Your shipping routine?

[roaddogg02316]

How do you usually ship your items? Such as what do you use to pack them up, any specific methods you use or products you prefer.

Also does anyone when selling cards use a receipt book? So then you can send the buyer a receipt of their purchase?

I traditionally use a penny sleeve, put that in a top loader, a piece of tape over the top loader, and into a padded envelope. I have never worried about receipts.

I pretty much always use the Duck brand padded envelopes.. Every now and then ill buy some Scotch.

Toploader with a softsleeve and I write on a message to the trader letting them know who the cards are from and what extras I sent,then I put the cards in the piece of looseleaf and wrap and send off in a bubble mailer.

Penny sleeve, toploader, toploader sealed bag (I don't like taping the tops of toploaders), bubble mailer. This should be the standard really. I don't have anymore than 3 or 4 trades going at once so I keep the receipts til they get the cards.

I can't stand when people tape their toploaders. Invest the 1.39 cents into a pack of team bags that will last you for 100 cards. Drives me crazy.

I realize people will do what they want - but I've had to file paypal claims, get refunds, and send trades back for people that ship with tape. Damage is MUCH easier if you ship that way.

My way is simple - although I can use supplies at work - I use sleeve, toploader, team bag then I put the card between a few pieces of folder up paper for thickness then I stick into a small envelope which then goes into the bubble mailer.

I tape my toploaders. Not with clear packing tape, but with that brown, almost like plastic packing tape. I found it is useless taping up a box or anything else. Too easy to peel off. So I use a small piece to cover the end of the toploader. I leave a tab though for easy removal. And this type of tape doesn't cling and attach itself like it is meant to stay on the toploader.

Thanks for the advice, as I am one to tape my toploaders. I basically started doing this when i saw other people doing it. I will see about handling it with team bags from now on.

Im glad this thread is here to learn from each other ;)

+1 I have almost ruined cards trying to get the tape off,tape junkies need to lay off the 3 layers of tape it really is a pain to remove cards when they are shipped this way.
