Glad it was helpful!
WOW!!! So much helpful information! Thank you for all the shipping tips and tricks and especially making the entire process less intimidating! 😅
I'm so glad it helped!
I’m watching this GOLDEN vid again! I watched the whole video once, I didn’t skip forward and STILL managed to miss your incredibly handy tip about dropping off USPS boxes AND UPS boxes at UPS!!🎉 How awesome is that?? A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ASHLEY❣️ I LOVE my Slice box cutter!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
the tip at minute 6:30 is gold!!! thank you! :)
Thats it!
Love this video. Just a tip I’m cheap and I don’t like to waste so I keep and use all the packaging I get from my supply orders.
Oh yes! I save all of that packing! A lot of my suppliers have changed their packaging along the way so I typically use that for my wholesale orders and I savor it! When it's gone it's painful!
😂 love watching your videos. Great content.
Thanks so much!
Great video! The ups stores in my area (nyc) charge $1 to take usps packages, but it is still worth it when you are short on time
SAVAGE!!!
Great video vibes! Uline disposable one use ice packs will help your candle shipments in hot weather. Peace and blessings
Thanks so much for watching!
The ups drop off tip, I am STUNNED. The amount of driving I do to both post office and ups drop offs lol
GAME CHANGER!
thank you for your video! i have a physical location for 13 years but i wanted to start an etsy now so i was looking for shipping tips on what to buy ect… so i came back to your link before purchasing to try to use your affiliate links to give you credit. my best friends are strictly youtube content creators gentscents so i know i better watch the whole video to the end and use your links 😊 haha but i wanted to let you know that 4x4 boxes weren’t on there and maybe if you had some more size boxes to pick from i also followed your link for future purchased you could add the hp toners bc they cost a lot and i use them for my business i noticed you had the printers listed just a thought i shopped around all of the list i enjoy seeing what people like and recommend i’ve ordered some great house hold cleaning items that way 😅 just a thought i love all of your information and plan to watch more so thank you keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for letting me know!
Hey Ashley, Great Content! You always make me laugh. Where did you get the BIG stamp to label your shipping boxes? I didn't see it linked. Thanks, love your videos.
Zazzle!
Thank you SO much Ashley! I have been procrastinating about getting to know my shipping machine which is a Polono? We have the labels, printer, everything. I looked at all your products on Amazon and put them in my cart (saved for later) and will def purchase them. I’m sure there is a Polono vid on YT we can watch. Could you please tell me where you bought the personalized stamp with your co name for your boxes? I have the opportunity to put my candles in an upscale hair salon owned by a friend! It’s a killer opportunity and I’m so very grateful! I can’t thank you enough, Ashley…….shipping doesn’t seem quite so scary now…….well a little less scary!😅 Much love to you and your fam!
I have never heard of Polono but I'm sure they have everything you need. And I purchased my stamp a few years ago from Zazzle! Congrats on the hair salon!
Ashley 😂 I love the video & you’re amazing. But how much coffee did you have this morning 🤣
Oh yeah, this is me trying to get it all done before my suite mate or a customer comes in! It's a vibe.
@@UpsideGoodsCo you reminded me so much of me🤣 I’m glad you have affiliate links now! I always try and use them when I get product recs
Love the video, thank you so much for the information!!!! Just wondering, when you need to report a damaged product to get refunded, do you report it to the shipping company, your business insurance company, or the supplier for the packing materials? Just started making candles and eventually want to make it into a business so any guidance on this matter is appreciated!!! 😊
He reported to the shipping company in hopes that you paid for insurance with the package and then you also say a prayer and a Hail Mary because nine times out of 10 they do not give a damn and will not refund your package based on your claim
500 GOLD 🌟❣️ I’m guessing you had your Thank you / Candle / Wick care cards professionally printed? Your cards are lovely! If you had them professionally printed, were they printed at a local only to you shop, or an online printing site? Thank you so, so much again Ashley, I have purchased items from your store on Amazon. Much love to you and your family!🌟❤️
I've had them all printed through either local print shops or through Vistaprint in a pinch!
I need the wireless label printer! It’s cumbersome with the one I have now.
I have learned that if the box is shook and you hear (even a tiny bit) of movement, it’s not good.
Definitely do the wireless... game changer!
Thank you Ashley, please do you mind sharing the size of the stamp?
I don't remember exactly but it was the biggest dazzle had at the time! maybe about 5 inches?
A great video. I'm wondering if you might create a video that shows how you make a mass pour. I saw an image of you pouring using a funnel and wearing a mask with a hose of the back.
How do you set up for the pour?
What’s the max number of 8oz tins you do in one pour?
How do you fill the funnel - any safety tips?
The steps in the pour - left to right, top to bottom?
Any other information you feel is important about mass pouring. Thanks, David
Hey David! Yes, I have a few videos on my channel that would piece together this information but I'm happy to start working on something. Thanks for watching!
FYI USPS has FREE shipping supplies on their website!! #funfact. ;)
Definitely a great tip!
what is the name of the shelf white you have in the wall ( the one with holes) thanks. love your videos:)
Those are from target! They are like 30 and act like it 🤣
Just a heads up that it is at the discretion of the UPS store whether they take USPS packages. Mine does not (and I checked other locations, some do some don't). It has to do with their UPS load and storage space to hold USPS packages.
Yes! I think I made note of that in the video, but if not, this is definitely worth checking in everyones specific area!
Ashley, lots of good info here. I sell other things that require smaller boxes but have gone with the cubes 6x6x6 as you mentioned. My boxes have a number but not a stamp with a certification. I got them on Amazon and I’m going to use up what I have before getting more hopefully local. Is there a certain brand I should look for to get the seal? Also, there is a hood bit of shit they should teach in school that they don’t huh?
I don't know about a certain brand but definitely look for the seal/certification!
Love this! Now you use pirate ship which I’ve investigated a bit, but how do your customers pay shipping?
I have shipping profiles set up on my Shopify so if they spend a certain amount it is free but if it's under a certain amount it's a set rate!
where do you buy the tables. thanks 🙂
Home Depot - husky
@@UpsideGoodsCo thanks 😊
What are reasons most people quit the candle business after they just start
No instant gratification of sales, not what they expected in terms of how much they need to market and grind!
How you successfully give some tips pls I just opened my online store, and I don't have sell even though I do sell.
I’m not sure what you’re asking, sorry!
please give more info on the stamps! both cert. and shipping. thank you! " type A Gemini" here...
Thats really all that there is! They just have to be certified boxes with a stamp of certification!
