I am selling hair bows an I don't want them to get squished when I ship them. I usually ship my items out in a bubble bag. Do they sell small boxes or is there a standed size u have to use when shipping an item. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

What about jewelry boxes?

I use the 4x4x4 boxes from uline for small items...they work great! www.uline.com

Do u think I can purchase them at staples?

Those boxes are the perfect size for a lot of things!

Probably not. You can order them online though.

You wouldn't want to buy them at staples, you'd be paying a lot more for them. If you don't want to buy a ton, try searching on eBay, you may be able to find a smaller lot to buy.

You can pass the love here. Lots of choices, but you'll likely have to narrow your search for the size you need:

If you don't mind shipping priority you can order small priority flat rate boxes online at usps.com. They are totally free and they get delivered to your house. I think the small flat rate price is $5.50. :)
