I ship maybe 3,000 comics a year. I use Priority Mail envelopes for the vast majority of them (~90%). I order cardboard from Papermart - I usually order 500 8-1/2 X 11 200# pound corrugated sheet cardboard, already cut, costs $120 shipped to my house, which adds a little to my cost, but the time I don't spend cutting cardboard more than makes up for it. I slide the comic and the cardboard into a magazine size bag, tape it up, and ship it.

 

I just bought 400 for $47 shipped from these guys (12¢/ea): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280070817498

 

Thought I'd pass on the deal. It would cut your cost in half.

 

This wasn't quite as good of a deal (still better than what Donut is paying), but might be better shipping rates for those on the east coast: http://cgi.ebay.com/300-8-5x11-Cardboard...1QQcmdZViewItem

 

I'd kill for 8 1/2 x 11 3/4 . . . 27_laughing.gif
