Bubblewrap on eBay << which supplier

WLM21

Where do folk here buy bubblewrap from on eBay.

The last time I purchased bubblewrap (500mm x 100) was last year and was about to buy again from the same supplier

However, I see the seller has quite a lot of negative feedback with buyers stating the 100m rolls were often sold short, as low as 50m. It's not the odd one, it is several such comments.

Yres, their price was cheap, but if they are only sending half the expected size, it's hardly a bargain.

And, I'm not going to go to the bother of trying to measure 100m

There is a number of videos on YouTube about bubble wrap rolls being short.

I would trust globe packing or macro packaging not to diddle you.

soolin has commented on this in the past as a regular bubble wrap buyer. Maybe she will be along soon to comment.

Thank you. I’m currently away and don’t have full access to my buying account , but after a bit of searching g through emails this looks like the shop I’ve been buying from recently.

I have never measured the roll though, so can’t guarantee whether I always get the full amount. They do often offer vouchers as well, so I’ve had some bargains from them, which is good as I’m quite a heavy user of bubble wrap.

Also I don’t think they always use the same supplier, I bought 2 lots last year, about 2 weeks apart , one roll was really good, the other felt slightly thinner and cheaper. I’ve had another roll since which was back to being very good. However, I am not loyal to one seller,if I find a recommendation for a better one I never stay loyal and will always swap.

OP here

Thank you for your replies

In the end I opted for Cloud Packaging on eBay

I see from the feedback there are some similar negative comments for this site, about getting less than expected.

I've actually ordered some 50m rolls .. I might try and measure at least one of them when it arrives

I switched to Globe, as was fed up of doing the refund Dance with Shop Zone. Their 100m was measuring out at c. 45m. (Multiple orders). Impressed with Globe. Works out 10p per metre bulk buy.

I don't buy bubble wrap but do buy bubble bags. I don't usually buy from Ebay but was running low and needed a top up before.a bigger purchase.
I used these, their pricing was competitive and next day delivery, products were as good as my usual supplier. I'll probably use them again and I'm hard to please!

i buy mine from the big bootsales in essex dunton sundays or marks tey wednesday / £10 for a 100m roll

for 500mm wide bubble wrap

i see at least 3 stationary sellers over these bootsales selling bubble wrap in bulk and must be similar at the bootsales all over the country albeit it is a march to october window so you need to buy in excess

Arrived a couple of days ago

Nothing special really, basically the same as other bubblewrap I've had

I haven't measured the length, so I just have to assume I got 50m rolls.

4 '50m rolls came to £25.56. and postage was free
