Sellers might *think* bubble/jiffy bags are tough or that envelopes (prepaid or not) are the easy/cheap/sufficient option,

but as a buyer I have not been too impressed when dvds have arrived rattling around or are cracked. some have got through

ok, others haven't. I wish more sellers might consider the flat cardboard mailer boxes (same seller mentioned has these

mailers and at 16mm thick should be fine to send as 'large letters'. I noticed a bulk lot of 200 that worked out about 34c each.

Seems a pretty good price to me (and no not linked to them, just sharing info)

Using the padded mailer bag sizes mentioned above, there is no room for the DVD to rattle around. I also put a piece of bubble wrap inside the front cover of the DVD case. 

Sellers selling DVD's no longer wanted around home, may not want to invest $70 up front for 200 DVD mailer boxes. In smaller quantities the mailer boxes are dearer than padded mailer bags.

Myself I wouldn't send a DVD in a paper envelope.

The piece of bubble wrap inside the cover is a good idea - anything that might prevent the dvd moving around or getting scratched.

If I didn't want to invest upfront in a bulk quantity of cardboard mailers I would probably invest in a quantity of the prepaid envelopes from Australia Post and then use some cardboard either side of the cover - if I had a few mm to spare. Chop up a few boxes, it is cheap, and you get to do a bit of 'recycling'.

Do you think the person you are replying to still has them over 9 years later?

And it is not a wanted to buy forum anyway
