Tip for Shipping to COMC

lisu · 09-30-2014, 01:00 PM

Hi - I recently discovered a new shipping via priority mail that has been working great for me and wanted to share with everyone. There is a large priority mail box size flat rate called board game size.

I am able to put in 6 400 card boxes horizontally, 3 300 card boxes vertically, and 1 200 count card box vertically. This is a lot more than I'm able to put into the regular large priority mail flat rate box.

Hope this type helps others out there!

great tip...I had to ship some toys overseas (APO) and it wouldn't fit in a normal box, woulda been $25 to ship, found the board game boxes online and it fit fine and shipped less than $15

nice to know how many can fit in the box for COMC though...

Thanks

The Board Game boxes will also fit 3 - 800 count boxes and 3 - 660 count boxes.

It will ship in the US for $15.80 (online price), or overseas for $76.50 (online price).

If shipping domestically, there is a 70 pound weight limit, which is hard to achieve unless you're shipping ball bearings. Overseas, the weight limit is 20 pounds, which is possible if you're shipping cards, so you want to keep an eye on that.

For smaller bulk lots, the Medium Flat Rate box will comfortably hold 3 - 550 count boxes (20 pound overseas weight limit), and the Flat Rate Priority Bubble Mailer will hold 2 - 400 count card boxes (4 pound overseas weight limit).

Man, I wish I would have known about these. I just shipped 9,000 cards for $100 Priority Mail.

I have been eyeing your Brandon Tate patch/auto for my UNC collection....any chance it's going on sale anytime soon?

Nice tip, didn't know about that box!
