I started my shop in December and jsut recently started to get sales every week. I got this email a couple days ago. Thankfully they are still giving me 70% at the time of order. So I can still fulfill orders. That was my only worry. With Printify I haven’t even noticed a difference because by the time the order is eligible for withdrawal, 100% of it is available. I heard about this and thought it would be much worse lol I’m pleasantly surprised. Great video and thanks!!

Hey! Congrats on the sales, that's awesome! 👏 Thanks for sharing your experience and keep going!

Where I live postal tracking is not free and the cheapest option costs $2 dollars extra. Prior to Covid shipping costs for my small items cost 50 cents. I was able to offer free shipping. They are now up a whopping 300% . If I add $2 tracking to each item that only costs $4 , I have to pass this cost on to the customer or operate my shop at a loss. Several customers complained about his and requested ordinary air mail. I complied and 99% of the orders I send without tracking not only get delivered but often slightly quicker since they don't have to be signed for at each stage of the shipping.
As an aside , the increased postal charges meant that from having a wide range of things in my shop I have now had to drop everything except the one best seller since the cost of all the other things became too expensive. If you are selling expensive items then the tracking cost does not impact much but for haberdashery supplies it is a killer. The net result is that sellers operating from outside the USA are at a big disadvantage.

I buy my labels from etsy with tracking and I have missed deadline about twice this year and I don't have lots of orders, I still have a reserve on my account. They just need cash flow that's all.

[@dookins2081]

But what if you buy all your shipping labels through Etsy and have tracking for all of them??

[@TheGwendolline]

intersting how sellers would keep on spending money on producing and shipping for three months for free? and no, the tracking number doesnt play a role

[@HamzaKhan-lm5yi]

its not true that if you get the star seller payment reserved will be lifted

[@chun-chunmaru]

A question that is not related to the video, does the print provider operate on weekends?

[@Printify]

Hi! That depends on the print provider and any public holidays in the provider's location.
