Bricker Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I sell a lot of non-lego items on ebay and have always used newspaper. Mostly because I have an almost unlimited supply of it and it's all free. I've recently started selling some of my lego investments and was wondering, is it ok to use newspaper? The reason I ask is I'm worried the the print could potentially rub off on the boxes? Anyone else use newspaper to ship, I've searched around haven't found any other info on it? Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I always use newspaper unless someone ships something to me with bubble wrap and I reuse it. It works great. Customers have been happy. As long as the LEGO doesn't shake in the package you don't even need anything. I sent tons of DC with no packing and never had problems. Never spend money on any packing materials except tape. Quote
matt1147 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I save all the packing materials from my orders to reuse. When I run out, I use newspaper and also plastic "walmart" bags - those bags make great packing material - soft, light, protects edges.... Quote
Bricker Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 Thanks guys! Yeah I've never paid for packing material other than tape. I also save all the bubble wrap and pillow bags to ship stuff in but always run out. My grandmother still gets the daily newspaper and has grocery sacks full of newspaper lol. Quote
Young_Gun21 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Who still has newspaper lying around?I just grab a stack of paper from the free section at the gas station Quote
