Mikey and Wendy try to make and ship some Thrift Scores while traveling in the Northwest.
Being on the road while running an eBay store can be very challenging. Even with their store on full vacation mode, Mikey and Wendy are still dealing with returns and making sure customers are happy. Meanwhile, they’re trying to keep selling their travel finds using Flat Rate Padded Envelopes in the Northwest. “FRPE”s are a rarity at local Post Offices, as many don’t carry them and the USPS.com store limits customers to 90 per order per day. Why? We don’t know. But they are one of the best deals for shipping items everywhere in the US.

Leave a comment and let us know!
