  1. I’ve been buying more and more supplies including bubble mailers from Temu. I get packing materials from Temu.
    I try not to ship “breakables” via USPS. They break my stuff everytime.

  2. I also found out this week that if an item is undeliverable for any reason and a return to sender is processed by the USPS, that the sender/seller will have to pay return postage for Ground Advantage shipments. This is not true for Priority Mail, only Ground Advantage. I paid $8.95 to ship and USPS wanted a ransom of almost $12 to get my product back. Still no explanation on why it wasn’t able to be delivered in the first place.

  3. U-haul moving / rental store sells 100′ x 12″ big-bubble wrap
    or
    150′ x 12″ small bubble wrap

    At $20 (at least in NC) per box
    it comes in a nice dispenser-style box.

  4. Here is my tip: I get free bubble wrap in great condition.

    One day at my hair salon/spa, I noticed they received a shipment with bubble wrap, and I asked if I could have it. I explained that I ship as part of my business and could use all sizes. They were happy to see it recycled, and now they save it for me and call every couple of weeks when they have a bag full. I occasionally bring treats for the staff to show my appreciation. I’ve received so much that I am able to share it with other sellers I know.

    It doesn’t have to be a hair salon. Check with any local business that regularly receives shipments. One person I know was able to get bubble wrap from a car dealership, for example.
