle) once on ebay when I was quite new. It took 14 days to get here and cost her about £4. It was wrapped in a bin bag that the council give you as well. As she didn't state how she was going to post it, I expected a van the next day.

She isn't on ebay anymore thankfully.

thats postage, packaging and fees... im sure some people think this when doing there prices and adding that extra little bit on

custardy

must have been an impressive listing to generate £16 in fee's

And I bet your star rating for P&P still is not a full 5 out of 5?!

I am offering free postage and posting the morning after payment made but still not 5 out of 5 for p&p:D

You could at least have delivered it by hand wrapped in gold cloth.

... its whether Mrs Smith minds getting her designer dress in a baby's nappy bag.

Hmm...now for something like this it may be a little different. If it was kids clothes or something a little cheaper or basic then yes. A designer dress - I'd still recycle packaging but use something a little more appropriate eg a carrier from a high street clothing store. The more upmarket the better. (I save House of Fraser, John Lewis, Selfridges type bags for more 'expensive' items - they just seem more fitting.)

Thank you jasmine thats just what I was worrying about. Its not just the recycling, its whether the "nappy bag" is appropriate for a designer item that someone has spent a relatively large amount of money on, despite postage cost.
