cwhitmuzik Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 So I've been selling more than I've been getting in lately, and I'm running out of mailers. Any suggestions of cheap places to get some mailers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 If you have Amazon Prime, you can get 10 with 2-day shipping for $20.http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-LP-Record-Mailer-Pack/dp/B00B2AWQMC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1410645007&sr=8-5&keywords=record+mailers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeTerrain Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yeah except for the part where the shipping is $6 more than the cost of the mailers. well there is a free shipping option where its like 30 dollars flat but i mean compared to 10 of them for 20 dollars its still a better deal all around.

just a normal guy kevin Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just do what the eBay member, who shipped me a used Ian Dury LP between two thin pieces of card stock taped at the non-overlapping ends, did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylet Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Where are people getting them these days? 200 for $103.90 shipped. Best I could find. Can anybody beat that? https://www.ebay.com/itm/353358768635 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Typically hard to find them any cheaper than eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was worth using the same Ebay vendor I've used for years who's a little more. Fortunately they had free returns or I would have been screwed. kylet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezfools Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'm usually a cheap ass, but when it comes to mailers anymore, I have stuck with the mighty mailers. Sure, it's 50-100 cents more than the cheap stuff on eBay, but way less issues in my experience with these. One record getting fucked during shipment can potentially erase all that money you saved by the cheaper mailers. https://www.bagsunlimited.com/product/7979/a-namemlp1mighty-music-mailerbrlp-record-mailer-for-b-font-colorred1-or-2-bfont-vinyl-recordsbr12-58-x-12-12-x-14a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smellman Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) I only use the mailers that have the extended sides like the mighty mailers posted above. The peace of mind is worth the extra cost. I use the ones made by Pratt, 25 for $50($40+$10 s/h) They're very similar, if not identical, to the mighty mailers. I haven't had a single issue with them. You can't ship many records in one mailer but the vast majority of my orders are for single albums. And I always remove the records from the outer sleeves and add some tape for good measure. I personally hate receiving records in the old cruciform mailers. Edited April 24, 2021 by Smellman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I used to buy the Whiplash mailers but eventually the extra cost didn’t make sense for me. I’ve switched to the less interesting 12x12 mailers and I just add 2-4 cardboard squares, depending on how much free space needs to be filled before the scored flaps are flush with the record & squares. It’s much more cost effective, it’s sturdy, and I haven’t had a single issue with damage after shipping out ~150 orders in them.

I used to buy Pratt mailers but had to add the cost to my shipping prices. Now I just buy the plain LP mailers and add cardboard inserts to fill the mailer. Never any issues with these mailers and cost less than half of the specialty mailers. I found a large paper guillotine at a thrift store for cheap and cut down recycled boxes for cardboard inserts.

The recycling nerd/hippy + cheap skate in me loves this idea. But it seems like so much work to save a couple of bucks lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably makes it feel more worthwhile to a recycling nerd/hippy. Mars and dnl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
