Who makes the best boxes for shipping albums. Not bulk, just a few at a time


I need to buy boxes to ship albums that I'm selling.  I have bought them in the past, but don't recall where I got them.  I checked the forums to see if I could find something in the archives, but all of what I found was unrelated.  I appreciate any info on a good source for a good box!

Mofimadness, I wish I was closer to CO.  I keep the boxes too, but I'm down to my last couple. 

If the OP is anywhere near Northern Colorado, I have a garage full of top-notch LP mailers that I would be more than happy to give you some for free.  I have lots & lots.

Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct, Plaidroom Records, etc.  I only keep the really nice ones.  I've thrown away/recycled hundreds of the plain jane type mailers.

Anyone who is close and needs some, please let me know.

I save the cartons I receive LP's in, the one used by Acoustic Sounds being the best. That way when I ship I don't need to buy one.

IF you are selling collectibles, buyers will pay, AND give you high feedback for your excellent/safe packaging, which gives future buyers confidence, your list of satisfied customers grow.

My methods, more common R2R tapes/LP's, I have 100% rating. I stopped for a while, I've got to get back to selling. Even desirable rock, say bid up to $75., I shipped with my .60c box/inner spring, happy customer.

Best: for me is least expensive to keep shipping cost down for buyer.

I’m not selling collectibles, so I can keep it simple, and keep shipping costs down, nothing fancy: lp in it’s sleeve, in a box. watch your unit price, look out for excess shipping costs

here’s .60c each, free delivery (add tax).

They fold, either 1/2" or 1". Typically: just 1/2/3 lps Inside: I use usps priority mail stiff envelopes tripled over. like a spring, to take up the extra inside height, cushion the lp/lps if only a few. fed ex letter envelopes the same, any stiff cardboard that can be rolled to be like a spring.

Recently I sent 100 to one nephew, 50 to the other. You can fit 8-10 lps in the 1" height, tape em tight, they all arrived safely.

If BEST means best method/protection for collectibles, that’s a whole different category of box.

I buy albums from Amazon, and the boxes they use are very protective (new lp with lp in the sleeve), I save the boxes. Others, remove the vinyl from the sleeve, add new static free liners, ...
