SLL Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 On 7/20/2019 at 5:52 PM, stackables said: It is literally cheaper to ship to separate boxes than combine into one package. Fedex looks to be a lot cheaper but I have never used them to ship before. Check that about fedex, they just give me a huge discount but the buyer would still pay a lot. I used fedex a lot, never had an issue. In your case, you may want to take a look at fedex smartpost. The downside of using it is it typically takes a lot longer than the normal service, but in most cases, the package should be delivered in 7 days.

isocleas Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Quote I decided I'm going to start boxing some of my higher value small sets before sending them in to amazon fba, had too many crushed returns due to amazon being lazy with mailing them in envelopes. I ordered: 14x8x4 10x8x3 8x6x3 5x4x3 If anyone can think of a common small size I missed please let me know. Also I think the 8x6x3's from amazon are a pretty good deal right now at $8.75 for 25ct, free prime shipping for those who are interested: https://www.amazon.com/Partners-Brand-P863-Corrugated-Boxes/dp/B01EN0WC5S/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Partners+Brand+P863+Flat+Corrugated+Boxes%2C+8"L+x+6"W+x+3"H%2C+Kraft+(Pack+of+25)&qid=1566023594&s=gateway&sr=8-1 Edited August 17, 2019 by isocleas Not sure why I was quoting myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I have to ship a package to Canada. I have not done this in a long time. I assume I just go through paypal still. Do I have to sign anything or print a separate customs form? Or is the custom form part of the label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickolodon Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 For what it's worth, I went with the Rollo, https://www.amazon.com/ROLLO-Label-Printer-Commercial-Compatible/dp/B01MA3EYC5, and I've been happy with it. It's compatible with many brands of labels, and even works with Linux. I use chromebook for printing (samsung 2020W) labels so WiFi thermal printer way to go? Which one your recommend?Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isocleas Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Looks like they made some kind of error and have now corrected it. I placed my order at 10am, got an email at 12:30 saying there was an issue with the coupon and they cancelled it. Now all prices are back to retail.

thebrickdad Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Go down to a local trade centre / hardware store / wholesalers and talk nicely to the warehouse supervisor and you can typically get one for free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackables Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I have a shipping question. What would be the best way to ship an old gobot command center. The toy in box is already 18x14x9 and around 5.5lbs. Best box size recommendation and shipping service? Any help would be appreciated.

thebrickdad Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Where ever possible I double box this sort of thing. I'd wrap this in a single layer of large bubble, box it, then wrap that in bubble again to fill out the outer box. 100% damage free shipping.
