Question for anyone who sells online & posts pens out to customers. Whats the best way to package & post them so they arrive as safely as possible please.

I use the super light weight plastic to make a pouch then gaffer tape.

I use the old jiffy bag, the pen is inside a draw string or a black velvet sleeve, no problems so far...touch wood.

That was sort of what I was thinking John but always best to ask those who already do it lol, the problem with the plastic tubes is that is an extra squid on costs & I am not really making anything on them to start with although I can look at adding it at an extra at additional cost as I do with presentation boxes & drawstring bags.

I now make my own pillow boxes, glue my card to it, then wrap it in bubble wrap then a padded bag.

I sent two pens to Australia all I done was found a box just a little larger than the two pens and wrapped them in bubble wrap before putting them in the box both arrived safe and sound. The only damage was to my wallet

You will find as many different ways as there are people sending pens in the post.

I use the simple small 20 to 22mm large letter box with bubble wrap. Much sturdier in a box in my view.

I also use clear cellophane sealed bags which are security sealed, the buyer can see the pen and if they don't like it then they can return it. Untouched or used.

Postal charges needs to cover post and "packaging" so you can make sure you are not paying to send goods out.
