Shipping Box Suggestions for PSA... Fedup.

bustsomewax · 01-19-2022, 09:48 PM

Ok, incredibly frustrated as I've had my last two orders be rejected by PSA as they claim the package delivered by FedEx may be tampered with. Both times the cards were fine, box not damaged.

The only thing I can think of is I reused a box both times and it looked a little weathered with old tape. But this is what I've always done, almost 10 orders in past.

I'm really at a loss at this point and it's not fun trying to get your package back from FedEx. Does anyone have a specific box and tape they use? I can't believe I'm even asking this, but I guess I don't know how to properly send a box in PSAs eyes.

Dont use old boxes. Use new boxes and new tape.

I always use an 8x8x8 cardboard box unless it’s a larger shipment.

Thanks for the quick replies. I'll try using a new box.

While some supplies can be reused, don't make the package look like it may be resealed. You may also wish to consider using that paper tape with strings inside.

You can also put them in a mylar bag. I send mine in a usps small flat rate box inside a padded flat rate envelope

I use these when sending via USPS https://www.duckbrand.com/products/m...-8-in-x-475-in

The materials are pretty solid, and it's about a dollar.

Send via registered mail!

I always reuse the boxes that PSA uses to ship cards to me (never had a problem).

I always send in a brand new USPS priority box, either small flat rate or one of their 8x8x8 cubes.
