I will keep you all on the list. I imagine that the ordering period will be open for about 2 weeks longer. Thank you for hte support in this process!!! Quote Link to comment
+slumbersix Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I might consider getting one or two, but I'm not sure just yet(Have to ok it with the wife). Quote Link to comment
+Opticsboy Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hey guys, Can you please reccomend the best way to ship these coins economically. I want to go price out the shipping options so that I can give an accurate shipping cost for the payment stage of this process. Please rocomend shipping containers (Envelope, Padded Envelope, box, ammo can, etc) as well as method (first class mail, priority mail, UPS, FEDEX, DHL, teleportation...) Thanks in advance. Steve, Opticsboy Quote Link to comment
+Kilted Cacher Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) I bought 100 bubble mailers (4 x 8) from ebay for $8.95 plus shipping which was around $7.50 so the total was around $17.00 and they arrived in about 2 days. That's $0.17 a mailer, not bad. As far as postage goes, I would just have the post office weigh it with one coin and two coins and then buy several shipping labels for each with the exact cost of shipping. As for the packing material. you can be creative and use whatever you want as long as it keeps the cost down. I figured I could mail one coin for under $1.00 total which isn't bad.

+donbadabon Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I prefer to use CD-mailers, as they are really sturdy. But they are more expensive than regular mailers. Padded envelopes work great too. Whatever method you choose, I would recommend using an index card to tape your coins to. That keeps them from moving around inside the envelope, and also helps keep people from feeling the envelope and noticing there is a coin inside. As far as shipping, when I ship out one coin, just regular first class, it is .83 But when I use delivery confirmation, it must be shipped Priority mail, and that works out to a little over $2.35 for one coin. I don't choose the insurance option. The most I can ship in one envelope has been 6 coins. Shipping and tracking will be your biggest hassle. You may want to set aside a specific day of the week to make your Post Office runs. If not, you will be going every day. Looking forward to seeing these coins hit the streets! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I did the same thing kilted cacher did. My mailers worked out to about 21 cents a piece tho with the shipping to me. Still a good deal. I also need to line up a trade for one of your Opticsboy coins. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I've used hte bubble mailers and taped the coins (which were wrapped in newspapwer from Sissy when she shipped them) to index cards. Two coins were under a buck from the post office. WalMark has cheap bubble mailers though not as good a deal as eBay. For your own protection I'd probably consider tracking the coins unless you are perfectly happy sending them FOB your office. (Buyer assumes the risk of Shipping loss). Then it's up to the buyer to specify tracking and insurance if they want it. Quote Link to comment
+GeoCrickets Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Go to this place http://www.mailersandmore.com/index.php . You can get 100 4 x 8 mailers for 4.49 plus shipping and when you sing up you get a e-Gift Voucher worth $3.00. Richard Quote Link to comment
