Great video! You can still use the my post business at the post office. You just scan your QR code when you get there. Main thing I recommend is to keep an eye on the scale if it’s over 500g then they need to scan the bag first for it to go through as flat rate.

Great & easy to follow guide guys. The one cheap postage method that people overlook & I have had most success with is the Australia Post prepaid untracked envelopes. You have to buy in bulk of at least 50 but you save min 0.55 cents + the cost of the envelope when the weight of the large letter is over 125g. It works out at $3.05 instead of $3.60. You are also allowed to put up to a max of 500g in weight meaning multiple dvd sets, heavier books can go in there too which can save you up to $3+ on a postage when the weight goes over 250g, it still has to be less than 20mm width. Finally they have no expiry so when there is a price rise, stock up and you can maintain the same cost of postage for longer. Cheers guys! 🙃

I buy my $1.20 stamps for 85-95 cents each buying in bulk on eBay. Then I buy padded mailers for 22 cents each, because buyers don't like dvds sent unprotected in paper envelopes. With tracked things, I always put a layer of bubble wrap before putting it in the envelope. Buyers like padding.

eBay are 'penalising' folk for not using tracking on items, so now I send dvds using one of the tracked envelopes - dependent if it's more than 2cm thick, as they won't process it if it's wider than that... which is usually complete set dvds etc. I'll then use a small box or satchel, and also do this if it's an item over $25 - especially for more expensive dvds. I also use the bubble-wrap insert to protect the discs + wrapping the complete lot in bubble wrap to avoid damage and possible return claims.

It won't matter you set MPB as small and end up using your own mail material as long as the actual package weight is less than 500g, same as 1kg.

I won't recommend the use of eBay to do label printing as they're giving you retail price (same as going to post office).
