Sweet thanks Do you know though, where to find these bags, if I were to buy in bulk? I cant seem to find them.
You don't plan to ship via USPS? You get free packaging supplies that way, and it's pretty inexpensive to ship cross country ($3.85 for 2-3 day Priority Mail).
That seems quite a lot of money just to ship a baby tee tho, it would cost me just 26p over here, the price of a first class stamp (plus you packaging of course).
What's the standard airmail service in the US?

Yeah, there are lower rates than Priority Mail.
First class mail would probably be cheaper for mailing just one baby t-shirt, but at the same time, I find that paying a little extra for Priority Mail can:
1) Get it there a bit faster
2) Give you free packaging materials
3) Give you free delivery confirmation/tracking so I can know when the package gets there.
It probably would be around a $1 to ship via First Class mail.
To this point I have shipped using USPS media boxes (the vhs mailers) at $3.85 for a single shirt shipment. It is costing me nothing in packing materials. We charge $3.95 for as many shirts as you buy so sometimes we are eating a small amount of shipping charges in good faith for multi shirt orders. I have considered going with large envelopes at regular rate which would cut our shipping costs in half but I have heard stories about people getting shipments that came in soft envelopes where they were torn, the merchandise was damaged, etc. Any thoughts on the pros or cons of shipping in soft materials. I know that when I ship in a box it gets there in one piece.
I thought these envelopes we are discussing and i quote "indestructable".
Says they are tear proof!
Im looking for the cheapest, safest, lightest envelope I can get.
The package envelopes that are available at the PO are sometimes quite heavy and you end up paying more for the weight of the envelope rather than the product.
I will be shipping mainly to the UK so Priority Mail isnt really any use to me at the moment. I think first class mail with signature confirmation is the route ill be taking.
Found these 100 for 17 bucks, not too shabby. Plain white too, I hate fussy packaging that has loads of nasty graphics all over it.
Also, if anyone has any fabulous ideas on how to package my little baby tee's, gift wrap stylee that would be great too. Being a girl I want my tee to arrive nice and pretty hehe.
Ive been looking at patterned pick and mix bags, you know the bags for candy, they are kinda cute and cost effective too. Any thoughts?
