If you're on the app it is confusing, on the website it's not. The first paragraph is the update, bolded in red on the website. The rest is the original post before the update.

However you can't tell that on the app.

ETA: You can get padded FRE's and such free from usps website, among many others. You shouldn't ever really have to pay for shipping supplies beyond tape or something, unless you need a box they don't offer as free

I don't ship in flat rates, regularly though. I do get those supplies free though, if i do! I just end up with lots of envelopes that I can reuse and that's important to me too so I just tape the heck out if it

I understand the desire to reuse envelopes or use Manila ones because they're cheaper, but isn't using a bunch of mailing tape just as expensive as buying a polymailer? Depending on how much tape you use, it might not be any better environmentally either.

These are really common sense things. I hate non-bubbled Manila envelopes!

A co-op for them would be pretty cool, maybe post it in the co-op chat and see if a host wants to pick it up and see if this company will do wholesale. That would be really great, I have never seen those eco ones, looks really good.

Ok, I have searched everywhere for the co-op forum...I can't find it! Is there something I am missing? Do I have to have a certain number of posts or something for it?
