I've been looking into comapies to order my next batch of liquid and I just can't get over the shipping charges. I think more companies should use envelope sized shipping, which for liquid would obviously not be too good an idea.
UNLESS there was a package made for envelopes
. I'm thinking a sealed bag of durable plastic, within a secondary bag for additional protection. I know there are padded envelopes available, but maybe that would increase the price too much. 10-30ml would be almost unnoticed in an envelope. Here's a quick google search for similar products.

This would reduce shipping costs for the customer, and reduce packaging costs for the distributors. No boxes or bottles are needed. We all have enough of those damn bottles already.
This may all be impossible to impliment due to rules about liquids in envelopes. But I've never rcieved a letter that was stabbed or bent in any way. In fact every envelope I've ever gotten was crisp and like new (unless it rained that day which wont be a problem for the plastic).
Some testing would be needed to find a suitable sealer and plastic thickness, but It would greatly improve my shopping experience. I'm from Canada, and in order to bypass customs, I order from canadian distributors. However, our distributors aren't quite as stocked as in the US. In fact, because of health canada, some of the best distributors dont carry nic liquid, which almost removes them from my list of viable distributors.
TL:TD Shipping is BAD, envelopes are CHEAP, use envelopes-->save money-->happy customers
