Shipping question on Yarn

[tea_for_moosie]

Good Afternoon

There used to be a crafting section here, but I don't see it anymore.  

Can any crafters/knitter/crocheters tell me if it would be acceptable to mail several skeins of yarn in a polly mailer as long as it is not overstuffed?  Or would you prefer to receive it in a box?  

I picked up some nice yarn this weekend and want to mail it in the correct way so any buyer is happy 

Thank you

I do this often to save on shipping costs.  So far no complaints.

I'd toss each skein into  the cheapest ziplock bag I could find and then throw them in poly bags for shipping.  That would help prevent tangling, sticking to the seal strip and any accidental water exposure.

I ship large quantities in a box but small quantities in envelops.

Definitely agree you should put them into plastic bags first in case of moisture.

My rule of thumb regarding using padded envelopes/poly mailers.

If it' ok being stepped on, it's ok to use a padded envelope/poly mailer.

I frequently buy yarn here Ziploc bag inside poly mailer works for me.

I think that would probably be fine, as it wouldn't be harmed if it got squished under something heavy.

Thank you all.  I just wanted to make sure the buyer wouldn't be upset if it did get squished/flattened during shipping and definitely intend to put in a ziplock first.
