What do you think would be the best way to ship a shirt I sell online and what does it usually cost to do so?
I want the best for the customer but not be so expensive they dont want to order from me.
Thanks
David

We use the poly bag option with Stamps.com to print the labels. You can ship in the US and Canada for about $3 (1 to 2 shirts).

Sorry to jbug in the thread (I had similar question) is 10x12 fit a tshirt perfectly also or 9x12? The bag I link below, do I still need to buy tape to patch it up?

We use the 12 x 15 1/2 Colored Poly Mailer 100/CS. Has a nice self seal and fits within the USPS shipping sizes for regular sized packages.

Uline also has the resealable bags I would use those instead.
No tape needed and it would look more professional than tape.

USPS First Class mail is pretty inexpensive. It costs between $2-3 depending on the weight of the t-shirt.

Here are some threads that talk about where to buy shipping supplies and how to package the items: shipping related topics at T-Shirt Forums

Here's a couple of good ones:

Which Poly Mailer To Use?

Compare Stamps.com and Endicia - First Class 3.09 Really?

I put the shirts in resealable clear bags first, along with little stickers and such, and invoice. I then put that package in a polymailer. I do both usps and ups, and let the customer choose which option they would like.

I know this is a little out of place for this thread, and off topic but... Does anyone know where I could get an invoice template that looks nice and professional...this is literally my first week in business..printed my last shirt last week..things are taking off nicely if they hold momentum.

Thanks for your help.
