I had that problem too. But I also had problems with the packages getting lost by the post office. I put a lot of work into my bows and it was not worth it if they lost them or smashed them. So, I started shipping everything priority mail. The post office will provide the DVD size box for free and you get to track the package (at the end, I have actually had them find lost packages since there was a barcode). Now, it does cost $4.60 to ship but that includes the shipping (up to 1 lb), box and tracking. It is still much cheaper than UPS. That price may not work for all of your customers but it may work for the ones with the stiffened bows.
Good Luck! |
