Helpful Tip: shipping in bubble mailers

[Collector]

I know that there may still be some members who ship in envelopes, but bubble mailers are always best to use. Not only do they protect your cards better, but it also shows that you care for the protection of your partners cards you're shipping. Most members hate their cards being shipped in envelopes, because their cards can easily get damaged. Some members will actually leave negative feedback if their cards are shipped in envelopes. Trust me, it will make it much better if bubble mailers are used. This way, you most likely won't have any complaints on your shipping. It might also be best if you wrap the cards up in something. Bubble wrap is usually preferred; just wrap the cards up in the bubble wrap, tape it, stick them in the bubble mailer and enclose it. Other things can also be used. Hope this has helped, though. If anyone has anything else to add to this, or has any questions regarding this, then please feel free to post.

Thanks, Collector

You got it pretty well covered

This is how I also package my cards.
1. card
2. penny sleeve
3. top-loader
4. layer of bubble wrap or something close to it wrapped around the cards (as extra protection)
5. placed in bubble envelope or padded enveloped

if you have a bunch of cards...use top loaders top and bottom of the stack of cards. Cards in middle use penny sleeves (or wrap in saran wrap) and tape top and bottom cards around them.

I found this system of sending cards protects the cards very well.

The one thing to remember in sending cards is they are no longer yours , but someone elses property! Do you want to receive good cards? Then take a moment and ensure what your sending stays in the condition you had them in! If you looking to save a few cents in postage maybe stop trading and just be content with what you have. Be considerate to your fellow traders and they will do the same for you.
