What do I do when there are only 2 cuttings? I have a couple orders like that. I don't want to pay $5.60 for a small flat rate. Any one have any idea? Preferably with USPS

Put in a bubble envelope and add a tracking number, costs about $3

Thank you. I will try that. I am going tommarow

Armando,

Not sure that soaking cuttings before mailing is a standard practice.  Seems to me that this might add to the chance of rotting cuttings when trying to start them.

I ship wrapped in a wet-then-wrung-out paper towel then wrapped tight in a grocery bag, then put that in some kind of container and ship w/ PayPal for $3.  None have ever rotted or molded in transit. 

Just a piece of moist paper and tight wrapped plastic... ziplock, bread bags, in an envelope, for 2 sticks you will pay about $2,50 to $3.  If cutting are fat (1" or more) it may be a bit more. Post office is the way to do small packages.  regular mail envelopes, recycled, bubbled or not.. it all goes

This might be repetitive but...
Wrap cuttings in Moist papertowels,
Put in ziplock bag,
Place in bubble wrap envelope,
Don't forget to write address on envelope before you put cuttings in.
It makes rough writing with sticks in there. Been there, done that. Two envelopes later.

Good Stuff.....Just new to dealing with cuttings this year.....I haven't had any mold issues in soaking them, maybe because the water the city supplies has fluoride......I kept track of some cuttings I started and noticed that the soaked ones, rooted quicker and stronger...????.......

Moist not wet paper towels, zip lock bag with the air sucked out. Usps 2-3 day shipping.

Before posting on Ebay - usually same day i cut them take pictures of exactly what im selling them add name on paper and wrap them in plastic wrap then write on outside what they are again store in crisper and after auction payment they are shipped.

A kind forum member sent me extra ID tags made from aluminum soda cans in the package. Thought that was a super generous thing to do, and I plan to do the same in the future. Some jerk throw an empty beer can on your lawn? Hey, turn it into something useful. :)

dry cutting are better than wet, coz water can trigger molding, or you can use fungicide powder

I wrap in cling film and post, I also store any the same way in the fridge.
Wet cutting get mold to fast.

USPS 1st class. 

I like USPS Priority mail service, mostly the small boxes.  Cuttings I send are dry, placed in a Zip-Lok storage bag and damp, squeezed out long spaghnum moss mixed in sparingly.  Lightly dampened paper towels also work well. Too much moisture in the shipping bag seems to be worse (causing mold), than not enough. From 8 to 20+ fig cuttings will go in  a Priority mail small box, plus the convenience of taking the box home free in preparing shipments and todays cost is $5.80 sent across the US.  Padded envelopes work well for few cuttings but the envelopes can seldom be purchased one at a time.

Dieseler, I tried to contact you back last year but your email kept getting returned to me. I do still have what you are looking for my friend and would love you trade cuttings with you. pm me as I can't pm you.
