I think you've just passed the recruitment process to be an Evri driver 😂
I often wonder if my parcels get dropped kicked exactly in that fashion 😂 I sell books and vintage hard goods, I use an awful lot of cardboard and bubble wrap. Single books go out in a polymailer wrapped in bubble wrap, book bundles go out in a box but are wrapped in bubble wrap first to protect against wet. My breakables are double boxed. Soneone once told me that my parcels would have to survive a drop from a first floor window if they wanted to survive the postal system 😂😂😂
I both buy & ship books and I always do as you did. I wrap the book first to prevent the cover & pages from additional wear/damage, and I make a "brick" with the poly mailer as well. Many times when I receive books they are just loose in a poly mailer and I have received books that definitely arrived in worse shape than when they were shipped, especially if someone tosses more than one loose book into a poly and then ships it off as is because the books damage one another in those cases. Great to see someone making a video about this topic. And since I doubt any package would take *all* of those types of abuse in one trip, it seems both methods you showed here work just fine the majority of the time. I really think the main thing is not letting them slide around inside of whatever you choose to mail them in. 😀
Loved this. Recently moved to a new property, and had dozens of piles of cardboard boxes to move my books and vinyl, cut it all to size to keep the weight down and taped it up with parcel tape. Worked brilliantly, and was completely free because I work at Argos/Sainsbury's so cost absolutely nothing😂. But felt a lot safer and sturdier doing that rather than bubble wrap etc, and using less plastic is always going to be a better thing Shirley 🤘
Great video! I had just commented on one of your older videos asking if there were any complaints from buyers about getting things in polymailers. 😉 I want to resell books in the near future and would use your method of boxes for higher value items and polybags for the rest. Thanks for the demo!
This feels like a very accurate representation of how my evri packages get treated!
Great video my friend. Loved it.
Had to laugh but on a serious note it was a really helpful video. We usually post in a box but are moving toward your 'brick' method. 993! You might hit 1K with this one 😊
An interesting experiment. What difference, if any, would the extra weight of the card add to postage costs?
It’s a few more grams. So none really. Only if you had a parcel that was right at 2kg would it make a difference and potentially push you into the next price bracket.
Very helpful video.
You kick like a pro man!!!
Brilliant video
