We use ecopolyjackets.com Not sure how cheap they are, we buy about several sizes at a time and that's something like £250-300 for 2-3000 depending on what sizes we're buying at the time, but they're degradable.

I only ever buy padded, jiffy type bags. I get those through Ebay as I can buy them reasonably even if I just buy 100 at a time.

Does anyone know where I can buy them in smaller quantities? I ended up buying some less eco-friendly ones last time as you have to buy each size in minimum quantities of 1000. I just don't need anywhere near that many of each size.

Who did you use Chell or do you use different sellers?
As i have never bought them what would you consider cheap for padded envelopes?

Thanks

I tend to use euroffice for my bubblewrap and brown paper (fell out with jiffy bags as they were never the sizes I needed!

I've foudn this place, I've never ordered from them but I like the fact that they will recycle your old polythene bags:

I kno you don't use our drop ship service, but would you be interested in buying 100 at a time. Am thinking I could order more in one go if I was selling them by the pack of 100 (they're conveniently packaged in 100s)
If so how much would you think fair to pay?

Ooh yes, definitely be interested. Don't know how much it is fair to pay though. You'll have to suggest a figure.

As for your drop ship service, I may well be in touch with you soon, as we are going on holiday. Do you offer drop shipping to cover holidays, or does it have to be on a continual basis?

Depends on what you want for holidays, but a lot of people log in online to their site for the orders, then order online with us what they need sending out.

My head is so befuddled at the moment I'm amazed if anything I write in here is following anyone else's thread...and even more amazed if anyone can follow what I am saying. Why did I think two under-2s was a great idea at the same time as trying to run a business?
