Sending products in UPS international envelope
You mean the express envelopes? They're pretty bad for anything not flat. Have you looked at the bubble mailers? If it's flat enough to fit well and you haven't had issues with stuff getting broken, it shouldn't matter. More on reddit.com

r/UPS on Reddit: Sending products in UPS international envelope
December 17, 2020 -

Anyone have experience with sending samples or small products in UPS Envelopes Internationally? I've done it like 10 times over the years in the past, no issues. I created the shipping label the other day, then I read on the envelopes I had that you are not supposed to put products in the envelopes only documents or electronic media. I was like whatever, I've done it before I'll just send it see what happens. Hopefully it won't be a problem?

Shipping cost was $26 to Sweden, vs $40+ if I use my own packaging. Weight <8oz.

Hi, I’ve been using Pirate ship to send UPS packages for a couple months now, but today my quotes look insanely expensive. These are padded 11x9 envelopes to send within the US. Everything under 1 pound. Is this normal? Thanks
