What is the cheapest way to ship mylar and latex balloons?

What is the cheapest way to ship mylar and latex balloons WITH tracking?

I'm afraid to put them in an envelope with stamps. People might lie and tell me they didn't receive their order.

  • Send it certified which requires a signature?

  • Don't do that! Just send it however you want and pay for delivery confirmation. I think you can add it to any peice of mail, but you do have to go to the post office.

    Thanks everyone!

     I want to keep the shipping under $3.00. Can I use a regular manila envelope and ship priority?

  • I'd bring a sample package to your local post office and explain what you're looking for. They're actually really good at helping you price out your best option there :)

    They actually have plain Priority envelopes that are free. Definitely go to the post office with what you have and ask them the cheapest way to send it with still having a tracking number.  Priority mail also automatically includes $50 in insurance too.
