Yes the red ones, it says small 500g on the top left hand corner. Really big clothes probably wouldn't fit though but all mine fit nicely and I got 10 for $7.30 or around about that.

Look at click and send. The satchels are 15c each if bought in 20s plus postage of $6.95. Far cheaper than the standard AP ones. And they are tracked to the door. The standard ones are only tracked to the delivery centre. If that centre is in a different postcode to the buyer, then you will not have Paypal seller protection.

As for what Tara said, I send roughly half of my items by untracked large letter (2cm max thickness). I have yet to have one not arrive.

Also consider rigid card envelopes. You can post up to A4 sized items as a large letter (as long as under 500gm and total thickness is under 2cm) so the maximum cost would be cost of packaging plus $3.00 postage. Some fabrics would probably not be able to go this way, so if looking for a uniform postage method it might not be convenient, but for lighter weight, thinner fabrics or short lengths etc that can be folded to fit (in a zip lock bag with all the air out, so essentially vacuum sealed), it would be a cheaper alternative (but no tracking / proof of postage unless you pay for registered, or have some other method for gaining verifiable proof of post).

the satchesl i buy and send that are trackable are not just tracked to a delivery centre

if you look at online tracking they go further once on board with the driver for delivery to the address on the satchel

also if not at home and carded they need to show id at the post office to pick it up which is a 50/50 chance these days

and when i checked i was told that because i used trackable satchels that were handed over the counter and scanned to track

and i kept all receipts and trackable paper work i was covered under seller protection

if you just shove it in a red box and dont get it scanned properly with receipts for it then no you are not covered

I was talking about your letter stance.

Nevertheless C&S satchels are significantly cheaper than the standard ones, so my point still applies.

You can send anything in an envelope as long as it's under 2cm thick. What you have to ensure is it's packed in a way that won't allow the contents to scrunch up, hence d*g's suggestion of using card.
