Shipping boxes for old toys ??

Post by Rollo Tomassi »

Stores don't dump em anymore.
I've been wasting half an hour looking at box stores.

Like 8x15-17 inches? ??????

help:
"Racist" is a toolword. You must know that.
Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."

Refute if you can.

My local post office has a large and varied selection of boxes and blister wrap. I'd take your toy and a roll of packing tape to the post office and just wrap it there and ship it. My local UPS store will wrap and ship packages. They do a good job and the convenience is worth it.

Did that one time with some nut who HAD to have a map I advertised.
Map: $50
Packing and shipping: $200 UPS store. Wogs.

He was still happy to pay it. I see the map on ebay for 30 bucks

No idea how he could ship for 2.99 :lol:

When I offerred my son the full price of the junk just to pack and ship it for me, his idea was to use the UPS store.
Like a buyer would pay shipping. :?

Check recycling bins behind factories, but be cautious because it may be considered stealing.
