I love you and appreciate all your knowledge... its so helpful!!
Happy to help!
Thankkkkkk you Ashley🌸🌸🌼
Thank you for your insight. You are so right about reusing boxes shipped to you. I do it all the time. Also don't forget you can get free shipping supplies from the USPS if you are based in the United States.
I love what you include with your shipment. They give your product and business and nice personal touch.
Yes! Thank you!
Yes! Thank you!
Perfect timing…I just spent the past week researching and ordering all kinds of things many of which you talked about. I really wanted custom tissue paper and looked at that company. I thought it was really pricey, but I didn’t take into consideration that the sheets can be divided.
Oh yes! Divide them up! Or just stamp until you are ready!
Thanks for the reminder on the local shipping supplies.. they need our business too 😄 Already got my stamp at zazzle soooo awesome!! I love my Cricut! Spendy but so versatile! Mad they came out with a new one right after I got mine 😄🤣 No Issue sounds amazing! I have another side business i use poly mailers for but I would like bright colors. Hope they have more than black! Thanks for sharing!
They have so many colors at no issue so I’d assume the mailers have them too! Thanks for watching!
You are hilarious!! You keep me laughing 😆 thank you for being you🌼🤣🌸
You are too kind! Thank you for this vote of confidence!
Thank you for the help!!!! Just started my Mercari business and shipping my first candle today!
Good luck!!
Hi. How is your candle business going?
Your videos are very positive.
Thank you!
So helpful, thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Ashley
For sharing the useful information.
The tissue paper is lovely🎀
PeAcE
It’s such a nice touch! I know it’s not a necessary expense, but a viable one eventually!
I’m sold on No Issue. I’m going to check out their prices.
Let me know what you think!
Wow this has saved me! I purchased a ton of 4 x 4 x 4 boxes for my soaps, but thought I could not use them.
Yay! I'm glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing your process and your discoveries, Ashley! This is definitely helpful for new entrepreneurs. (Incidentally, "duplicitous" means deceitful, and is not related to the word "duplicate.")
Woah! Learn something new every day!
Hi! Thank you for this information! The link you provided for us is from Amazon. Regarding the reviews, do they bug you or have any doubts buying their products? I feel like bad reviews from Amazon makes me doubt getting a certain quality of boxes. What do you do and how do you know which box is useful?
Honestly, I don't pay much attention to reviews unless its a pricey purchase. But don't follow me on that, ha!
I really loved this video thanks so much!! I know you don’t prefer these questions 😩 but can you give me your best go to suggestions on what Wooden Wicks sizes ( from WW) to try on the WW tins using WW FO’s ? 😵💫…..
I'm definitely not in the best spot to recommend wicks! I do find that the guides that candle suppliers produce based on specific wax are a great place to start. Also, don't be afraid to remove a booster.
If you do sell templates I will buy!! I love yours!!
So good to know! What templates are you looking for?
I always love seeing your videos in my feed 😉
This made my day! Thank you!
Nice video mam 😊♥️ watching from Philippines 😊👋🌟
Thanks for watching!
🙏🏽 thank you
You're welcome!
Hi do you ship your products with just the brown box your do you ship using the double box method?
Just the brown box!
Hello new subscriber here✋🏻One question do you feel like people like more to buy a candle in a tint or candle in a vessel? I want to start a candle buisness and are looking for vessels or tint to put my candle in. I was just wondering if you think it matters? Because the tint are more cheaper than the vessels :) and would be better to start with vessels but i dont know if people like them or not :) thank you🙏🏼
I can’t really say as I have not tinted any of my candles so unfortunately, I am not a good resource for offering insight on that one.
Are you still using Wooden Wick vessels? Has their customer service improved? I just love their vessels so much.
I am still using them. Their ship times and some customer service issues have gotten better. There is still a huge disconnect with transparency in my personal opinion.
Hi Ashley... just a thought. What if the information on the last card you show (at 12:20) with ideas on upcycling the candle vessel, was printed on the tissue paper you showed??? Save a card and a step?? Just an idea! Best to you.
Great idea! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm not sure if I"d actually take the time to do it in real life but I LOVE the creativity!
where do you put the prepaid label on the flat rate envelope?
I'd imagine on the front or back of it. On a flat part of it!
Hello , where do you get the candle care instructions?
I made them on canvas and get them printed locally
I forgot to say I’m using WW Apricot wax. Also,….I’m thinking about doing a 30 for 30 with you soon!
I'd be happy to help with a 30 for 30!
Uline has great packaging supplies
Yes they do! I found a local company so I don’t have to pay shipping but they are definitely great when in a pinch for something specific!
Love your being raw and real, could be me...
We should maybe just NOT be embarrassed...
Real life, real person, no 100hrs make up 💄 perfection... 👍
Yes! Thank you!
Do you package some candles without lids?
I package about 99% of my candles without lids, except for the tins that I sell!
Thanks so much for the information on your videos and your honest presentations. They are very helpful.
Tip: Take a look at the meaning of the word "duplicitous", which you used several times in the video. I think the word you're looking for is "duplicative". I usually wouldn't mention this, but because of the negative meaning associated with the first word, I thought you might want to make the change.
Yep! You are exactly right 🤣🤣🤣 I am a repeat offender in misplacing words and just attaching what I think the meaning should be and using them as such. Thank you for teaching me something new today! I appreciate it!
👍👀👍
what is your etsy link?
I had to look it up! Problem number 1 - www.etsy.com/shop/UpsideGoodsCo/
Hi
How can l place an order
My website. www.upsidegoodsco.com
Duplicitous doesn't mean what you think it means. You may be going for 'redundant.'
Luckily I think people got my gist.
She's not seen the prices at No Issue.
Oh I've seen them :)
