![]() The problem with this program is exactly what you are stating. I have more and more of these getting lost/damaged/returned to me. I thought this would go away as the program has aged, but it's not getting better, it's getting worse. I have ppl asking where their cards are, and right now they are stuck in a loop of me sending them to the PO and then the PO sending back to me for insufficient postage, isn't insufficient postage. I either need to discuss with the Post Office manager at my branch, or something has to be done. It's like 200 will go just fine, then a whole batch of 50 comes back to me, and then again, and then again. ![]() It's highly frustrating that I'm packing up the cards via how they were sold, and the USPS won't deliver them. I keep packaging up Ebay standard envelope after Ebay standard envelope, taking it to the PO in a big pile only to have that pile come back to me saying "insufficient postage" or "Return to Sender for 20 cent non machineable surcharge". Simply put, the "ebay standard envelope" sounds ridiculous to me. So by any standard, this "ebay standard envelope" isn't going to work with the postal machining rules. To wit, I've actually had a return even after that on graded cards because they got machined and tore up the case (through the bubble mailer I used). Which is going to fall right into what I have to say.īut I know in mailing any of these things (I've sold and bought them all at one time or another) that you have to have the rigid envelope (I always cardboard backed my card ships with the assumption it might be machine sorted, you don't want cards to get bent and they're going to get bent) or the uneven envelope. Edit: I watched and see it's just a label that's printed off and meant to tape to an envelope as dude on the video is doing. I've never seen one of these envelopes so I can't say the nature of it. While I don't disagree with what I see posted, I can look at and it indicates clearly that it's for "Available for trading cards, coins and currency, postcards and stamps". Add more padding to protect it from sliding around as needed.I have to admit that reading all of this strikes me as goofy regarding what the eBay standard envelope is supposedly for.Put the padded envelope in a small box. ![]() Insert cardboard in one side of the envelope.Slide the coin in a mylor envelope that is doubled.It’s better to ship coins using this style vs just tossing them in an envelope. The system Mr Hall shared in the video is the same technique eBay sellers can use after a sale on eBay. At this point, and this is the really first time in the process that you should use tape, you just want to make sure you tape all the seams of this packaging shut. The final thing you need to do is if you have one of our mailing labels, if you’re sending these to ANACS, you would just go ahead and affix that. It’s going to be easier for the person on the other end to get to them to do what they need to do with them, and you’re going to be all set. Now, if you have a lot more coins, you might want to do a smaller box inside of a larger box and just make sure that it won’t move around.īasically, if this is all one piece, your coins are going to be absolutely safe. If I take this and shake it, there’s no way that the contents in there can move around. I just go ahead and fill that extra space in with that. One thing that you can always do is put in someĪdditional material, if there’s extra room in a box like that. I’m going to put them in there, and I’m going to seal the box. If stuff can’t move around, your coins are going to be safe. With all of these steps, you just want to make sure that stuff can’t move around. This is a bubble mailer, and this is a simple box.Īll I’m going to do in this case is I’m going to use the mailer for my insider layer. In this case, I have two very simple things that I can get from the Post Office. The one thing, regardless of your submission size, that we tell people is to always ship in two layers. This is a pretty small submission, so we have a lot of options. The next important thing is what kind of containers you should ship coins in. You take a rubber band, you take the flips that you’ve already done, and if you just wrap a rubber band around it like so, these things aren’t going anywhere. Really, all you need to ensure that that is the case is a simple rubber band.
