If I sell a loose figure and I ship in a bubble mailer, which USPS service do I choose to make shipping as inexpensive as possible?
I also want to be able to print the shipping without needing go to the post office? Can you only get Prioroty shipping online?

First class for a single figure of two is the cheapest.

Get a scale, and print your own labels. It'll save you sooooooo much money..
First class pretty much anywhere in the US is roughly $3.50

Buy the 6 X 9 padded envelopes. You can print shopping label at home or take it in to post office. First class. Both ways cost the same for me at about $2.75 a piece

Is First Class available for larger packages? Is it always considerably cheaper than Prioroty?

First class is available for any package up to 15.9 ounces in weight. And yes, it will always be cheaper than Priority (at least it has been in my experience).

The slowest way is the Titanic. I'm still waiting for my great grandmother to arrive. :/

OR use priority mail which provides a tracking # for you and the buyer. Its the fastest and also safer way than in a bubble mailer. The boxes are free and come in multiple sizes. You can ship it based on its weight or choose the flat rate boxes (if it fits, it ships). Make the buyer pay for the exact shipping cost...
In a bubble mailer your risking loss/damage/and no proof of shipment unless you add tracking to it

Just ask The Rock if you can borrow one of his roided out messenger pigeons.

People seem really happy to get the figures two days later, and you don't need to purchase any materials. Just show up to the post office with the figures, grab some of the boxes and take them up when you are finished. The boxes are easy to assemble and have adhesive strips so there is no need for tape. I usually include some bubble wrap just to take extra care of the figure while it is transit. |

Just put a stamp right on the figures face and write the address on the figures back.
The new basic Duggan figure comes pre-stamped

In a bubble mailer your risking loss/damage/and no proof of shipment unless you add tracking to it Priority is always preferred, but the minimum expense is more than $6. If you're shipping a single, loose figure, that can be cost prohibitive. |

Least expensive? Put a stamp on it and toss it in the mailbox.

I just say send the cheapest way that provides a tracking.

Definitely print the label through Ebay. Input the weight and it will give you several options to choose from and you get a discount through them.
