I don't care about packaging its for a custom. Honestly when sellers use other carriers it doesn't seem to be any better, cheaper or quicker than the good old USPS. Fed Ex Smartpost is the worst of them all. offer a non collector option 100 9x12 poly mailers for 13.95 on ebay, (14 cents for packaging per figure) first class shipping for under 5 bucks.Last edited by thunderbolt; Apr 14, '19, 7:05 PM.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

My USPS scale shows two Trek figures are 10.5oz which qualifies for First Class.
I have tried getting an estimate on their website using First Class to a California zip code...i must be blind because I can't find it.
It's been a good couple days - more inventory has arrived and I still have more on the way, due this week.

...and I am a half hour into figuring out how to file my first round of taxes before Friday....and find out, even though I have zero dollars in sales, I get to now pay .0625% on everything I bought from L2P...lol wow.
Illinois sales tax rate is .0925 once I sell something. Funny how a single item gets taxed twice.Comment

I haven't bought anything online from B&N in at least 6 years after the last order from them was very sloppily packaged and damaged. Companies need to ensure that orders are packaged properly because they lose a lot of customers from haphazardly packaged orders.Comment

I have received all my order materials finally.
I'm going to start going over who all texted, PMed, messaged about what they wanted.
I did notice something going on with Freddy....looks like a variation out there. Some pants have paint weathering, some pants don't.

I can tell you straight up that the retail business is really hard especially for low margin items. I used to sell Hallmark ornaments just for fun but it wasn’t fun when I had inventory for less than I paid. Add in time spent to wrap and mail...total nightmare but learned my lesson. Buying $1,000 wholesale is not going to get you much of a discount. You will need at least a $100,000 and work with MEGO directly..that might not be enough. Just keep in mind that the competition is ordering at least that amount and pays employees $10 an hour to fill order after order. It is a tough business"The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

Freddy variant and flocked Wolfman to name a few.
