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
😂😂😂 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😘
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)
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 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.
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.
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.
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?
Thank you very much for all you do. I was struggling with shipping precious glass items. I appreciate you and your matter of fact way to approach this. Your terrific.
“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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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! 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.
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
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,.
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
@@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
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?
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?
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?
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!
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
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
@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.
@@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?
Yay! Thank you! Welcome Aboard :-) I hope you enjoy my videos. If you have any questions please feel free to message me on instagram or email me at TheNurseFlipper@yahoo.com

Shipping has been the most difficult for me to grasp when it comes to send items out. :(

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
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.
I AM WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPITALS ... AMAZING VIDEO!!! PERFECT INFORMATION FOR APT PUPILS. THANK YOU
