Didn't know where to post tits but thought this was the best i guess
Ive never shipped much stuff before but im tryin to offload a bunch of games and dvd's ect.
So i plan to use the cheapest shipping method, but what im worried about is what to package them in and how. I really don't want to pay much if anything for box's/envelops as that will cut into my moneyz. I read that envelops suck so im basically left with boxes, but where to get them in the size for a dvd?
I know i could go to a packaging place but they will prolly want a Dollar a box or something stupid like that, ive only been in my local post office a handful of times so i can't really remember what they all have besides bubble envelops and flat rate boxes which im assuming will be far to expensive

post office usually hooks you up with boxes for free, i don't think they charge you, at least with my experience anyway.

yeah USPS priority mail has 8 or so different size boxes that are free. It's pretty cheap and gets there in 2-3 days for continental US.

the cheapest way for dvds would probably be media mail from the usps, but i think that is an envelope, otherwise you can use the free usps flatrate boxes like the posters above me said. (you can look up the flatrates online www.usps.com )

if you are just shipping dvd's and games, you can actually mail them for really cheap!
there is a class of mail just for media (beacuse books and stuff are prohibitedly heavy).

Really cheap
