mandaleepandalecki - do NOT use a bubble mailer if you can avoid it. I made the same mistake when I first started out - they don't protect from creases made by direct hits. Less likely to be bend by the mailman, but they're far from perfect.
Photo mailers are best - available at Staples for $1 apiece... or use a regular large envelope with a piece of cardboard/cardstock.
I ALWAYS use photomailers, and it's very, very rare that I ever experience damage. The last time I did, the envelope literally had tire marks on it - nothing could have saved it, and it still wasn't in bad shape.
