Mailing Tips

Hello all,

I need to mail some packages, and I would like to know what you all
use to get your beads where they need to go.

I haven't had too much luck sending by ground, packages tend to get
beat up that way.

I figured I thought I would ask all of you BEFORE I send it, as to
save me some headache.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Vedis, we'd need more info. What country are you in, first? Where are you
sending to?

D'oh.

Sorry.

I am in IL, sending to...well....anywhere in the USA really. No
overseas shipping yet.

Thanks!

Oh, yes, definitely. For shipping small stuff, padded mailers are great.
Small boxes are wonderful too, and not really much more expensive.

I agree with those here. I have a padded envelope. I wrap my beads in more
bubble wrap, then put them in the envelope and the mail 1st class. I also
have some small boxes and have been known to do bead in box, box in
envelope.

Yep, that's how I ship beads. Delivery confirmation from the USPS makes
things easy to track, also, and is inexpensive.

I prefer recieving in padded envelopes if it is possible. They can go
into my mailbox and therefore the mailman is more likely to leave my
package instead of a note to come pick it up during postoffice hours
which is difficult for me.

This is a "duh" kind of suggestion, but be sure and put an invoice or
something inside of the package so in case the address on the outside is
ruined or unreadable, the shipper can open the package and send it either
back to you or where it is supposed to go.
I worked for the post office for years and you would be surprised how many
things get sent to dead letter for that reason.
