I am not sure were this post goes and feel free to delete it.

I was wondering were do yo buy your shipping supplies?

I have not sold any bows yet on artfire or esty, but I am really hoping to soon.

I have sold bottle cap necklaces and those , I use a bubble inside envelope for shipping.

I use the 4x4x4 boxes from www.uline.com (http://www.uline.com) for shipping my bows.And padded envelopes for clippies which you can get from uline again!.:)

You can order free boxes from USPS online and they will deliver to your house. I have heard of some people using ULINE for their shipping supplies also.

I haven't sold anything so I'm not really sure how good ULINE is.

I have heard a lot of people recommend uline, like Vanitha suggested. I haven't used them. When I was in the U.S. and sold my big bows, I was fortunate that my dad worked in the shipping department at his company and I got a lot of used, but in mint condition, boxes.

USPS does send you boxes for free. But the smallest size I found was7*7*7, which I think is too big, and priority shipping is a bit expensive, which scares customer off. I only shipped one item so far, I got 6*6*6 box at local shipping store for $.50 and sent it with first class for $2.35 + .50 for the box, came out 2.85. I charge $2.95 for shipping, because some bows weight a little more. and they have a 4*4*4 boxes for about .35 cents each.
HTH.
