Just in another thread mentioned to metallica about buying padded bags in bulk.
So post here good posting tips/costs etc. I'd very interested to here from those of you sending a lot of stuff to the US.
Anyway (these costs may have gone up I know Aust.Post had a price rise in the last month or so)
PADDED BAGS
Padded bags can be bought over the counter for 90 cents each. OR you can buy a box of 100 for $36 (36 cents each). Thats a saving of $54 for the 100. I just stash the box of them away in a cupboard and use them as I need them.
Postage Costs
This info has come from another site i use so use this as a reference point only.
Large Letters (360mm X 260mm X 20mm)
- Size 1 Padded Bag
- Can fit a max of 8 discs in CD sleeves to pass as large letter
- Up to 125g = $1.00
- Up to 250g = $1.45
- Up to 500g = $2.45
and to give a rough idea/reference point
- Size 1 Padded Bag ($0.90 or $0.36)
- Up to 5 discs (111g) = $1.00
- Up to 8 discs (171g) = $1.45
Again use this as guidelines only and prices may have risen recently
