Just thought I'd let you know I was at officeworks today and they had a 50 pack of bubble mailers of various sizes on sale for only $5, so if you are out and about you might want to check it out as it's a great deal.
They don't have the declaration stuff, but i've used these a lot for Australian based deals and they've gone out fine. Don't know if this will affect international shipping.
I have been using the office works padded bags for 12 months and have had only one not received claim so they appear to be ok for international shipping
Wow didn't see this thread but glad I did.. I just went and got 15 boxes..
I have also never had any problems with using non Aus Post mailers.. I never use Aus post because they're a rip off and I just use Officeworks or bulk lots from Ebay etc.. Posted well over 1000 of them in the last few years and never had any problems.
Thanks for the tip mate. Just ran out and grabbed a couple of boxes. Probably wont ever use the huge ones, but they may come in handy as bubble wrap or I'll try to modify them.

Same I likely wont use the big ones but for the price of 5 small ones you just can't say no to this price.. Thanks for the heads up @KB. I think you saved us all some coin by letting us know.
I always used to re-use the yellow mailers I got from the US. If I could pull off the printed shipping label it was fine most of the time or just stick a plain bit of paper over the top. I just used to sign at the bottom and never had a drama once. Probably did this 50 times over the years.
I've now got 25 boxes and every store I went to I have had to ask them where they are as they weren't on display and either high on a shelf or out the back on a pallet. I'm sure if you ask someone they will get them for you if they have them in stock.
Yeah possibly went over the top but at that price it doesn't matter how long they sit around for I will end up using them.. Already used over half a box just last week.. If I find more I'll likely grab another 5-10 boxes lol
Picked up 2 x boxes from my local Officeworks tonight! $10 for all those bubble mailers! woo hoo! thanks for the thread I think you saved a lot of people a lot of money with this one!!!!
