Shipping Lip Balm

[bobbie.johnson]

So how do you ship your lip balm? What kind of envelope do you use? Looking for ideas because I usually end up loosing money on shipping after buying envelope from post office. But I cant stand to charge my customer $3 shipping on a $3-4 product... Anyone with ideas? What works for you?

Thanks
Bobbie

I take it you're in the states? Walmart do padded envelopes that would fit a balm and they are $0.32 each. Is that a little better?

I've been known to make my own bubble mailer. Super easy, just glue or tape some bubble wrap to a piece of butcher paper, fold it in half and use packing tape on the edges. Worked like a charm and you can make any size you need for pennies. Or just wrap the lip balm itself in bubble wrap and stick it in an envelope?

Put it in a bubble mailer and ship 1st class. With a "fragile" sticker.
