Great video!! I’ve worked for UPS for 28 years. At one point I would trouble shoot packaging problems for major shippers in a test lab. One tip is to tape all package seams so top and bottom are taped in an “H” pattern. It increases the strength of the box quite a bit.
Thank you for the tip x
Love your packing method using packing paper versus miles & miles of bubble wrap! 👍
Tip from working in a warehouse. Tape the boxes in an H pattern. After taping the seam tape the edges forming an H.
Really great advice!
Awesome how to video! When I was still new to shipping, I was so paranoid that things will break that I used to wrap everything in bubble wrap. Now I know better. My tip is to go to your local Starbucks and ask for cardboard boxes. They have heavy duty different sized boxes. I also use shredded documents as fillers or ads from CVS or grocery stores because I hate peanuts. Please make a video on how you research an item you are not familiar with and how you determine the price.
Great tip! Thank you!
I have heard getting a subscription to worthpoint helps to value items you are unsure about.
Can you post the link for the shipping paper?
Thank you so much for this! Shipping valuable breakables makes me so nervous, this was very helpful 😊
Oh good! I’m really happy to hear that! Thank you for watching :)
Wow! What a great video. Very helpful! I used to use lots of bubble wrap, but I will now switch to paper after watching your tips. Thank you so much!
Very educational. Thanks. But one thing I do with any kind of glass wear for the first layer is gift wrap tissue paper. I get them from dollar tree. I had a bad experience that was sent through Kinkos that the bubble wrap tore some some of the lace of a doll that was dipped in porcelain. (this was from a family member) So I cringe anytime I see glass just wrapped in bubble wrap. Also just for lil more protection I stuff the tissue paper in the glasses,
That’s a great tip! Thanks for sharing that with everyone!
Dustin you amaze me! I would have felt overwhelmed having all that. Lol but you and your brother have built an amazing business. Love you're always sharing your knowledge and tips for others. Thank you
Another awesome, informative video! I actually am pretty lucky… I have a guy in my neighborhood who installs shutters and window treatments. He throws away humongous bags of bubble wrap and thin styrofoam padding. So every once in a while, I just text him and he brings me huge bags full of packing for free. I love that I’m repurposing the packing and saving the landfills a little. And I get it all for free. (I actually give him an Amazon gift card for Christmas every year so he doesn’t feel like it’s a waste of his time). I highly recommend finding a business near you (not you, but anyone) and getting their free packing materials. 😊
Wow that would come in super handy especially if you needed larger boxes!
Please 🙏 Can you take the time to share the links of where you buy you two different style of roll papers , bubbles rap and boxes please 🙏 that will be so kind and can help others including me 😜👍❤️
Love this thank you!! I'm a new reseller, this info helps us newbies! I'd love to know how you do your shipping labels? Do you weigh each individual package? Do you have a set range per box like like 3.5 pounds = 12.88 shipping if it's within certain box dimensions? Everyone seems to do or use something a little different I'd love to know how you do it. Thanks!
Very very helpful! What a great idea to take us along for the wrapping!
These packing videos are really fun to watch. Can you make more?
I use both bubble wrap and packing peanuts. About 90% of my items are glass and porcelain. I’m too nervous to try paper although it would be much cheaper! It’s just my method has worked well for me, so that is what I’ll stick with.
Keep doing what’s working for you! You can go wrong with packing peanuts :)
@@dingo588 Hopefully I never do! Haha
I ship vintage Christmas ornaments and really relate to several of your tips! Not letting the glass touch another is so important! I make cardboard dividers to separate the items and strengthen the boxes as well as using a little extra tape (H pattern). I use primarily tissue paper because a lot of the other packing material is too heavy for the ornaments.
Wow so different from other sellers. Yours being the most professional. Even better for details. Top drawer work.
You are right it was fun to see .
Wow THANK YOU for this! I'm new to reselling so your info will be a great help 🙂
I always learn something from your videos; informative &! entertaining.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)
I do not even ship anything but I could not look away! 😉
Oh good! Im glad you enjoyed thank you for watching :)
Thanks for informational video on packing and shipping items that might make you shake a little lol, come across this video and it helped calm my nerves 😰lol. You earned a new subscriber today....ME , thank you again and let's go.............
You da man! 😃 Learned a lot today. I’ve had things break during the pandemic. Pretty sure that won’t happen again.
Thanks so much. Have a wonderful day!
Im glad you found it helpful! :)
Thank you so much. I am the bubble wrap queen! Now I will make a nest in paper.
It can be a bit cheaper sometimes to nest with paper haha!
Great video!! So helpful, thank you!
Wow and all of that one handed! Great Stuff Brother!
Haha I could pack with one hand tied behind my back.
Dustin...love your vids! For securing something like the tiles i double up a piece of bubble wrap (cut to fit) and lay it on the top. i use enough to make sure its tight. keep up the good work!
Great tip! Thank you Keith!
So so helpful! Thank you!
What do you find is the sturdiest most cost effective packing paper?
Great video, Very helpful!
Excellent video! Very helpful information! I’m going to try your method with the packing paper vs packing peanuts and bubble wrap. Where do you get your packing paper? You must go through a lot!
Loved seeing how things work at you business.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed :)
Yeah I love Ebay. I buy many.
I bubble wrap glassware .I’m always cautious.Great tips
Thank you for this! So helpful! Where would you recommend getting your packing paper?
Just found you. Thanks for such an informative video
I have been binge watching your videos for hours while I try to pull my #@%! together. You and your brother are very entertaining. You both play off each other well. I really appreciate the knowledge you are sharing with everyone but I do have a question and/or request. Would it be possible in the future to include the approximate sell-through rate for these items? Residing in the lower tiers of cash flow this data point is vital when making buy decisions especially when paying up for an item. Thank you in advance.
WE would like a video on how you pack and ship larger and hevier things 🙂
I may have to do this one! Thank you!
Can you explain how your number system works? I have a hard time trusting other people to take over the packing/shipping side of things.
Thank you so much!
Thoughts on labeling “fragile” ?
Useless 😂 sadly
I watch your videos fantastic
Thanks for sharing packing tips.
But can you tell us what you put on the top of the box before taping
Great video! Where do you get that paper from? Thanks!
Where would I get that paper, please? Great video x
Hello, this is the first of your video's I have seen...it was helpful and I appreciate it. I went to your website to view your items - but was surprised to discover that you apparently do not sell on any of the large platforms, eBay/poshmark/etc. Is that so? If so, how did you build a large enough following to sell just on your own website? If there is a video on that I would certainly want to watch it. Thanks
Wow. I must say I bubble wrap the snot out of everything. Even a $10 mug. 😕 On the plus side, my ebay reviews are awesome! 😂
@MHayes 🙋♀️ Me, too! 😄 My son (with the Business Degree) says I should include a ⚠️ that Buyer may need power tools to access their purchase!😂. And, like you, my Positive Feedback about my "packing" is SUPREME.👌 Right now, though, I'm having supreme anxiety, because I have to ship an Antique Oval Frame with Convex/Bubble Glass. (Scared. To. Death.) Have a great day!
@@mzheather4u Good luck with that! I'm sure you'll do great!! ❤️
thank you!!
Good video (for the smaller items). Can you do one for the oversized/ heavier items you sold? Also, doesn't paper add to the shipping weight/cost? Do you invoice or build-in for the shipping??
Great idea I just may have to do one on larger items too.
Thank you 👍
Thanks for watching!
I am so paranoid about my breakables… that I usually do bubble wrap and then pack in a box in a box and float with paper. How many packages have you had any breakage? Maybe I’m changing the way that I pack and ship. And what paper do you order I like those big flat sheets I’m usually ordering the rolls and they’re quite expensive. Thx!
We double box occasionally if things are heavy. We do pretty well with damages I would say maybe 1 or 2 out of every 100 orders.
😮@@dingo588
Where did you purchase your brown wrapping paper.What is the name.Is it just wrapping paper.thanks so much
How about shipping something like a replacement coffee carafe, just pack with heavy duty paper all around? I was thinking I was going to have to use $15 in bubble wrap! Thanks for all your help.
Thank you
So paper is the way to go. What about peanuts or the air bubble things?
Do I need to mark box that there is glass inside?
Where do you buy your paper from? ty 4 vids :)
Usually just on Amazon or eBay. There are lots of great vendors that offer craft paper bundles like that for great prices
I buy my large paper like that at Walmart, they have small and large packs of it. Also sometimes you can get it for a great deal at a Uhaul store or at the office of a storage unit facility.
I attempt to resize boxes often..I have a hard time folding the boxes straight...how do you get such a great crease in the new location?
It’s easier to do with thinner boxes for sure. I think if you use larger thicker boxes it can be more difficult.
did you put apercat the top layer
IT WOULD BE NICE TO DO A VIDEO ON GETTING A SCALE ⚖️
Oh yes! Lots of good shipping scale options. Great idea!
So you didn’t bubbble tap the biig red bowl your only used paper?
cool dude
Where do you buy your packing paper from. Thanks
We usually just order from amazon or eBay. There are lots of great vendors who sell craft paper bundles for pretty good prices.
I’m so nervous about packing I’m surprised you don’t Bible wrap and just use paper
What are you kidding me. No wrapping the item with bubble wrap or anything or double boxing? I'm thinking I'm not going to watch the end of this and thinking your rate of damage must be really high
Just get to the point....please.
🎧🤪🎙️🫶 Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 I wishing you a beautiful day to you and all your viewers. Much Love Thierry ❤️˘◡˘❤️
You did make my day starting at 7am when i started watching your video 😜
You get a new follower and obviously a like 😜 👍

PS: Thanks to anyone who give the tip about the H taping box 📦😜
