Another vote for rubble sacks if you really can't stretch to a proper mailing bag. They can smell a bit funny though.
And just to say, for those advocating wrapping all over in brown tape - that's good for ensuring that it doesn't split, but if you over-do it, it can actually end up delaying your parcel because all-over-shiny can mean it doesn't pass through the automated mail system properly and ends up needing "manual handling".They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0 -
my local pound shop sells the mailing bags at 10 for £1. Also adaprting supermarket bags for life work very well as wellMad Mum to 3 wonderful children, 2 foster kittens and 2 big fat cats that never made it to a new home!
Aiming to loose 56 pounds this year. Total to date 44.5 pounds 12.5 to go. Slimming World Rocks!0 -
I saw someone sending a large parcel loosely wrapped in brown paper and tied loosely with string, going internationally. I'd hope the Post Office didn't accept it, I didn't hang around to find out. I'm sure some people think that their parcels get personally accompanied all the way by a nice postman.and enjoy their items floating around RMs system in various states of destruction?.0
