Cheap Padded Envelopes

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.
Always re-use mine, never had any problems doing so, best way to save money and been enviromentally friendly at the same time ^_^.0 -
i have noticed that there are some freebies on Freecycle.Our local one has a few people giving loads of jiffys away as they ordered a lot from amazon over xmas!

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.
I always try to make my P&P charges as cheap as possible anyway. I sometimes use recycled jiffy bags. I used to sell loads on ebay, so when I stopped I had loads left over! I saved these (about a year or so), and used them in my recent ebay sell!
I used to get them from cheap shops, like Wilkinsons, Home Bargains, pound shops.etc0 -
or you can get FREE bubble wrap from supermarkets when you see them stocking the fruit n veg isle up, ask them if your aloud to take the bubble wrap that comes in the apples etc. they never said no to me0
