+Evil Chicken Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) I know that not long ago, someone had posted a link to a site that sold bubble mailers fairly reasonably. Can anyone direct me to that thread or link or have suggestions (besides e$%^) for places that carry low priced bubble mailers? Thanks!

+AtlantaGal Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) I bought mine by the case at a place called ULINE. They have a website (www.uline.com) and ship. But I think the key to saving $ was being able to pick up my order in person. A case (250) of 6x8 was $37 14.8 cents each. Edited January 6, 2006 by AtlantaGal Quote Link to comment
+nielsenc Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I bought my last batch from http://www.altusmarket.com/index.php. They seem to be the cheapest. I dont know if this is outside the guidelines for this forum. If so, I will delete my post. nielsenc Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I bought 10 at Wal-Mart for about 45¢ each, then recycled all the ones that come to me in trades. Haven't bought another since... Quote Link to comment
+Mauison Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I usually get mine on eBay, comes out to around 22 cents each with shipping. Just check the various auctions to find the best deal. And don't forget the shipping charges. Quote Link to comment

+Go JayBee Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 You know...I get mine from from that OD place and the S place. They are not that expensive...plus you get to see what you are buying before you pay. Some of those really cheap mailers are not worth the breath it takes to name them........they will fail. I figure that 35 to 40 cents each is not too much to spend if you want to make sure your package gets delivered intact. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Mailers And More I seem to remember my price at this site was lower than anything I read earlier in this thread. Quote Link to comment
+Blind Avocado Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I second that for Mailers and More. I just placed my second order with them. The mailers are well made, you can get 50 at a time instead of 500 and including shipping they are still about 10 cents apiece. Quote Link to comment
Jake - Team A.I. Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I picked up my stash at Paper Plus. They have them for $0.25, but when I bought 40, they got marked down to $0.22. Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I just compared mailers and more with altusmarket and it seems that altus market is a lot cheaper (once you add in shipping) if you don't mind buying in bigger amounts. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I second that for Mailers and More. I just placed my second order with them. The mailers are well made, you can get 50 at a time instead of 500 and including shipping they are still about 10 cents apiece. When I added it up, it seemed more like 0.22 each. Maybe I was looking at something different. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+Damenace Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Can we please add this thread to the "Newcomer's Guide To Coin Collecting. " that is pinned at the top of the page. This is some very helpful infomation that keeps getting lost in the numerous pages of threads. Does anyone know the time frame for getting the "search" option up and running?? Quote Link to comment

+Blind Avocado Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 You're right, My head is a little clouded because I have been sick. I get the mini mailers for 3.99 plus 6.00 shipping which is .20 ea. Still better then the .45 ea I was paing at Wal mart. Quote Link to comment
+Team Sand Dollar Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) I've been going to Sams. Maybe not the cheapest but quick. $4.58 with Tax for 25 or about .19 each for the #0 mailers. Team Sand Dollar Edited January 6, 2006 by Team Sand Dollar Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I've ben going to Sams. Maybe not the cheapest but quick. $4.58 with Tax for 25 or about .19 each. Team Sand Dollar That's a sweet price, considering you don't have to wait for them and the quantity is small. The cheap price at altusmarket in the link above for #0 mailers is for an order of 200, includes free shipping and comes out to 15.25 cents each. Are there any places cheaper? You could always go in with someone else local and split a big order. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+SunshineGang Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 (edited) we went to www.mailersandmore.com and have been happy with them. the min mailers work good when shipping one two coins but we use the 4x8 size for larger orders. Also if you are shipping international make sure you get 4x8 size or bigger given you will need room for the customs form Edited January 6, 2006 by SunshineGang Quote Link to comment

My order came in the mail within 4 days. I bought 150 for = $11.97 3 boxes shipped = $12.00 Total = $23.97 that comes to 16 cents each. First time ordering? they send you a coupon for your next order cheaper. Edited January 6, 2006 by Team CoyChev Quote Link to comment

My order came in the mail within 4 days. A 300 pack of bubble mailers at altus market is only $31.50 (10.5 cents each) and thats with free shipping. That's less than half price of the 4x8 at Mailers and More (22 cents each). Not sure why everyone goes with twice the price. Just because you can order in smaller quantities? --Marky Edited January 6, 2006 by Marky Quote Link to comment

For $7.53 more you could have had 300 instead of 150. Okay, I think I've said enough on this subject. Can everyone tell I like playing with numbers? --Marky Quote Link to comment

I get the mini mailers for 3.99 plus 6.00 shipping which is .20 ea. Still better then the .45 ea I was paing at Wal mart. Mailers and more used to be the cheapest, but the recently raised their shipping rates. I'm a little miffed right now because I ordered some on e*** and requested an invoice because I was down to my last ten and the mailers and more prices had gone up, I still don't have the invoice so I can't pay yet. I need more envelopes to ship some incoming trade coins and my personals will be here in a few weeks. I guess I migh thive to bite the bullet and buy some at a local store til my e*** ones get here. grrrr............. Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I just packaged up a coin in an envelope that I recieved a coin in. It had be re-used at least once before. Pretty good re-use! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Mailers And More I seem to remember my price at this site was lower than anything I read earlier in this thread. FYI: They're out of business I usually bought from Mailers and more because I could buy in 100 and 50 lots. I went to place an order this morning and their website said they are no longer in business. So I had to call ULINE and buy a whole case, sigh. Quote Link to comment

+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 We just got a case of 300 4"x8" mailers from E Supply Store for 36.05. That works out to roughly .12 each. That is the best price we have found since Mailers & More. They delivered in just a few days also. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I've purchased from auction before, but I like the white Jiffy mailers since the sharpie markers don't bleed on them and they seem a bit thicker/tougher paper. So they're a little more. The case should arrive today and it was $80 and change for 500 #000 size delivered. That's roughly 16 cents each. I was paying about 20 cents each from mailers and more buying in 150 quantity at a time. Quote Link to comment
