- Sit down with me for a chat about how I package and ship my rugs and the products & tools I use to do so. Shipping has been a challenging and intimidating part of selling my rugs. I'm sharing everything I've learned so far, but I'm in no way an expert on this! Take what you will from it 😌 I hope it can serve as a starting point for those who were intimidated like I was.
Lot's of talking in this one, the timestamps below should be helpful 👇

Could you please make an updated backing and finishing video? It looks like you’ve improved upon your previous methods
This has helped so so much. Thank you!! You’re a life saver
Thank you so much for this video! It is so hard to find info on how to do this, and every tufter is also still figuring out what works best for them! And yes please make a video about shipping big rugs! I have made a couple of bigger rugs, but i have gotten away with being able to do meetups, but that’s not always ideal or possible. And i figure if i can just find a big enough box to ship it in, i’ll do that. But then shipping prices are soo intimidating
Gonna be shipping my first commission soon so this vid definitely helps!!
I'm using your videos as ASMR because your voice is very relaxing to me ❤️
This video is so helpful! Thank you!!!!!
This is a really beautiful and thoughtful packaging process tbh! I think you nailed it
Thank you so much!
Another great video. Thank you ❤️.
Thank you for sharing your skills with us
I would also love to see the way you use shopify and your personal experience on building your web site! Just a video idea you may like or not:) thank you, your videos are always inspiring, great job aj
Thanks sweetie for Sherrick with us your experience
I appreciate this video a ton! I swear yesterday I was searching non stop for info and didn't find much. Can't find a job where I feel comfortable and would love to start something of my own, meanwhile I'm checking prices for the investment 💗🤠
How's it going so far?
@@TS-ym3bo working on the financial crunching as well
Can you make a video on how to start a tufting business and what that looks like? Tips, advice, etc! Thank you so much
very neat and clever
Great Video! Looks like business and YT career are going well!
Hi! Can we get an update on your backing video? I would love to see how you do it now.
Thank u so much for all your videos 💕💕💕 UA-cam are so talented 👏🏼👏🏼
Can u show us how to price the rugs.?
i like your carpets! im curious as to how much you sell your amazing works? im planning to make those too and probably make money out of it. 🥺
Are you using a new backing for the commission rugs? If so what do you use? And would you recommend the homedepot rug pad still?
I change up my backing, but I ran out of rug pads and just haven't bought them since. So I've been using cloth backing instead. I can make an updated backing video soon!
Where can I find that exact black lining on the backing? I’m struggling to find the correct material
What do you put on a rug care card
What size box do you order from uline?
What kind of yarns do you use? Acrylic, wool or cotton yarns?
What are the deminsions of that particular shipping box?
can u use roberts 3095 for big rugs too because thats the only one i can find the other one you suggested isnt available on amazon
Can you pretty pretty please do a video on rug care??!
I wondering how to wash them
I have a few friends that work in shopping centers and I can confidently say they don not care about your packages lol. So I'm always nervous sending packages and try to make them as tough as possible.
Haai AJ,how can one get a tufting gun?
What are the dimensions of the box you use?
your giving sporty spice vibes
What printer and lable printer do you have?
Can get the link to the boxes you purchase from uline?
Do you weight the parcel with the box or without?
With! I weigh it once its all wrapped up
Have you found a non toxic adhesive for backing?
Still looking :/ The adhesives I use (Roberts and AAT 1132) off gas eventually, so I've just gotten more careful about wearing a respirator and keeping my space ventilated until they dry
@@AJMAKES137 I actually just came across a brand that is natural on Etsy! Giving it a try next week! It’s latex
what platforms are u selling on other than shopify?
Just shopify for now :)
What size is the box?
What are your cleaning recommendations?
Just posted a new video on this :D ua-cam.com/video/XmDQqJrdh1A/v-deo.html
Hi how do u create a packing slip when it’s a large order? Is there a an app or font
Also how do u print like 30 orders at once
I want to ask about font style ?
hi ms. Aj
you can’t just go the the post office and get a shipping label there ?
