cheapest place to buy mailing plastic bags from?

sec79

Hi
Can anyone tell me where the cheapest place to buy plastic mailing bags from please? I am looking for some which are roughly A5 size.

I know you can buy them on ebay, but also wondered which was the cheapest high street shop you can buy them from?

Many thanks

It depends how many you want to buy but I can thoroughly recommend macro packaging, they are on ebay or you can google their website. They are happy to take orders over the phone. I have used them for years they are very friendly, reliable and accomodating if you have any specific requests.

Do people mind if things come wrapped inside bubble wrap and put inside a plastic mailer, rather than a jiffy bag?

I don't care how it comes, so long as it arrives safely in one piece.

I prefer it- it's more waterproof, and because paper is heavier than plastic, it's lighter too (handy when you are on the edge of the next weight class. )

We use nonstop_mum on ebay, but will be using her direct website (cheaper) next time.

Not really sure if they are exceptionally cheap, but we use the unique coloured red ones because they are strong, light, and appropriately couloured for our business.
(Also I get confused when buying stuff like that, so I don't want to shop around once I've found somewhere good. )

I have seen them in Wilkinsons but I didn't take notice of the price.

Thanks for all replies. I have some product samples to sell which if they go in a jiffy bag will be classed as a packet. I'm hoping if they were sent in plastic mailing bags they would be just fit into the large letter size category.

Hopefully they will do, which means I can buy large label stamps in advance, so I have a stock rather than going to the post office each time to send something which is parcel sized. It is pretty annoying you can't buy buy labels in advance for parcel sizes. Work won't let us use our postal department for sending personal items now, before it wasn't a problem.
