Shipping Suggestions

We've found that PayPal is a great service and easy to use for shipping your orders. Since PayPal has partnered with USPS, you'll save 30% by signing up and shipping through PayPal (using USPS) than if you were to just ship through USPS.  Once you have set up an account, you will be able to send invoices to customers or manually create a shipping label to print.

Organza Bags:
We found the larger selection with Amazon but the better priced with ebay.  The four different sizes we use are 4"x5", 4.5"x6", 6"x8", and 7"x9".  We do the majority of our jewelry with the 4"x5" and 4.5"x6".  Then get the larger 7"x9" size for the seed beads, which we don't buy very many of these.
Amazon: 200 organza bags $12.99. Size 4"x6".
Amazon: 100 organza bags $13.50. Size 6"x8".
Amazon: 50 organza bags $10.99. Size 7"x9".

We found the best online options on Amazon or eBay.  The mailers come in various sizes but the ones we mostly use are #000 (4"x8"), #0 (6"x10"), #1 (7.25"x12"), #2 (8.5"x12"), and #5 (10.5"x16").  We recommend purchasing two different sizes of shipping envelopes to accommodate different order sizes.  Do your own due diligence, but below are some ideas of how much you can get the different mailer prices.
