Yeah, my bad, those are Bud Jones racks.
In my defence, they hold Matsuis better than Bud Jones. Go figure.

Poker Chip Shipping Tips and Tricks (4 Viewers)

I found BJ boxes to be quite decent, honestly. But not for displaying, of course. Only storing.
I'd use two white cardboard boxes inside a SFRB, put that inside a SFRB, inside a PFRE. inside another PFRE.
Depends. 200 chips will fit in a Priority padded envelope, but will only be under the maximum weight (4 lbs) if the chips average well under 9g each.
Probably will require either a Priority MFRB or a smaller First Class package. The latter is less expensive, but takes longer with no tracking.

I just went to USPO and weighed them...packed in one MFRB and some packaging materials, it was exactly 5lbs. If I find a smaller box to ship them in , and use some more packing material, I assume the weight will still be 5lbs.
I just shipped 200 chips (around 10.5g) plus a few other minor items using the method I described and it came out to 5.1 lbs. I guess not useful for international shipping but still a good way to save $6 if its CONUS.
I agree. PFRE are awesome for up to two racks of chips. I use a similar packing to yours, but only for CONUS. I do recognize that this is the reason many sellers on PCF only ship to CONUS, especially as the International shipping choices are very limited and expensive. I am just trying to save our friend in the U.K. a few bucks (y) :thumbsup:
Yeah, UPS international prices are insane. Plus they really stick it to the recipients re: handling fees, broker fees, and taxes. Fuck those guys. Try DHL instead:

You can get around the brokering fees which both UPS and FedEx are asking by (as receiver) making an account with them and putting credit card information on file so they can auto-charge it, but they made that fairly hard for the average Joe. Forget website self-service. Need to call them.

First class international package service is limited to 4lbs, and has an optional delivery notification (tracking), depending on the destination.

The two racks of minty Paulsons + packing materials is just an ounce shy of 5lbs, so I am going to use 5lbs. as the weight.

Best way to ship 3 racks? I only worry because it is a weird number (just a tad too big for small flat rate and to small for med flat rate) and I don't want them bouncing around instead a medium or large box.
Still MFRB just add extra padding.
If you do try ^ let us know how it turns out !

Probably wont be able to experiment too much as I will be going during lunch and on a short time window, but I will keep the padded envelope in mind next time.

Where do you get the heavy craft paper? I save it when I get some with shipped items but I never have enough.

Amazon, this is medium paper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AI6535S
I made my own holder/dispenser with some pipe.
Well, in a way, it *is* the cartel, just a different type of recreational product.
Ty. Nice solution!

Thanks for all the info. This thread has been very informative to me!
Always the best shipping by @Tommy
I have dug for a while and have come up with inconclusive results. What is the best way to ship 1 - 4 buttons domestically in US and to Canada?
USPS I imagine but...
Flat rate or regular postage?
Bubble wrapped envelop from store or something from USPS?
