    Hello! This video is me showing how I personally package up and sell kpop albums. You don't have to do it my way, I'm just showing you what I do.
    I got the bubble mailers from Staples and Walmart
    I got the bubble wrap from my own packages (I reused)
    I got the tape from Walmart
    It might be hard to answer questions about creating the labels myself unless you are from Canada yourself. I can't speak for USPS or other postal services other than Canada Post.
    Thanks for watching~

    OMG I feel you, the ladies at the post office where I used to live were so rude that I eventually started going farther to send photocards. Now where I live the lady is actually super nice so I have no problem anymore. It was super informative since I live in Canada and never sent anything without going to the post office!

    When people see your video they will RUSH to buy your extra albums :D
    You reuse bubblewrap? I reuse everything I can salvage tbh, boxes, tubes, cardboard pieces that are really good when trading pcs (because some cardboard is really good at not bending). Bubble mailers too. Some BMs come in a very nice condition, so I cut them neatly at the top and just bend it over and tape it shut after I put the thing in. I take 2 tiny pieces of paper and white the 2 addresses, then tape them on the previous addresses on the bubble mailer. Boom. Zero cost bubble mailer. And zero waste too, since you save the waste of 1 bubble mailer.
    Watching people slice perfectly good BMs in unboxings kinda gives me anxiety sometimes lol :DDD

    Lmao I liked the mail drop editing at the end. I hate interacting with the people at the post office too. When I used to sell on eBay, they at least have the option where they create the label for you if you choose any of the precalculated dims and weights. Back then I didn't have a scale when I was selling accessories, so I had to guesstimate, and ended up overpaying a few cents to couple dollars more than what would've been the minimum cost. ^^; Thanks for the video!

    usually when I sell my albums within the US the average amount for tracked shipping (ex. a kihno) will be like $3-4 usd, but since I have to fill out customs when I send to Canada I have to use the priority mail flat rate bubble mailers that USPS provide so the shipping is $27 :( even though I don't want people to pay the full amount for shipping I think making them only pay $6-8 for the shipping is a bit low for me since I don't just have $20 I can spend at that moment. Would you have any suggestions on how to price the shipping 👉👈

    In my country (indonesia), we usually use marketplace sites like Shopee (basically like Ebay/Mercari) to sell our merchs because we can get discount for shipping fees lol (also for safety reason to avoid scammers). Our domestic shipping fee also quiet cheaper compared to US/canada too (normally starts from 0,5 usd, depends on the length and shipping service, also most of them are trackable). I'm curious how your buyers pay for your stuffs? By using paypal?
