How do you pack small cosmetics products?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

Hi, I am new in Bonanza and have one question about shipping prices and more how to pack my cosmetics? As I understand it in our post page the prices are clear but when I calculated prices there a more of a half for shipping. I think I must put the product in box but it is too expensive. Can you tell me how to pack securely but not to be ao heavily. Thank you.

Depending on the kind of cosmetics you could use a padded envelope and ship 1st class instead of Priority it would be alot cheaper. You can buy padded envelopes at Dollar Stores.

I agree with Madison BUT wrap the cosmetics in bubble wrap – that way they are doulbe protected. Also – purchasing postage through Paypal vs Bonanza is cheaper.

Walmart also sells 6 × 6 × 6 boxes for about .49 if you have a cosmetic that is larger to ship. Yes on the bubblewrap, too, and first class.

small items can be packed in padded envelopes (breakable, ie glass, extra padding or a small box/container in padded envelope will work also)…ship first class (up to 15.99 ounces)..use that shipping option on PayPal or here (if you have loaded a shipping account to pay for postage)..

New first class postage purchased online (paypal or any online source that uses commericial rate) is as [URL removed]

If purchased at Post Office the cost is a bit higher…

Anything 16 0z (1 pound) or above will have to go priority or standard and cost will depend on distance
