I liked seeing how you did the bookends with boxes inside a box. I also like that you used just a piece of tape to hold the bubble wrap in place. I've received items wrapped in bubble wrap, and then the entire thing is totally covered in tape to the point where I'm worried I'm going to damage the item just to get the bubble wrap opened.
Good evening Lonnie: Simple thoughts: when you make a package with two boxes, you always make the same mistake of pre-cutting the two boxes at the same height! Now, you put one carton in the other and as a carton has a thickness ... the pre-cuts are no longer at the same height and when you flatten the sides, you "break" the angle formed by the pre-cutting of one of the two cartons and you weaken the whole instead of making straight, clean angles! the edges of the first cardboard you fold are higher than the edges of the second cardboard that you will end up "rounding"! you "should" pre-cut only one carton and use this pre-cut to pre-cut the second carton only once the object comfortably seated and after having folded the edges of the first carton, the highest one, so! simple reflections and not bad criticism:) Nice evening and thank you for your videos that I love:) Bonsoir Lonnie : simples réflexions : quand tu fais un colis avec deux cartons, tu fais systématiquement la même erreur de pré-découper les deux cartons à la même hauteur ! Or, tu mets un carton dans l'autre et comme un carton a une épaisseur ... les prédécoupages ne sont plus à la même hauteur et quand tu rabats les côtés, tu "casses" l'angle formé par le prédécoupage d'un des deux cartons et tu fragilises l'ensemble au lieu de faire des angles droits, propres ! les rebords du premier carton que tu rabats sont plus haut que les rebords du second carton que tu vas finir par "arrondir" ! tu ne "devrais" pré-découper qu'un seul carton et te servir de ce prédécoupage pour pré-découper le second carton qu'une fois l'objet confortablement calé et après avoir rabattu les rebords du premier carton, celui qui est le plus haut, donc ! simples réflexions et non de méchantes critiques :) Belle soirée et merci pour tes vidéos que j'adore :)
Did you say that you use your 2 inch tape for wrapping your Christmas presents ? I sure hope Candice does the packing of those boxes or they may never get opened, you pack too well 😂❤ merry Christmas to you and yours 💐
I love your and your wife's videos. I used to sell a few things on EBAY. I never had a store. Will you please answer a question? I stopped selling in 2008. Back then I just wrote the buyer,s address on the box. Now everyone uses labels. I do not have a label printer. Can I just print it out on paper, trim it down, and tape it on the box? I lied. I have one more question - for the short time that I sold, I just used home address in the from area. With all of the crazies now should I invest in a post office box? Thanks in advance for helping me. I am now 72 years old and I want to try it again. I guess I should get a basic store this time. I have so much stuff. I have been amassing things for decades.
curious why 6x4x4 rather than 4x4x4? i have the latter for smaller items.. its less weight.. thanks for all the videos, I really enjoy them.. you guys are pretty awesome!
I believe the USPS requires one side to be at least 6" long. Canada Post allows us to use 4x4x4 boxes when shipping within Canada though. They're a really useful size.
Cheers Lonnie 😊

Excellent warp job on the wooden book inns
Thank you for the video. Why is it so entertaining to see someone pack stuff? :D

the pre-cuts are no longer at the same height and when you flatten the sides, you "break" the angle formed by the pre-cutting of one of the two cartons and you weaken the whole instead of making straight, clean angles!
the edges of the first cardboard you fold are higher than the edges of the second cardboard that you will end up "rounding"!
you "should" pre-cut only one carton and use this pre-cut to pre-cut the second carton only once the object comfortably seated and after having folded the edges of the first carton, the highest one, so!
simple reflections and not bad criticism:) Nice evening and thank you for your videos that I love:)

simples réflexions :

les prédécoupages ne sont plus à la même hauteur et quand tu rabats les côtés, tu "casses" l'angle formé par le prédécoupage d'un des deux cartons et tu fragilises l'ensemble au lieu de faire des angles droits, propres !
les rebords du premier carton que tu rabats sont plus haut que les rebords du second carton que tu vas finir par "arrondir" !
tu ne "devrais" pré-découper qu'un seul carton et te servir de ce prédécoupage pour pré-découper le second carton qu'une fois l'objet confortablement calé et après avoir rabattu les rebords du premier carton, celui qui est le plus haut, donc !

I have to use a similar tape dispenser at work. I swear the cuts are worse than paper cuts

Yes, you can print in a regular printer and just tape on the box.
