I'm the newbee box resizer who commented on the FB channel. Thanks for addressing my problems. I am practicing on second hand boxes for now and until I get a result that looks moderately presentable I will purchase boxes of the correct size. I have also found the new flat boxes take up much less room than all the second hand boxed that people have graciously given me.
8 lbs of clock weights are a potential candidate to pack in a USPS Padded Flat Rate Bubble mailer, either in a few layers of bubble (wrapped in scrap cardboard) or even better, in a thin box, slide into the bubble mailer and you save the cost of the box. Of course, when comparing the FR mailer to Ground Advantage Cubic, the distance to travel plays a big part too. But since I'm west of Seattle, such packs always seem to go coast to coast. 😉
If you are able, Lonnie, it would be interesting to hear the exact shipping cost of each package also. I know you stop to print the label before moving onto the next package, so maybe just add the cost details when you start the next package or something 😊
@i'm gonna pack it What tape are you using on your 3 inch dispensor? I'm having a heck of a time with mine. I have the same dispensor but the tape I have pulls the heck out of it, gets tape residue all over it, etc.
Another good cost savings on shipping the big book lots instead of the polymailers use one of the Home Depot bags. I ran out and bought a box when I saw you show them on Shed Flips and they work awesome for protecting dolls, books, so many things that could get water damaged. Can't beat the price on them either.
Lonnie, helpful hint for you on the barbie boxes with windows..use some of the extra cardboard pieces around the box. That way you can't damage the window

Those Gumbo Bowls, an award winning pack!

I put those 3M Velcro strips (meant for posters) underneath my tape dispenser so it doesn’t move around when I only have one hand to get tape.
Nice Gumbo Plate Packing Lonnie 👍
I think they could run over those bowls with the delivery truck and they still wouldn’t break lol
Great Channel new here!!
Yeah you make it look so easy. I've bucthered a few boxes. Lol..
Still loving these!
Thanks so much for the support, that is awesome!
