Sending large letters within Aus, from home

[thesoulyearns]

A good portion of things I sell are able to be sent as large letters and I usually just head down to the PO for the items to be stamped and on their way. It's all fairly quick and easy and haven't had any problems yet but it would save a bit of time to be able to stamp them at home.

I have a little weigher and can check the price according to the Aus Post guidelines via eBay's Postage Calculator. Does anyone do this and how is it working out for you? Thanks for any help.

Thanks greencat (nice green star :)) and everyone. For CDs/DVDs, I've been using the Pb3 padded envelope from AP, which is nice and sturdy and generally everything falls under the 20mm guidelines. Haven't had any complaints as far as things being squashed or broken and generally the total post cost will be about $3, which is just making it reasonable and competitive on eBay.

Just had a look at ebpackaging and they offer really competitive prices! Thanks, might order from them in the future. 🙂 Donna, today I was just thinking about that very thing, re: taping, as I have a bunch of things which would benefit from that. Do you buy cardboard stiffners yourself and where do you buy them from? Would they fit in a 215x280 padded envelope? Thanks.

 Yep. I put my own stamps on and it works great. I just drop them in the red box. I only go into the post office to send the occasional internation parcel or buy stamps.
