Posting a lot of clothes to one buyer ?? best way suggestions

[beez*kneez]

hi, a buyer has recently bought quite a few clothing items from me , some ver bulky eg jumpers, jackets etc ..

she said i couldstuff & crush them as much as i wanted & use a beer carton .. thing is i explained its not the packaging a/post

goes by the weight & dimensions of the package ..

i squashed them into a large satchel i recd from target just to have them weighed ..they came to just 5kgs with the post office mans finger supporting the bag ! :)) but they wont fit into a 5kg satchel ! .. i havent sent the invoice yet as she knows im trying my best

re the post for her, she is home with a spinal injury, but i would do the same for anyone ..

i did purchase a BX4 label online on the 9 may to beat the weight restrictions starting on the 13 .. but afrter calculating the post

she will be charged , or worse me, if they dont accept it , $125 , i am hesitant now to use that label on a box i have. i phoned a

p/office who told me 'oh yes thats what people do' when asked if i can use my own box but it wouldnt stand up in court  😞 ..

i have thought to possibly just try 2 x 5kgs satchels for them but dont have one to test ..they dont look all that big either ..

any thoughts appreciated ?

thanks

the best you can do is package them in satchels I guess and charge her for as many as it takes

but seriously, a Bx4 box for $125? i thought they were flat rate about $16? or diod we lose the Bx4 flat rate> regardless,  $1265 for 5kg seems like a lot?

Have a look at the ebay labels - we get discount through there

or what avbout a courier/

i just got a 18kg huge wooden thing and two other things too, from Melb to Qld for $70

I regularly get clothing sent from Adelaide to Sydney.   The seller uses 3kg and 5kg satchels.  In summer weight clothing she can get up to 15 items of clothing in a 5kg satchel.  With heavier winter weight items a lot depends on how bulky they are.

I agree with Crikey....use satchels, as many as are needed for the order.

Could you perhads, buy a Vacuum Pac  ( quite cheap at Kmart , Bunnings etc ) and put as many as you can into it and that may help. i use them for storage and it's quite amazing how much you can fit into them and how small they are once the air has been removed.

Just a thought 😉

The B4 label is still available through ebay postage labels for $15.05 for 5 kg  for $15.05  (these labels are now only available through ebay labels not click and send)

If you buy the B4 box from the PO (I think it costs $3.35) that would be $18.40

So I think I would go with a B4 box and a satchel for anything that didn't fit in the box.

That label won't be any good to you now, because it is not when you purchase the label, but when you lodge it - but you can email click and send and get a refund.
