    I use a new tesco (or any other supermarket) longlife bag , strong and cheap. I some times turn inside out but it then looses some of its capacity I staple to close and brown tape well, then tape the delivery address in a polypocket.
    No complaints so far, dont sell jeans but bedding clothes etc. lots of satisfied customers.

    I use rubble sacks from the pound shop. 8 for £1.00 and cut the bag down a bit in size and seal them with packing tape.

    Yes, rubble bags make a great substitute if you don't need many.
    (Got mine from Aldi when they were on offer, came in a similar blue colour - I find the PoundLand ones too thin, more like quality bin bags)

    If you need a lot, it's cheaper to buy the proper postal / mailing bags as sold by many on ebay.
