@Anthony do you get most books at 8oz with these, I find that tough to do. So I just add the reinforcement at no penalty weight wise (cost the same from 9-12oz)

The Matt’s mailers do weigh a little more than geminis, but not by a ton. I always sandwich the comic(s) between two cardboard pieces, but doing so makes it a challenge to get two books in under 12oz. Is sandwiching overkill? Does a single cardboard piece do the trick?

I simply secure the book inside the mailer inside an envelope. Nice tight and snug, have yet to have damage, can do 2 books under 12 ounces, 1 regular size bagged and boarded at 8 oz

Do you get it under 8 oz, or are you “rounding down” to 8?

I’m not sure what the PO policy is….I usually weight in a few tenths over so always nervous to round down. Never tried to pass that off.

From what I’ve read, always round up.

Thanks Anthony, DRog, loverjw for your answers.

I will look in to the 2mil thick bags, and will call Matt to discuss adjusting the shipping.

One more question:
Are the Current bags pretty snug around the comics or is there some space to accommodate maybe a slight older larger modern ?

Get the 7 inch bags. They have 6 3/4 and 7 inch. I like the bigger bags as you can fit more books (larger sized) in without it being too tight.

Reviving this topic just to reiterate the point. Matt’s Baseball Supplies is the best. I ordered a bunch of bags and boards, as they are vastly cheaper. They are on par with BCW. And, if there’s an issue, Matt always makes it right. Incredible customer service.

And, never assume the pricy shipping costs on the website are the best option. Email him with what you want and your zip, and he’ll give you a quote that is always cheaper. Often by a lot.
