So the 20" wide box is too narrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkalin Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I keep 26 x 20 x 6, 26 x 20 x 4 and also a small stock of bigger 24 x 24 x 8. Those seem to work for 99% of the big sets. And recently I've picked up some 20 x 15 x 6 good for the big porsche, bugatti and slave 1. Edited August 10, 2020 by Gonkalin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown Diner is 15"'s wide I believe. so my current set of 24x16x4/6 works just fine. now that Barracuda Bay, Nintendo, Tree House, Corner Garage are 19"'s wide i'm looking for a new size box for these bigger sets. Rough measure of the box puts them at: 23x19x5. So thinking a 24x20x6 so there is some space for bubble wrap/paper to protect corners and sides. I was just wondering if folks had a line on that size box and where to get it. 1 hour ago, Gonkalin said: I keep 26 x 20 x 6 that seems like a good one, maybe a tad bit too long, but mind sharing where you get it from?

stackables Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Contemplating getting a label printer. I don't do a lot of selling but I do trade minifigures. What printer do most use? Should I go with a printer that can do 4x6 or are the much cheaper 2/7s fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine in December of 2017, still going strong and I use it daily. The labels are $20 for 500, which isn't bad either considering the time it saves.

Uses no ink, you save on tape, paper, and time(!) cutting and taping a paper label to a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackables Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Is there any good sites that help you calculate shipping between services? I know ebay has something but I am selling outside of ebay. Need to ship a large package and don't want to spend $52 to ship it to CA.

So my trusty wireless printer just died. Seams to be the power supply on the Old Canon pixma MG5420. Was really contemplating the mentioned Rollo for my shipping needs, but i need to also print full size and like to print photos. So for now I need equivalent replacement or better. Anyone have a recommendation to consider in my search? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s what I use to calculate shipping for bricklink orders. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
