I was wondering if anyone knows the cheapest way to send bulk cards.

I've shipped large amounts in the past but only cards with a fairly high value, so I've never worried about the shipping. Now, however, I'm trying to send bulk foils/commons/uncommons/rares and am trying to do it cheap.

Anyone know the best size envelope or box for, let's say, 1000 cards? I want them to be safe.

There is no cheap way to send bulk cards.

Otherwise, ship it in a box over land.

This. MOTL value on bulk un/commons is about the cost of shipping, probably less.

i guess i understand that the bulk commons and uncommons won't work, but I can get about $50 for 1000 bulk foils, and $100 for 1000 bulk rares, so I was just trying to figure out the cheepest way.

thanks anyway guys.

Priority flat rate boxes work best.

If you can be creative, you can do 1000 in a priority flat rate envelope.

2 500 count boxes, pack it like 2 bricks side by side, tape the top shut with priority mail tape.

That's what I do. I put them in starter boxes though, so it's less of a brick.

The only way to ship is with a large amount, you can ship an item cross country for pretty cheap but it must be eral bulk. You can do it less then $1/lb when doing multiple 5rows.
