how best to post bulky item?

oysterman

I have to post a large sleeping bag. Its not heavy but quite bulky, had a look on ebay for plastic mailing bags but can't seem to find any that are big enough. Where can i buy a bag big enough?

Anyone with ideas how best to go about it.

Try ebay again as I bought some Kanagaroo sacks there that are huge, you could get a king size duvet in one (should you have a mind to!)

Although for a single item some clever packing with a rubble bag or such like might be easier and will keep postage costs down.

For lightweight non breakable, bulky items i use 3 - 4 large black bin liners and a load of cellotape. Never had anything turn up with ripped packaging yet

You can buy those bags which you but duvets in and then hover- it makes them flat. You could try that if it isnt too heavy and expensive.
But i would squash down and send in a bin bag or 6!
