Shipping Questions

[mrsmitty]

anyone ever get boxes from walmart or any retail store at that, factories. There more than willing to give you boxes, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, gas stations will give you there old newspapers for shipping. This all comes in handy if you sale on ebay. I have boxes full of packing peanuts & bubble wrap and probably enough boxes to to last me for years.

Aha,,,brilliance! Keep them from charging the Priority rate instead of the regular rate which is about $2 less. Somebody gets a bump for this idea.

If you are ever in a grocery store from 7am-2pm if you see anyone stocking shelves they are more than happy to give you a box you just have to be specific about what you want. The earlier the better because the vendors are out of most of the stores by 2pm.

They have created a way to foil that plan.

They have USPS Priority box printed on the inside now. Well at least the last one I got had it.

Seeing as though the post office is a federal government ran facility I don't know if I'd try this... Just my two cents...

Its not that hard to get free boxes.

Speaking of shipping (I am bad with the search), how long do you guys keep shipped sticks in your humi before you smoke them? I usually go by feel and if they seem like they are ok I will smoke them after a couple days.

What say you? Or if you know a thread I can reference!

I usually let them rest for at least a couple of weeks but to be safe I usually give them a month.

I normally use USPS Priority Mail. The shipping is quick and the boxes are free. I usually pack sticks in a Ziploc bag and stuff the box with shredded paper to cushion the sticks as they go on their journey.
