i'm gonna try and sell an andrew flintoff dvd i got for xmas that i already have on ebay. however, i've never sent a dvd and i know i might look like a thick prick here but i presume it will cost more to send than a normal stamp and the the envelope might need to be reinforced with something (that bubbles stuff??). How do I do this? If i take it to the post office will they sort it out for me?
as you can see i really have no idea, so any help would be appreciated

it will cost about 75p first class (not recorded)
dvds are safe just in brown paper, or you can splash out on a dvd-size jiffy bag which they can sell you in the post office for about 35p

as you can see i really have no idea, so any help would be appreciated if your selling it on ebay the customer pays the cost of delivery so i would put it into a Jifi bag and send it special delivery. That way the customer know he will get it and it will definitely arrive. no point just sending first class. special delivery all the way. |

If normal post or recorded then you have no come back if it goes missing.
you can claim up to £30 with recorded, so he'd be alright for sending a dvd i'm gonna try and sell an andrew flintoff dvd i got for xmas that i already have on ebay. however, i've never sent a dvd and i know i might look like a thick prick here but i presume it will cost more to send than a normal stamp and the the envelope might need to be reinforced with something (that bubbles stuff??).

as you can see i really have no idea, so any help would be appreciated if your selling it on ebay the customer pays the cost of delivery it depends on what you specified in the listing. basically if you're paying for it, send it 1st class (75p) and maybe give them the option of upgrading if they pay extra if they are, ask them if they want recorded or special delivery. you'll need to fill out a form |
