Hi. As stated in my post, I get my boxes from uline.com. They care a huge variety of shipping supplies. I use the 4x4x4 corrugated boxes as they work well for shipping beads and small jewelry items. Here is the link to the item:

I hope this helps. I realize this size isn't perfect for shipping everything, but it works for me and is rather inexpensive.

so, thanks for the link cause i couldnt find it on my own. anyways. i was checking the usps site and flat rate boxes are completely free get from the site. plus the small ones are only 5 dollars to **** domestic and around 13 to ship internetional. plus if u use click-n-ship online u get free(that one thing where it says if the item has been recieved by the reciepent)...'

since you hon, stated you use these boxes that arent flat rate, how are u shipping it? i assume u live in the us, im just asking because well.. flat rate seems the cheapest. is there a cheaper way?

When I ship the 4x4x4 boxes with a set or two of beads inside I ship via first class mail with delivery confirmation and it usually costs around $2.75 or so to ship in the USA. Of course, it depends on the weight of the box. The heavier it is the more it costs, but I rarely have anything cost over $3.00 to ship. If insurance is required the price goes up, of course, but it is still under $5.00 to ship. If someone purchases a huge amount of things, then the flat rate boxes from the USPS would be the way to go.

Hope this helps.

Question

firist class mail heh? does insurance cost more if the price of your jewelry is more?
do you know that? im a total noob. i was just on the usps website the other day reading all about the priority mail.
i dont know about first class mail as much. i think that i have to figure out the weight of my pieces before i can choose which shipping method(first class VS flat rate priority)
let me ask u this:
do u put a bunch of stamps on those 4x4 boxes or is ther an easier way like a label or something for first class. jw
