For those of you that sell or just send bracelets to people, how do you do it? Do you put them in a normal envelope and just put it in your mailbox for the mailman to pick up? If so, how many stamps do you use? Or do you go through fedex or ups? I've never sent anything before son not really sure how to.

If you go to the local post office they will know how many stamps and I just use a normal envelope

I use a normal envelope but I wrap it in like a little letter so it doesn't rip through or anything and then take it to the post office and they'll tell you

For bracelet swaps, I use normal envelopes and send them in normal mail, and for Etsy sales, I use bubble mailers and get them weighed at the post office (due to the variant weights with beads and charms!) 🙂

Katniss; you say you sell thru etsy, is it worth it? What are your prices of bracelets to make up for the price of shipping and all that?

I had a couple incidents from sending my bracelets in normal envelopes where they would get lost in the sorting facility. Ao I bought a giant pack of padded envelopes off of eBay for almost nothing.

@Addy97 I find that selling via online services can be great! Just make sure that your customers know how much they are paying for shipping (which is separate from the price of the bracelet itself). 🙂
