Hey,
Quick question: what method do you guys use to ship MOC Elites and what does it cost? Basics? Also, what's the cheapest way to send loose figs in a padded envelope?
Thanks!

Put it in a box. Take it to the post office. Should cost $5-$8.
For loose figures, I buy padded bubble wrap (waterproof) envelopes. You can get them at WalMart. It's usually like $3 to send those.
(You'd probably be better off making this thread on the WWE Mattel board)

I'm just looking to get some consistency in pricing as I plan to move a lot of boxes soon. By the way, this topic was moved from the general section over here so I don't know.....

There are several different sizes of self-sealing boxes provided by the USPS that work well, a thinner shorter one that fits one basic or two back to back, and a slightly thicker taller box that will fit one elite. Shipping varies greatly depending on where you are shipping to. Within my postal zone, one basic or elite is around $5, up to west coast being around $9. |

I can send a loose figure all the way from AZ to NY in a bubble mailer for less than 2$.
On that same note, it costs 7$-9$ to send a single MOC elite that far.
For a MOC basic it's somewhere in between the loose figure and MOC elite. Generally about 5$ or 6$.
If it helps, I can also send a lot of around 12 loose LARGE elites (Yoko, Show, Nash, etc.) in a bubble mailer for around 12$. And I use NY as an example as it's the most expensive place for me to ship from here in AZ.

Thanks Dubs, I live in SD and don't want to get ripped on shipping when buying/selling thru here or the Bay

No problem, man. Yeah, you're real close then so those estimates shouldn't vary by more than about .50$

Order free boxes from usps.com. I think these work best: 1092, 1095, 1097 and 07. That should be all you need.

I've sold many a figures in the past 6 months. I ship all my loose figs in padded bubble mailers that I buy at Walmart. You can get a pack of 12 for like $6. The average cost for a loose figure is around $2 for first class to pretty much anywhere in the US. Canada is around $4 & almost all international locations are around $7.
My MOC figs I wrap in bubble wrap and ship in USPS Priority Mail boxes that you can order free from USPS.com. The average single figure cost about $5-$6 within the US depending on location. Canada is about $5-$6 for First Class. Haven't shipped MOC overseas yet but I'm guessing it will be around $11-$12. 2 Packs you can add about $1.50-$2.00 to the price for US. I've only shipped one 2 pack MOC so far so I don't know international prices. But use the shipping calculator on USPS.com and plan on about 1lb 3oz-1lb 6oz or so for the shipping weight.

Loose in an envelop is $2. $3 with tracking.
Domestic boxes in PO usually run $5-7 with tracking for Moc figs depending on weight.
