Brystheguy 237 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 20 minutes ago, outatime said: Hi Guys Sold a bunch of Ecto1's on eBay, just shipping via ebay and getting costs of $16 to UT, AK and other states, I have never sold much before but does this cost seem about normal? Looking at the list of box sizes nothing really covers the size so I its chosen custom size. Box size is about 2lb 4 x 8 x 13. Thank you After getting burned a couple times with "Free Shipping" to Alaska, I excluded them and Hawaii from my buyer's list. I'm Midwest and most of my stuff goes to the coasts, so my costs are fairly predictable no matter which direction it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fuzzy_bricks 2,996 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 My favorite tape, HP260, is $3 bucks off at Amazon, not a huge deal but it doesn't seem to go on sale often. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XJOBUS/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Measure that side, it wouldn't hurt to give you an extra 1/2" or so clearance/padding. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bartat 14 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Ask for recommendations from UK Brickpickers out there for shipping box suppliers. Local supplier I have used has gone bust and I'm looking for someone to supply boxes esp. for medium and large sets. I've trawled the forums here but could not find a recent recommendation. Struggling to find 20 x 16 x 4, 24 x 16 x 4 or 28 x 20 x 8 boxes (all sizes in inches) for a reasonable price. Finding suppliers for smaller boxes is OK but these sizes are eluding me. Tried Kite packaging and Raja but not happy with their selection / price unless I'm being too picky. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Groovejet 12 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Always difficult to find the larger boxes. Not perfect sizing but pretty good on price: https://www.propackaging.co.uk Otherwise have heard good things about getting custom made boxes here: https://www.ascdirect.co.uk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure how good Uline would be once you add shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's called the LEGO store. Find out the day that they receive trucks and stock. Ask them to let you have the shipping boxes for those sets. Break them down and rebuild them when needed. My store was always happy to save me boxes IF I picked them up the same day that they emptied them. Assuming that you live close to a store, it never hurts to build up a good relationship with the LEGO employees. I lived 70 miles away from my closest store and still had an excellent relationship with them. Then, they closed the store down and now the nearest store is 135 miles away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Belac 522 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 So I've gotten a few BL orders that being multiple set orders are pushing my box sizes to ship together. So my preemptive question is what do I do shipping wise through PayPal if can't fit them all in one box. This may be something answered easily when It does happen, but if not I was just looking for some expert advise. Thanks in advance:) +Caleb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
