Hi guys Don't know if this is of any use to anyone but thought id post it here just in case. This link will take you to the royal mail website to order a free parcel template guide. I previously looked on eBay for a template but I couldn't justify spending £14 or more on a size guide for the amount of posting I do. The form asks business name, job title etc. Plate N Sheet Professional 4 Serial. But I left these blank as they weren't starred as required info. I received mine yesterday - roughly a week after filling the form in.
It comes in a thick card form with the measured cut out spaces required for letter, large letter and small parcels. Thank you so much for that - exactly what I needed! Re the 6x6inch cube, I found a very friendly lady behind the counter at my local post office who explained about this, and demonstrated how lots of packages which had been brought for postage could have been squashed down into this cube. While it wouldn't suit everything of course, I found it quite astonishing how much you can get into this cube. Bear in mind it doesn't have to be cube shaped, if it fits into the guide box that they have behind the counter, then it goes as a small parcel at the lower rate.
My contact was kind enough to give me a spare cardboard cube that they have, but I think this should be easy enough to make from a bit of card and sellotape. Just bear in mind the RM quoted qize is in cms - 16cmx16cmx16cm.
Western Flyer Bicycle Serial Number List there. Packaging – it’s something so simple and self-explanatory, right? Just quickly pack up your item and post it off, there’s nothing more to it Unfortunately it’s not quite that simple, as always with eBay the devil is in the details and if you want to be a truly great seller, packaging is just another thing that you have to consider very carefully. And just so that there’s no confusion, I’m talking mainly about the packaging you use to post an item, not the.
Okay, so to get started, let’s first cover the most common packaging materials available and go over which you should generally use for different products. Cardboard Boxes Coming in nearly every shape and size imaginable, regular old cardboard boxes are probably the most commonly used packaging material for eCommerce and eBay sellers. Cardboard boxes are ideal for heavy items (like books) or fragile items (glassware etc.) that need extra protection during shipping. One of the best things about cardboard boxes is the variety of types and sizes available – which means they can be used for almost any item. Need to send bottles in the post? That’s fine, you can get cardboard boxes made specifically for that purpose with dividers to hold each bottle and stop them from breaking in transit. There are also both single-wall and double-wall cardboard boxes, with double-wall obviously offering more protection but being slightly larger and heavier.
As you can see, no matter what the product, you can find a near-perfectly fitting cardboard box to post it in. The downsides to cardboard boxes is that they do add some weight and volume, so if this is going to take it into the next price bracket under Royal Mail’s Pricing in Proportion () then you should consider an alternative packaging option to save on postage costs. Plus due to the fact that cardboard boxes are the sturdiest shipping option, they are also more expensive. But as with all packaging, if you can buy in bulk then the cost per piece goes down sharply. One money-saving tip if you send a lot of items that fall under the small parcel size with Royal Mail, which is either 45cm x 35cm x 8cm or the deep option – 35cm x 25cm x 16cm, is to buy the max small parcel box size in bulk.
What exactly do I mean by this? Well instead of buying a variety of different box sizes to fit all your items, just buy the largest box size that will still fit as a small parcel, but buy it in real bulk to bring down the price per box, to lower than 50p each, and that’s at still a smallish quantity (c.250). The savings you make that way will more than make up for any extra bubble wrap costs to get smaller items more tightly packed, plus it keeps everything simple and easy to manage! The idea here is to make packaging as quick and easy a process as possible, so you can concentrate on the really important aspects of your business. Jiffy Bags/Padded Envelopes The next most commonly used packaging material, jiffy bags are basically envelopes with a layer of bubble wrap within, making them the ideal way to send small items as a large letter with Royal Mail, while still offering a good degree of protection. DVDs and games are the perfect examples of products that can be sent using jiffy bags but others include: jewellery, small accessories, small electrical items (memory cards, cables etc.), phone cases The main reasons for using a jiffy bag over a cardboard box are price and also convenience.
