Juice - Shipping Questions

[Tennovan]

When swapping juice with others, is there a universally accepted method of shipping used? I ask because I have 6+ bottles (USA/Wowboy) I've considered throwing up for swap but since I rarely ship anything, I'm a bit lost there. I checked the various swap threads and didn't see info there.

Also, last time I sent something through Priority Mail, the PO lady simply threw my item in a box and I noticed it rattled around pretty easy. Should juices be sealed in a bag? What about packing material to prevent the bottles from moving around too much? Should packages be prepared at home or do post offices not care what's going in the box?

Alright I think that pretty much covers my noob question quota for the day. I've got more juice than I can use right now so the sooner I figure shipping out, the sooner they find a good home

USPS has Priority boxes, I would put them in a ziplock then in the box,, then use a stuffing like newspaper and pack it in there so nothing can move around, also tape all edges of the box really well,,, good to go. ! USPS will ask you if there is anything liquid, perishable, flammable, and so on, just say no and ship it !

Tennovan, as long as you are trading apples for apples, both parties pay their own shipping charges. If you do ship bottles a good trick it to take .... plugs, the ones that come out of the condoms or just pull them out and put them into the dropper, then seal the cap on.

If you don't vape Wow Cartos and don't have any, just run some tape over the top of the cap to keep it secured. Outside of that as mentioned, toss all of that into a ziploc baggy. When you go to ship wrap everything in a plastic bag (grocery store bag) and put it in a bubble envelope.

As well, always make sure to follow up after a trade to make sure your receiving party got everything.

Hope that helps....

I agree with Snow ,if its even trade , each pays own shipping .If its a gc or money order ,ask for an amount that is fair ,less the retail but not more then they( buyer) could get it cheaper on sale .Swap thread has worked very well for me and very fair so far.

p.s. usually just ship first class ,if its priority its gonna cost you more so if they want that ,get enough thats fair .

I tape the tops, put the stuff in a plastic bag, put in plain bubble mailer. Mail First Class Parcel Post and delivery confirmation (an extra 80 cents) is usually a good idea.

For the cost of the cheapest priority mail, you could probably buy a handful of 4x6" padded envelopes at Staples, and mail all of them first-class.

Just make sure the bottles are sealed and bagged and padded.
