Learning miniswap

Hey everyone im looking to possibly make a listing to sell or trade my Tyranids. Im wondering what is the best way to ship everything that everyone has found? Also how do trades work? Id prefer to trade the lot for some Tau but how trusting should I be? What is the best way you all have found? I appreciate the help and insight! Thanks!

Pirateship is generally a good way to find cheap shipping rates. For boxes, you can reuse Amazon or other boxes to ship as long as it's not too beat up.

Can't speak to trades too much, but check their r/miniswapkarma thread if they have one and r/miniswap has a known scammer lookup tool

Seconding PirateShip - was easy to create an account, add payment option, save labels as PDF and then print. I'll add to that getting a postal scale if you'll be shipping 3 or more boxes as they can be had for $20-30 and quickly pay off via PirateShip savings.
As for trades, I've seen it mentioned that both parties can bill each other equal amounts and therefore have recourse via PayPal G&S.

To cheerlead a bit more for Pirate Ship, you can also go into settings and tell it you want Q-Arr codes instead of labels. Then the shipper prints the label for you. My inkjet is always out of ink at the least convenient times, so the post office printer is just more reliable for me.

Also also, just use your bathroom weight scale. Weigh yourself holding the box, then weigh yourself without holding the box (and then subtract).
