where do you buy your packaging material from?

Ebay bubble wrap and tesco bin bags. Bin bags are amazing when cut open. They are massive. I then wrap up with tape and pull tight. Bingo

A lot of us on here are business sellers so I think we may be a bit beyond rigging something up with a bin bag.

A good smart mailing bag of some description is much better professionally and when packing in bulk a lot easier.

I am too, top rated and all that but I was only mentioning a cheap way for the seller who is not "big time" 50p gets you dozens of the bags and when they are used neatly, they look dead on. I tell people that and they all give me a look but once you see it for yourself, they are fine

I buy from AllPack Sollutions, either on their website or their eBay store, as I really like the quality and the bright coloured mailers, as they don't suffer the smokey mailer smell. https://www.allpacksolutions.co.uk

If you are buying in smaller quantity their eBay store is better as P&P isn't as high.

Ever since you told me about those bags I have been quite addicted. I saw someone in the delivery office the other day with everything in the pale pink bags and I am half tempted to buy those as I don't have any pink ones, but I don't need them......

I do this too, it's so cheap and exactly the same as the plastic bag mailers mail order companies use - it's all in the wrapping method as you say!

What I am have trouble finding is good quality parcel tape - anyone?

Mayday

Can anybody recommend a good bubble wrap supplier? I always buy it in big rolls from ebay, but I'm tired of getting the cheap rubbish when I'm paying a decent price!

I get mine from the fruit and veg boxes on the produce aisle at Tesco - if it's not taken, it goes in the rubbish compacter.

p.s. get all my jiffy bags in all sizes via Freecycle - got 2 bin bags worth last time - all clean and re-useable.
