I ALWAYS ship breakables double boxed 2 layers tissue 1 layer paper bubble wrap. Most supplies I ask small vendors small businesses saved me $$$ I sell consignment to encourage my friends to help save package materials
Uline is good source for box & poly bags too
Shipping has been the most difficult for me to grasp when it comes to send items out. :(
Don't let it overwhelm you just remember under a pound ship first class in plain box or poly and over a pound is priority. Weigh the items and put that in for calculated shipping (box size doesn't matter unless it will go over 12x12x12)
Great advice there! I did a screenshot.
That's what scares me too. I'm going to do market place first then invest in laptop and good printer after I make enough to get a good one. I have memory issue and thought this would be a great way to process things I really have to remember.
😂😂😂 great ending!! He loved that starfish so much, he didn’t want to let it go! But then he tried to step on it & ur quick reaction is what made me keep laughing😂😂 U saved the starfish mommy but then gma wanted to save dalton😂😂😂 thanks for sharing😘

You are so welcome!
Great to see how others ship their items. Picked up a few new tips. Thanks Kat
Glad it was helpful!
Kat, you’re the best! I’m learning so much from you.
I'm so happy to help!
Omg such a boy thing to try to step on it. I literally spit my drink out laughing. Thanks..... I needed that! Thanks for sharing all the details. Would love to see shipping items like The Niche Lady and Matt does sometimes.
Ok I'll try most shipping days are so insane I don't have time to stop and explain LOL maybe I can figure out a camera setup to show
This. This is the video I have spent all day looking for. THANK YOU!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Kat. There's definitely some valuable tips in here. We've just been figuring out how to ship the item once we've sold it.
I do that with alot of my bigger items which gets me into trouble sometimes LOL!! Thanks for watching Brian
Good info! Thanks Kat.
Glad it was helpful!
Great coverage really good tips, especially on explanation on box sizes and weight, shared some good info here.
Thanks Marcus, appreciate you watching! Congrats on 300 subs!
Great info as usual! One little thing - only EBay stores that are above the starter store get coupons for EBay supplies. Nasty little thing I discovered the hard way after I upgraded to a store. Love all your tips and tricks videos. They’re so great!!
Yes! Great point, I learned that on my second store as well. I thought I would get them, but nope! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, thank you for watching.
The ending was so funny, he such a boy!
LOL yes he is

“Don’t step on it” was hilarious! He is so cute!! Excellent job breaking it all down, I now have a whiteboard with your notes above my shipping area thanks!! Question about Regional boxes and best time to use those. Haven’t heard much info on them. Disappointed I missed your premiere hopefully make next one!
I thought I responded to this already lol maybe not. I don't use regional much just because I'm not super familiar with them :(
Dalton was hysterical! Enjoyed the video! 💕

Good info! Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
You're very welcome! thanks for watching
Helpful...shipping is expensive here but recently a business by the name of sendle has emerged with great rates and includes a pick up service in the price which is generally cheaper than traditional services....one will need to visit the post office from time to time.
Really like how u guys can do pallet boys...haven't seen much of that here but my eyes are now peeled... , thanks Kat
yeah it is getting quite expensive here as well! I have people complain frequently and we don't charge handling fees just exact postage. I'm glad that company is having good rates for you! I don't know of pallet places there but I would think there are some. Are there auction sites with estate items etc?
USPS provides insurance on items up to $50 ON PRIORITY ONLY. If I sell something over $100 I add insurance to shipping in 1st class. USPS insurance will cover damage too.
If you're a top rated seller and print from eBay you get $100 on priority mail. Personally if over that higher price point I ship priority.
Comment at 21:00 you made just made my life less stressful. I did not know it was a total to equal 36”
Happy to help
Thanks
No problem
Really good advice on here, I am struggling with no internet so I have the post office scan the upc off the labels on make Ebay sent to my email. It can be hard at the post office if you bring a lot of packages.
Yeah I can't imagine if you don't have a printer and have alot of packages that sucks no internet
Thanks for the advice, I have been struggling with shipping, free vs calculated. I live in Washington Sate so similar to you being in one of the corners of the country. When I do free shipping about 75% of my sales go to zones 8&9 and my calculated shipping items sit a lot longer and ship to closer zones. I feel I am losing out on sales when I do calculated as higher shipping costs put people off. I have to bake shipping into my selling price and I am probably losing a bit on the east coast sales but I feel getting a sale and losing a $1 or $2 is better than not getting the sale at all or having items sit.
For me unfortunately it isn't a dollar or two. I do breakables so alot of times the difference is $10 which if it is a $20 plate would mean my profit would be gone out the window unfortunately. Luckily I think enough of mine is one offs that people are willing to pay the extra on calculated.
Great video! Love It! I really appreciate your description of what you mail in the various types of supplies. Do you mail cosmetics? If so, any tips? Thanks!
I don't sell many, but when I did I used alot of small 4x4 or 6x6 boxes depending on the type if lotions and stuff padded mailers the small 6x9 work great !
The Nurse Flipper Thanks! Any recommendations on shipping lipsticks during our hot weather?
@@salettad I would probably find some Styrofoam like to wrap plates in and wrap in that.
The Nurse Flipper Thanks! I started using cool shield bubble wrap so lipstick wouldn’t melt. I don’t have experience shipping cosmetics so I didn’t know if I am being overly cautious or not. Thanks so much for replying. You do an amazing job!!! And thanks for your service during this pandemic! My sister is a nurse in Florida.
@@salettad yeah I haven't done much lipstick so definitely not experienced in that area lol
There is so much to learn about shipping. I’m sure I’ll make a few mistakes along the way.
You will we all do and I continue to occasionally it is part of the business. The important thing is to learn from the mistakes and hope they aren't too costly!

Hey there and thanks for all of your helpful video's! Quick question for the pamphlets you've been selling do you use some type cardboard in the mailing envelope to protect the item? Thanks, Ann of annsouthernfinds
Yes I sandwhich them in two pieces of cardboard cut a little bigger than the brochure and then put into a poly bag or envelope!
Am I correct that eBay gives us a discount when we buy our postage thru them, but then takes a percentage of the shipping charges as a separate final fee? Thanks for a very informative video. Dave in PA.
Yes that is correct. They take 10% of shipping cost as a fee I believe. This is because a long time ago (I remember this!) people would charge 99 cents for an item and way overcharge on shipping say $49.99 so ebay started this to deter that. However, the discount is normally I believe 20% or more so you still get a extra 10% which I figure will normally cover box and packing materials in most cases!
Thank you for the video, it was helpful. I know BoxGiver has free cardboard boxes and bubble wrap. I use them for my eBay shop.
That is awesome!
Do you have suggestion for the scale? Do you have 1 scale? Or do you need one for bigger items?Just starting out with mailing.
Wish you would have included prices on mailers & boxes. Confusing the different wording first class, priority Can you use a "competitors" bag ebay bag send USPS? Have to rewatch this couple times. THANK YOU for this. Great information.
This is the one I use amzn.to/3JEVl0y I use it for everything it goes up. It really depends on the quantity you buy (I buy in bulk because I sell alot) smaller quantities cost more. You can use any bags for usps but can't use priority to go first class is the big thing but ebay can go first class
Thank you so much for this video,.. question you mentioned a 4x4 box at the beginning of the video,.I use the QR code for shipping through eBay ,but at the post office,.and I had to unpack and repack an item because the lady said that no packages under 4x6 could ship🤔. Can you please explain it to me,..I hope I can catch your live tonight,I'm subscribed to all of you,Nitch lady, Stephanie thrifting Vegas,and Julian,..I hope I can get Cell service at home ,we live in the boonies,lol 😂🤣 Just kidding,..but cell service sucks ,if I have to go out to the pasture and get on my horse and hold my phone up in the air ,I will..lol,.
You would need to print it yourself they say that because the label is 4x6 but you can easily fold it over if printing yourself
24x19 are clutch i actually need to get more!
Yeah for sure they come in handy alot
Can u use a priority label on a plain box or poly bag? I see ebay always suggests it but not sure what it for. Thank an great video.
Yes priority mail labels can be used on any box as long as you're shipping priority. You just don't want to use priority branded items to ship first class or UPS or Fed Ex!
@@TheNurseFlipper thanks
I noticed the poly bags from USPS have shrunk even from your video. The ones I recently picked up were about a1/4 smaller.
Yeah I might have had the old ones on this video. I mainly use them for jeans/pants and heavier books that fit good still.
Hello u said ur scale was off would u b afraid to buy a used one? Can they be re-calibrated? Or u had to replace it?
They're so cheap I wouldn't trust used they're only 25 for a really good one
Question. might be redundant, but want to make sure.. I use pirate ship (accurate, prior knowledge and trust I guess) But! with the ebay shipping.. if you use the Priority mail boxes... do you still get the big discounts? Are the cubic inch rates the same as the priority mail rates if you use plain or "recycled " boxes from the store... the same discounts? on Ebay? (I will double check on Pirate ship).. did I make sense?
The box doesn't matter as long as it's not flat rate and you do get discounts. For me alot of times ebay discount is cheaper than pirate ship.
Your suggestion on shipping out 2 small Boy Scout patches.
I would ship first class in a plain plastic poly mailer or small envelope. I don't ship regular mail because there is no tracking, so the lowest shipping we do is first class. It should cost right at $3
The Nurse Flipper thank you kindly for your help. I know tracking is important thanks again

I print self adhesive labels with my laser printer
Ink really ads up, if you start selling alot the thermal printers save SOOOO much money!
@@TheNurseFlipper laser printers use toner. In my experience toner lasts much much longer. And you can print anything with a laser printer. In my case I already had a laser printer. I've been using the same toner carts for a year now. I print mostly black and white labels and print 20 to 30 labels a week
@@Queserasera_LaLaLa we print that every day somehow I don't think Toner would last that long here
I know this is old but are you saying ebay will charge the seller if more postage is needed or will usps try to get it from the buyer first?
The seller will be charged in most cases
When you get your package all ready, do you just go to the UPS store and give it them
We bring ours to the regular post office. You can also have your mailman pick them up when they deliver your mail. You can put in mailbox if they fit or schedule for a free pickup on USPS.com
@@TheNurseFlipper thank you so much
What resource is good for poly mailers?!👍🧚🏻♂️🔨
www.amazon.com/shop/thenurseflipper
You have a huge Winnie the Pooh plush. How should I ship it? I’ve heard you can use a big black garbage bag. Can you give me the specifics on doing this?
Thats a great tip to roll them up tight!
I just stuff mine in LOL Maybe I should try rolling mine!
Thank you! I’m thinking I will wrap it in a garbage bag and then wrap it in another one. So I’m assuming you just measure the largest dimensions if Winnie as if you were putting him in a box?
@@robinwilson7754 yes that's what i would do
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I’ve really been enjoying your videos.😊
Hello I'm new to your Channel and I need help I'm just starting out my new company and trying to shift things from home every product that I have is 4 oz bottles & plastic bubble envelopes I'm using that I just seen your video. I'm trying to ship for free or see if my product qualify for that
There's no way to ship free either you pay or the buyer pays
@Jody Stewart the only flat rate packages USPS offers are through Priority. So the one you're probably referring to was a padded flat rate envelope. So this would cost about $8 if the item is 1lb or 15lb as long as it fits in the padded flat rate envelope.
Can you do a video haw u do your amazon?
Sorry how you do amazon😫
Hey, honestly I barely know enough to get by selling on amazon myself LOL definitely don't know enough for videos :D
I think Buffalo Picker has some amazon videos he does it WAY more than me LOL!
Do you have to ship priority? Can’t you ship standard?
You can ship standard but when you print labels from ebay you get a discount on priority and 9 times of 10 priority is actually cheaper than standard!
@@TheNurseFlipper Oh that’s great news. That way I can use their boxes.
@@sandrarekau8350 yes and they're free!
@@TheNurseFlipper I meant to ask you. What do you use to research an item that’s the most trustworthy? And second when looking at sold items on eBay what does the price of an item with a slash through it mean?
