@vogeltron

Isn't priority mail pretty darn expensive by itself? I guess I am thinking flat rate. I'm also thinking those priority mail boxes you get for free, the stamp on that ought to be quite expensive compared with first class that is less than 13 ounces. My experience with 13 ounces or less, usually first class is cheapest even compared with the super slow media mail. But I could be wrong.

Flat rate or not shipping first class is cheaper for hats. 10 oz first class label on eBay is $2.93. 1lb or less Priority is $5 or more. Don't matter flat rate. Even if you pay .45-.60 cents for a corrugated box it ends up costing less. Maybe a day or so difference in shipping time to the majority of the U.S. With hats you have to go first class now. Years ago it wasn't such a difference in price. Sucks cause the Corrugated boxes seem expensive compared to bubble/poly mailers. But it pencils out.

I looked at uline for some 8x8x5, selected the 25 boxes at .51 per box. When I got to the checkout, they wanted to charge 15 bucks for shipping on a 12 dollar order! Is this normal?

Valuemailers is does not have very good Corrugated boxes. I buy all my poly bubble mailers from them but would not buy Corrugated boxes from them again. I would check eBay. Uline unless you buy a pallet of items or pick them up at one of the locations. The shipping kills the deals most of the time.

I use to buy a specific size box from Uline but always picked it up, I figured if it cost me $5 in gas then it was well worth it but they do charge too much on shipping.

Not sure if I should start a new thread, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to straighten out the wrinkles on a hat? My baseball caps is a bit crushed and wrinkled. I used a ball cap buddy straightener, and applied some steam while it was in the ball cup buddy. Rubbed it out with my fingers. It's not perfect. Right now I tried to soak another hat in some corn starch water and putting it in a ball cap buddy. Any new suggestions would be very helpful. Thx.

I don't mess with China stuff anymore. But 10 years ago I use to buy some caps from them. They would come all crushed in flimsy boxes. I would just lie them out on a big table all together and after a few days it seems like they would regain their shape. All the hats I come from now are sourced in the states and if they are damaged I get credited.
