    That is such a good idea! I normally buy mine on ebay but will do this in future, a tad cheaper than I normally pay.

  • So with the re-usable bags do u just seal them up? I'll prob go get brown paper from poundland as that's the cheapest option in long run

    The bags seal up, if you used bags for life would have to tape up.

    I would be careful sending clothes in brown paper, I have had a couple of items turn up in ripped packaging when people have sent me clothes in them. It's not something I'd do myself really.

    I'd also watch brown paper not only because a damp parcel can spoil the clothes inside but because brown paper is very heavy. Wrap enough to make a parcel safe and you may well push yourself into the next weight band for postage purposes.

    The plastic sacks are very cheap, I bought mine bulk (several thousand) so only paid an average of 5-6p a bag for clothes size. Even buying smaller amounts will cost you less than 10p a bag and they are tamper proof.
