Their ok, but they print their company name on each one which i dont like, especially when im ment to be a postal supplier.

Not sure how their Jiffy bag prices compare with other recommendations in this thread, but I use

http://www.e-pack.co.uk/

......... for my 100m Rolls of Bubble-wrap and packing tape.

However, IF anyone has any ideas where I can get it cheaper ... I'm all ears!!!!

Thanks for all the advice. Nearest Pound shop is 40 miles away I'm afraid! https://www.e-pack.co.uk compares with Viking Direct on price it appears.

Found these though (on ebay ironically!! :-[)

Click through to their website though and order from there - 49p cheaper per box ;D

Delivery is £6.95 but if I were to order 3 boxes, I'd save about a fiver compared to Viking Direct (but then I'd miss out on the free herb chopper) ............ decisions, decisions!!!

I've just taken a look at "Postal supplies" and their K7s work out more expensive than I pay for a box of 50 down at my local Stationers. TBH I'd never considered by my envelopes online, but I guess if you don't have a local stationers then this place is good.

They charge 10 K7 £6
I pay 50 K7 £21
I save £9

Hi all, I put this on another mse board......but it may help here - Silver and gold metalic bubble bags are reduced in Wilkinsons stores. I got loads the other day for my ebay stuff......A4 - 2 pence, A5 - 1 pence each

Just a little note to re-users.

I do appreciate that re-used bubble bags are good enviromentally, but, they look very un-professional when they land on your customers door-mat.

Also, your customer pays a postage and packing charge - if you're going to re-use packing materials, please make sure your p&p reflects that, ie make it cheap.

I know that will make me unpopular, but 30+ % of my feedback comments on good packaging.

True. I've seen people get neg. feedback before because buyers have felt ripped off that they've paid packing and got a recycled envelope.

If you're going to do it, make P&P cheap enough that people haven't got grounds for complaint.

Everytime I order from them I am even more impressed than the previous time - the empire they have built up is quite amazing (you can watch vids n stuff about them on eBay)

Very cheap prices too - highly recommended
