When it comes to shipping, it pays to be prepared.
You need to have the right supplies

You need to get the supplies for as cheap as possible.
In this thread, I'll go over what supplies I use for shipping

Shipping tape :
This is a must. I buy mine from Costco.
Online price comes out to $3 per roll, but its cheaper if you buy it in person.
These also go on sale for $12.99 every few months! https://www.costco.com/scotch-heavy-duty-packaging-tape-8-pack.product.11748454.html

Bubble wrap:
I buy mine from Sam's Club.
It costs $12.99 for 240 ft. https://www.samsclub.com/p/scotch-bubble-cushion-wrap-240-sq-ft-roll/121568?xid=plp_product_1

Stuffing/wrapping paper:
This can be used to fill empty space in boxes to keep your item in place.
You can also use it to wrap around your items.
This is the one that I use https://www.amazon.com/Trimaco-12-inch-1000-feet-General-Purpose/dp/B000KKQE00/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=Brown%2BShipping%2BPaper&qid=1603939590&sr=8-8&th=1

Boxes:
I have never paid for boxes.
I ask family members to save their Amazon boxes for me.
I also look for free boxes on Facebook & classifieds pages.

Priority Mail Boxes:
These boxes are free but you have to pay a flat rate for using the box.
These boxes are great for heavy items like weights.
You can find them at your post office or you can order them online.

Box resizer tool:
I'm a big fan of resizing boxes.
It can help lower your shipping costs & protect your item within the shipping box.
There are cheaper versions of this tool on other websites so make sure you do research. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Vestil-Box-Size-Cutter-SIZER-4/303099819

These are all of the items I use for shipping.
They make my life a little easier & help me reduce my shipping costs.
