@ A1, we love collecting as much as you do !
I do not have time to read every reply here this morning but here is one reason why you should never send cards in envelopes !!!!
One of my relatives is involved in the postal system and from what I am told, all plain envelope mail are run through a sorting machine and padded mail bags do not
(Being run through a machine is probably not the best way for your cards to travel)
Also not sure how the bubbles protect from the rain so team bags all the way for me

Well in the country next door that is much better than Australia, the bubble mailers themselves are kinda plasticy, so that help protect from rain. Also rather than rain soaking through a plain envelope it's got further to go (through bubbles) so it's all-round a better option.

yep, i worked in a mail sorting facility in the central west of NSW for a while. those machines are brutal if you get a jam up..
bubble mailers are sorted by hand. they are 'placed/thrown' into bin corresponding with their desination, but its far less savage than the machine.
if its an absolute must you send in a PWE, send it in a big square one. the sorting machine cant handle these..
but bubble mailers are the best !
I had an interesting one a while ago from overseas. Received in bubble mailer so no worries there. But I had bought 2 cards. They were both in a penny sleeve each, in between 2 toploaders. Now I know this is a good way to send a handful of cards sometimes, but why not put 1 card in 1 toploader, and the other card in the other toploader??

I had that exact thing happen to me today; 2 cards in between 2 toploaders... and the toploaders had 'freebie' cards in them too!

Not from someone here I hope!
The cheek of Australia Post............how's this, packaged up some cards to send to a collector off OCT just before Xmas, wanted Xpress post...........no probs, get the cards packaged and in a bubble mailer and take that to the post office. Tell the staff I want to send it express, they weigh and measure the bubble mailer for thickness and sell me a B4 Express Post envelope. I address it, put the bubble mailer inside it and off it goes.
Get a letter from AUPOST today for that parcel demanding payment of $4.50 because of insufficient postage............I ring the 13 number, they tell me that it was over a certain thickness so I explained the above. Putting the bubble mailer in the B4 envelope made it too thick but fortunately they waived the fee because my argument was sufficient and they accepted that...........I so very much wish we had another option than AUPOST..................
