store suggestions for bulk mailing supplies (for use with mailing cds, dvds, etc.)???
Hey There;
I'm looking to pick up padded envelopes in the 6" x 9" cd/dvd mailer size, and some larger 9 1/2" x 11" size for larger boxed sets and books.
I have been using the Duck brand mailers that WalMart sells, but I know that I can score them much cheaper getting them in bulk. I'm happy buying 500-1000 of each size above.
Suggestions on good places to get em? I found one place, polylinecorp, that sells them, though shipping added about $120 to the order. (Even after shipping, the price per unit was about 1/2 of what I've been paying at Walmart)
Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm just a private seller/collector, and look forward to answers from similar people rather than employees or advertisers. Thank you!

So for the $120 you would pay in shipping at polylinecorp you could get 20 boxes (500) of the 6X9's or 17 boxes of the #2's

You can get free shipping supplies from the post office through their web site. Shipping is free too, I just had to go pick the stuff up when it came in.

About the cheapest that I have seen is on eBay, 250 6x10 padded envelopes for around $30 shipped (seller id threerb).
I've bought 3 cases from them in the last year. They are well made, but they are a little tight for DVDs. You can't fit anything wider than a single DVD case into them. I have also used them to ship VHS tapes and CDs without any problem.

I used to use the USPS free boxes/envelopes, until I realized I was LOSING money. They do this so you have to use the priority shipping, which is over $2 more than how I ship everything (media/first class). Bubble Mailers are somewhat expensive for the little amount of padding they supply. What I do is buy normal 6x12 envelopes with no padding, they are a lot cheaper that way. I then roll everything in about 5 pieces of newspaper, sometimes put some cardboard in the envelope too for support. This is a whole lot cheaper than putting out the money for prebubbled envelopes.
