I'm mostly looking for bubble mailers the size that fit a standard DVD case. I've been getting them at Office Max (or Depot, I forget which) because the last time I looked I couldn't find them cheaper (shipped) online anywhere. Maybe I just suck at finding the good deal, though. Anyone have a good place? I wouldn't have a problem buying in qty, say 50 or 100 at a time.

Your best bet is smaller online retailers who specialize in this stuff. You'll always find a better deal there when compared to Office Max/Depot/Staples/etc. Unfortunately I don't have any specific links to provide, as I stopped selling DVDs/CDs years ago, but I'm sure you can find one without a problem.

I got mine on ebay actually. I bought a ton of them a long time ago and I still havn't run out. I think they came to about 2 cents a piece but I waited for the best deal I could find.

Same here. Picked up a huge box of CD mailers from eBay. Worked out to around 12 cents per mailer.

I buy all of my bubble mailers from esupplystore. You can get em' right off of ebay, they ship super fast, and they are reliable.

I've bought from them at least 5 different times and each transaction has been excellent. Highly recommended.

I buy my mailers from a store on ebay. The user is threerb. I have bought from him several times. I catch his auctions and get 250 6x10 mailers for about $25 dollars or about 10 cents per.

I just get mine off eBay. It's highly competitive. I add in shipping and calculate the price per piece. I buy my #0 bubble mailers, my 3 part Dymo internet mailers, my tape and recently I bought my record mailers. I bought cases of tape, kind of a pain to store, but apparently a coup considering the price went up in the last year because it's made of petroleum products. I bought a case of black tape for covering up errant barcodes on my boxes. Although I seem to manage with spare labels from international shipping lately (the 3 part labels have a spare label when you print an international label with Endicia).

I never really hold to one vendor, their prices vary and they sometimes charge less on eBay to be competitive. If you buy alot you could probably get your own volume discount, but I sell a crapload and I don't even come close to doing that.
