View Full Version : What should I do with my 100s of extra bubble mailers?
reoddai 03-07-2009, 12:19 PM Spring cleaning is just around the corner. I've got two full shelves of extra bubble mailers. When you're a set collector who trades for insert and then sends out sets, you tend to accumulate these things.
So what should I do with them?
It seems a waste to recycle them, but I'm not sure if the salvation army would accept a donation.
Shipping them has to be done by the box since its not economical to ship one at a time.
Any advice on what you do with your extras would be welcome! If someone needs some, please contact me! Can be had on the cheap!
Have about 2/3 'small sized' - 12x18 cm (~4.5x7 inches)
and 1/3 'medium sized' - 17x23cm (~7x9 inches)
My breakdown:
1/4 heavily used, 1/2 partially used, 1/4 basically new
Heavily used = full of stamps, paper, customs forms
Partially used = odd stamp or sticker, some writing
Lightly use = light writing, or clear, stamps or stickers removed
xnamyeknomx 03-07-2009, 12:20 PM are they used or new?

Same here. Don't really like getting used bubble mailers. Throw used ones out. I bought 300 Bubble mailers for $70 CDN on ebay so I have huge stock of brand new ones.
doniceage 03-07-2009, 02:26 PM Well looks like you have a member willing to pay for the shipping there you go.

Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. Its the motto of the new millennium.
In any case, for those wondering, I can fit:
20 medium sized bubble mailers (17x23cm (~7x9 inches)) and
40 small bubble mailers (12x18 cm (~4.5x7 inches))
in a box for 11.15 CAN (5.4 mailers / 1$). (which is the s/h)
MatsSundin13Rocks makes a good point, he can get new ones for a good deal (4.3 mailers / 1$). With Three different sizes
Of course, to the savy SCF trader who both buys, sells and trades, re-using means infinite mailers for free :winking0071:

I got a 100 of each of 3 different sizes and the price included shipping for the 300.
cnshockey 03-07-2009, 05:50 PM I reuse. I used to have new ones but im out. Reusing is smart for the environment. And its not like i'm sending in a terribly damaged mailer. all about being smart with what you have

YOU BET! I use old ones, it's greener. Hey, I can use the almost new ones, pm me please.

I never reuse bubble mailers either, they aren't very expensive and I just have this thing about sending out a used bubble mailer.
I know it's not earth friendly but I just can't bring myself to do it. I feel I do enough other "green" things to offset not reusing bubble mailers anyway.
Inferno 03-10-2009, 01:30 AM I always send in new bubble mailers, but my father sells on eBay quite often so I give him the used ones I get and he uses them whenever.
reoddai 03-10-2009, 01:31 PM Would anyone in Canada be interested in some?
Canada post says I can send something weighing 3 kg in a 40x40x40cm box for 16$ CAN in Ontario.
If I can pack them that tight, 3 kg would be something like 180 envelopes for 16$ CAN, or 11 envelopes for a 1$.
If you want a quote specific to your postal code, please send me a PM.
Cheers,
reoddai
reoddai 03-19-2009, 09:44 PM STill got lots of envelopes to send...

Depends on how bad the mailer is when you get it - sometimes it's all dirty, it was already re-used before, etc.
