How are you dealing with the high postage costs?
I am curious how everyone is dealing with the high postage costs. I can't get a bubble mailer sent for under $5 these days. Hard to justify a $15-20 BV trade for $5 in postage. Sorta tough to sell a few vintage cards with a $5 plus bubble mailer fee.
Any tips/tricks would be appreciated.
Being a hockey collector, is it still pricey to ship to Canada? I stopped a few years back when those rates skyrocketed.
thanks

Me too.
I just have cut back on trading a ton unless it is high end or for a ton of cards or have moved to PWE trading now. I hate to do it but it is just too costly now to ship in a bubble mailer.*New* Selling All My Cards Here------>Hidden Content

@DaSoxFan
Have you tried the pwe envelope? I have sent a lot of cards via pwe's and usually knock on wood they work out okay with only 2 ever being damaged that I have sent over the years. The savings definitely make the small trades worth it imo.

thanks for the comments and advice. I have been successful with secure PWE trades for team set building. They have become a more accepted shipped method in recent years which has helped.
