Two shipping questions.

I know everyone is pretty knowledgable on here. I was wondering what is the best and most affordable way to ship a sealed topps set? Also what is the average shipping cost to ship out one BGS card. I haven't shipped either of these things before. Thanks.

Priority Flat Rate Bubble Mailer for the set. Some POs carry them some don't but you can order them for free online.

4 oz in a 000 mailer for a BGS card

PO has flat rate boxes that a 800 count box will fit with some packing about $10.00 fee

The bubble mailer I mentioned is in the $5 range. Don't remember the exact total

never used a mailer for a boxed set and that would be cheaper - thanks

Thanks for the responses. I didn't even know those flat rate bubble envelops existed. Definitely haven't seen them at my post office. I will look online. Thanks.

Flat rate bubble mailers don't exist at post offices...they are available online only. Ask someone at a postal retail counter about them and you'll get nothing but a blank stare. Likewise, you can only buy the flat rate postage for them online. Pay for postage at a PO using them, and you pay the standard weighted rate. I also wouldn't recommend shipping a factory set in those (if they fit), since the set box will most likely get smushed corners during shipping (the padding is very thin).

Go online and order "Regional rate A" boxes instead.
