Shipping

[pop]

I will being offering for sale a number of jig molds, but having a difficult time finding the right boxes to ship them in. For those who have sold molds in the past or currently shipping them, I would appreciate box suggestions and where to obtain them. Thanks in advance, Pop

You can buy about any size box you want from U-Line but you have to buy a qty. Price goes down the more you buy. USPS, Staples carry boxes.

What Rickie said. They have a small box that will hold a mold with the handles removed and all will fit in box. Think it is just over 6.00 to ship. Check the post office.

Like Cray said. A small flat rate box will hold a mold with handles removed. The handles will fit in the box too.
I usually use a piece of cardboard, cut to the size of more than one mold and use extra tape. One mold will ship for $4 and 2 will ship for $6, 3 for $8.

I have the small PRIORITY box from the post office. I thought they were the same price regardless of weight? Never thought about taking handles off, good idea. Thanks, Pop

I use these boxes quite a lot when selling heavy dropshot sinkers.

The small priority flat rate box will run you $6.80 each. Up to 70 lbs can ship. It doesn't matter if you put a single 1/16th oz jig in it or 15 lbs of lead (the mailman won't be too happy with you though :D) - it's still $6.80. The boxes themselves are free. When you go up in box size, the price increases, but the 70 lb weight limit doesn't.

You can also buy the postage online at USPS.com, print the label, and stick them in the mailbox for your carrier to pick up.

Make sure to add a little packing tape over where it folds together especially with heavier items.

PS Interested in your molds!

Pop, his prices have to be for his home made boxes he's talking about. Like smooth lures said flat rate is same price no mater what you put in it.
