andrewc Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I just packaged up about 50 used 12" mailers of assorted heights, and 2-3 7" mailers in a giant 30x38x8, 26 lbs box. Looks like it is over the size restriction for USPS and UPS, but fedex isn't looking that bad for the east coast. Would anyone be into having 50 used mailers? Most of them come with extra cardboard spacers in them, if not bubble wrap. PM me your zip code so I can get a better shipping estimate. I might have to remove the 7" mailers and cut the box down to under 130" girth+height to get a reasonable price, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewc Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 If I can get the box size down, does anyone know if cardboard mailers can legally be shipped as "media mail"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukebileforever Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 You can still include the 7" boxes, just put them inside the 12" boxes. Also, since boxes aren't considered books, sound recordings, recorded video tapes, printed music, and recorded computer-readable media, I am doubtful you will be able to ship them via Media Mail. http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/senditwithintheus/mediamail.htm If you're on the east coast near CT/MA I may be interested in picking these up.

andrewc Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 rva=richmond, virginia. i have 3 people who have PMed, and I need to calculate postage for them. on the east coast, it is looking like $25-30ish. West Coast probably a lot more, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewc Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Do you need more than 50? I have another stack that couldn't fit in the large box. I'd be great if I could get these to someone who can use them, instead of just sending them to the cardboard recycling dumpster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremybentham Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Still interested, if still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 if you want to ship it media mail then just throw in a shitty 7" somewhere in the package. would that work? i dont know really, because we dont have media mail here, but it seems like it could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenanigans Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 i'd take some off your hands, but I definitely don't need 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewc Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Ok, thanks everyone. The big box of 50 has a home (shortly), and I think the rest are going to be picked up. Sorry shenanigans, I don't have another box to ship the rest in (and there were people before you). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
