AVOID "Free USPS" supplies... yes, I said AVOID FREE SUPPLIES... it sounds silly but this supplies (shown below)

actually costs MORE to ship using "free" supplies than it does to purchase your own supplies!

BUY THIS (100pc 10x13" awesome bags for under $16 on Amazon):

OR, if you don't care about fun patters, you can get 200 plain bags for the same price:

Or, if you want smaller sized bags, I would suggest going with 6x9" bags. Again, you can opt for fun colors or solid bags. The solid bags are 1,000 bags for under $27!

Or, you can go for the fun bags which are 100 pieces for around $9.

There is also another poly mailer option you can consider. These are 6x9 printed BUBBLE mailers:

The striped "Thank You" bag is a little more expensive because it's amazing. These specific bags will run you around $19 for 50 pieces BUT they are legitimately gorgeous, memorable bags. However there are cheaper options that are still colorful. These purple 6x9 padded mailers are only $14.99 for 50 pieces.

PRODUCTS TO AVOID

Although these are GREAT items, they do not ship cheap. So if your goal is to ship First Class you should consider avoiding these items:

Jean sets (a 2 pack of older kids Jean's will not weigh under 15oz. However baby or toddler Jean sets are fine!)
Coat sets - unless you can get sets that have very light or small coats the coat can max out the First Class weight.
Older kids tennis shoes or boots
Avoid hangers that cannot be removed from the merchandise
Stuff that comes in big boxes, such as large lego sets
Anything that requires extreme packaging, added insurance and signature confirmation. Adding all of these things will drive up shipping cost at least $6 more!
Even though it does ship first class, high end electronics are super risky. Xbox, iPhones, ps4, etc are a commonly hit by scammers. These high risk items can end in disaster that might not be worth it. We can discuss scams more in future blogs.
Merchandise that must be sold inside of a box, such as a gift set, shoe box, etc.
