Well, are you a shop?

What's wrong with a jiffy bag or normal envelope?

This. Generally free, cut them down to the required size and tape the **** out of it.

Most supermarkets have those huge recycling metal bins that are often full to the brim with cardboard boxes, just take some from there.

The Range is quite good for this sort of packaging/posting stuff, at not-insane prices.

Buy boxes lol......

Go to a supermarket??? Free box's

supermarkets don't really have boxes any more, everything is in little card display trays or shallow cardboard crates with a big hole in the middle or stacked loose on a pallet and shrink wrapped or in plastic re-usable crates that go back to the warehouse after

you might get lucky with crisp boxes but they are usually big

While on the face of it, that sounds eminently sensible, I’ve always found that if I Google, e.g. invisible mending, South London only, among the one that’s in Streatham or close, there’ll be Glasgow, Truro, and maybe Windsor, Ontario.
