Hi guys, im looking to sell off some basics and elites (all MOC) from my collection. Thing is though i've never sold any online. I live in the U.S. and will be using USPS.
I'd like to ask you whats the the best way to ship figures? is priority mail a good option, are there other better options? What boxes should i use for basics and which ones should i use for elites or for both on some occasions? How can i avoid the carding from being damaged during shipping? Also should i avoid shipping internationally?
Thanks guys.

go to your local post office and see the different sized boxes they offer. If you choose the flat rate boxes or priority mail boxes they are free of charge. Use bubble wrap and or foam peanuts to use as filler and protection. If you know the weights of your packages, exact shipping costs can all be totaled on there website.

On the new basics most can ship first class which is only $3.38 if you print your label online. Just make sure they are under 13 oz. The USPS doesn't have a box that works well for those so look around for a good box. I ship elites in a #7 box through USPS. They are usually under 2lbs and range from $5.58 to $8.65 for me. Hope this helps!

The biggest pain is gonna be shipping basics, only because they can be shipped first class in most cases (unless it's a heavy figure: Clay, Khali, etc) but the problem is finding small boxes that aren't heavy. Elites are easier because they'll most likely ship via priority mail and the post office carries these boxes at no extra charge.
Oh, and I suggest staying away from shipping international. The rates are ridiculous now.
