With my first, I pretty much only bought things and never sold anything. In the next couple of months I'd like to sell some diapers to fund a new stash. What's the best way to ship? How do you calculate the shipping in with PPD items? How do you choose the different types of packaging?

Polymailers are the cheapest, next seems to be bubble mailers. Anything in bigger lots or heavy, usually as much as you can stuff in a flat right box, as far as I can tell. Get an inexpensive kitchen scale so you can print shipping through paypal, and DC is cheap or free. Anything under 13 oz can go First Class with .19 DC, which usually runs me about $2-3 for a full diaper. Over 13 oz priority mail with DC is usually cheapest, or only .50 more for faster service. It's never less than $5. The most I've paid was $11 for a medium flat rate box stuffed full of diapers and inserts.

Thank you! Is USPS best, or UPS? I ask because our local USPS is a pain.

usps is usally cheapest unless it's pretty heavy/big and even then, usps is still prob cheapest depending on where it's going.

If you print a USPS label on paypal, you just hand it to the person behind the counter, you don't have to stand in line to pay for anything
