I have a question for all of you professional traders!  I'm so jealous of how awesome you guys do, getting to help people get what they want and in turn getting extras of what you need.  I've joined the club and am putting my big toe in.  But I'm coming up against a problem.  So far I'm involved with an amazing trade for 3 months of Canadian beauty boxes for 3 months of U.S. beauty boxes with an awesome MakeUpTalker.  She researched everything and I know that postage will be a fair amount on that size of package going internationally, but we both know that and it's similar for both parties and if mine is a bit over, I'll Paypal her to make it even (because I broke down and subbed for just one more box than she did. . . they call my name, what can I say??

Anyway, I've participated in one other swap so far with a great partner and we were both very happy.  But I think I'm doing the postage thing wrong.  I sent her a Skindinavia 4 oz. Makeup Finishing Spray and put it in a large Ziplock bag, rolled that and rolled it in 3 layers of colored tissue and tied it with a ribbon.  I added a notecard to thank her and some extra tissue for cushioning on top and bottom.  I used a padded bubble envelope (I recycled on of the bright pink MyGlam mailers) and went to USPS.com and bought postage on there.  I overguesstimated that it was 8 oz. just to be sure so that she wouldn't run into any problems and it ended up being about $6.75.  Is that right?  Am I using the wrong type of postage?  It was from Florida to California.  How do you all do it?  What is your average mailing price?  I'd love to do way more trades, but if it gets to be too expensive for mailing then it seems that I may get a better deal just buying the samples.  Could you please help?  I have so many great products that I'd love to swap and give appreciative homes and there are a few things out there that I'd love to get extras of.  Thanks so much in advance, you guys are the best.  Feel free to pm me if you don't want to put your "business" out there, or I'm sure that other girls are wondering the same thing if you want to post here.

 I would like to know how most of the people do postage too. I've shipped a few things recently for my first trades but I'm also worried about the costs of shipping eventually becoming more than the trades are worth. Getting tracking numbers also adds to the cost of shipping and, being a broke college student, I don't have a lot of money to spend on mailing things. What do most of you here do for your shipping to be able to keep doing trades?

Mine is around $2 for each trade (some are $1.90 some are $2.35). I send first class. Delivery confirmation is $.85-- and I don't typically use it unless someone requests it because I have good feedback. They usually arrive in 2-3 days.

 
Also, reuse shipping mailers and check out the local dollar store for packing supplies. I use a digital scale and stamps.com /paypal for printing labels.

I started a thread awhile back about printing first class postage at home. https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/126420/printing-usps-shipping-labels-at-home#post_1891845 Hope this helps some of you!
