What's wrong with black bags! Grrr

Comments

  • How else would you send a 70cm teddy bear? They paid £3.20 when it cost me £4.10. Plus not just one but two black bags

    90p for 2 black bags? No offence but i'd be peed off too, as you can get a roll of between 10 or 50 of them depending on where you shop for £1.

    For large items (well, mainly clothing bundles) i use the blue rubble bags like someone else mentioned. My local shop sells rolls of 5 rubble bags for £2.50 so i charge actual postage price plus 50p for the bag, and then use my own sticky tape free of charge! I buy different sized mail bags from ebay usually for less than £5 for a bundle and they do have a variety of sizes, ideal for smaller items or individual clothing items.
    If google doesn't know it, how should i?
