Shipping 12x12 Paper and Scrapbooks

[momof2girls]

Does anyone know the cheapest way to ship 12x12 paper and scrapbooks?

I have a lot of paper and scrapbooks that I want to sell but Im not sure how to ship them.

Good question! I'd like to know as well.

I would think a flat rate priority mail box? one size is $9.80 and one is $13....something. You can fit a lot in these boxes and it all goes for the same amount no matter the weight.

Yeah I tried that but the scrapbooks dont fit

Most office supply stores sell cardboard boxes so you should be able to find a size with dimensions to accommodate your stuff. If the sides are too high, they can be cut down (saves on weight therefore expenses and causes less shifting during transit.)

If it is just paper, there are bubble envelopes that have sufficient inner dimensions (I use cardboard on both sides of the paper for added stability.)

pizza boxes work great - you can also send them priority but not at the flat rate price - but the papers fit in great!

The priority flat rate storage boxes work. I do it all the time. What you have to do is "smoosh the middle section (longer side) so it expands just a little bit and just that tiny bit of room is all you need. I usually protect the corners for my buyers by bubble wrapping or what PTI did was fold some cardboard over the corners. I also like to saran wrap all the papers together.

Thanks for all the input.

The 12 x 12 should fit diagonally...I have shipped them in the long flat rate boxes before..I just put newspaper or bubble wrap on top and underneath to support is safely in the box. Good luck.
