Thank you! These are really great tips. Also love the painting!

I’ve always bought bubble wrap via eBay. Followed your tip and going direct to an online supplier saved me 25%. Great videos. Thank you

I like the FedEx airfloat system. It has made my life easier.

[@goodwill_hunting]

American bubble boy is by far the best deal out there. And they are so fast with shipping

[@the1stime]

Great painting!! Are you still using American Bubble Boy? Looks like their prices have went up substantially. Any other resources? Thanks

[@loricrawford8426]

Which do you find best for shipping? USPS, Fed Ex or UPS?

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

I've got to ship 13 pieces of artwork overseas, all different sizes. I don't know where to start. I don't have any boxes at all. I do have lots of bubble wrap and foam wrap

[@Detached_AZ]

I was hoping you would have put a link to the bubble wrap store !!!!

[@EZchairchillen]

take 10 seconds and google it, not that difficult

[@rebeccabulvanoski11]

How much would that painting cost you to send total? Do you have an estimate for that?

[@TreasureHuntingDad]

It really depends on where it's going. Anywhere on the east coast or the midwest is usually not bad. It gets expensive to send to the southwest, northwest, and west coast. Probably in the range of $25-$60.

[@sjconley52]

I'm curious... how much larger is the box, than the painting itself? For instance, if your painting is 30" x 30", is your box 33" x 33"? Also, do the shippers really pay attention to the FRAGILE stickers or do you have to pay for added insurance with the carrier?

[@ceciliachacon3873]

I'm a carrier for the post office, I've seen boxes flying through the air into the route bins, with and without stickers... the stickers don't matter in the behind the scenes area, now they do have stickers that you can get free through the post office, but the catch is, if you want to use those stickers, they will charge you the service of that "fragile" item. So based on my experience and my treasures, I use egg cartons the most for that added protection. But sadly if anything was to break they will still pin it on you the shipper, saying that you packed the item poorly...

​@@ceciliachacon3873 Question, I've been looking for canvas size boxes for my large paintings 25"x31" .. very hard to find boxes for this. Do you know if the postal services sell in this size? .. my 2nd question is, if I find my own canvas box for these large paintings, will USPS still pick it up from my home if it's this size or do I have to take it personally to the postal office? Thank you in advance.

@@BEAUTYinFullBeastModeWalmart has huge boxes they sell for a few dollars…tried them?

[@bonniepiehler693]
