You have just totally increased my profit margin!!! I was paying $40 dollars to ship a 22x22 box through Etsy via FedEx . I had no idea about USPS retail shipping!!!! This is a game changer. Thanks Damon!!!

[@DecoExchange]

happy to help!

[@LadyBereness812]

Same here! I had to ship a wreath from Ohio to Florida; needed in 2 days for one of my Great Grandsons 1st Birthday party. It was in the $40.00 price range but they created the box right in front of me. I used UPS but... it cost me more to ship it than all the materials I used! This was great info for future gifts out of state. Right now my GrandDaughter is waiting for her Bumble Bee wreath for her Birthday!

Hi there - this was a great video - thank you. I am asking for 2023 - how much to send in the US a wreath like you made (beautiful)....I can't find anything lower than $92.00!!!! AUGH

I do the samething except I don't punch holes all the way thru the box I only the punch hole on the inside fold over cover

[@tinadujanovic8416]

Where do you purchase your boxes or how does one go about getting the $12.50 shipping rate?

[@LadyBereness812]

I’m wondering the same thing. I’m in Ohio & need to ship to Grand Daughters in Florida. I did see a video on YT awhile back where they made their own boxes. They gave the dimensions, where to score lightly to fold, etc. I had to ship a Birthday Wreath in a hurry & found out that my local UPS would make the box and guaranteed it would be received within 2 days! Of course it was costly but it was for one of my Great Grandsons 1st Birthday and I was in a time crunch. Cost me more to ship it then it did to make the wreath. (What we don’t do at times for our Grands and Great Grands)

[@tinadujanovic8416]

@@LadyBereness812 I wound up purchasing my boxes on Amazon and setting up my own shipping account on shippo. Hope that helps.

[@LadyBereness812]

tina dujanovic; thanks so much for the info and yesss it’s great advice.

[@Andrea-qi5rp]

@@tinadujanovic8416 I'm new, shippo allows you to pay less for shipping? USPS honors the rates?

[@relenag1554]

What size is your wreath frame. I just shipped one for $42🙁 I normally buy the 24 inch and wondering what size box to lower the cost. Thank you!

[@sherrywalton6258]

Thanks for showing this. Very helpful.

What would you say is the dimension of the wreath you would put into this 22x22x8 inch box?

Do wreaths , my wreaths are 18” what size of box need 22 by 22 . How you print their information, if you never do it , my first time to ship

[@suegriffin8672]

Thank you for posting this informative video. One question: do you charge extra for shipping or add it into the sales price of the wreath?

[@maryannkocan6238]

Where do you get your boxes and label ✉️ and if I my ask how much do you charge for a wreath? Thank you

[@DecoExchange]

Hi Mary Ann! We actually have a blog post about that. You can check it here howtomakewreaths.com/how-to-price-handmade-wreaths/

[@caroledishong5813]

who do you use for shipping? and what size box for a 14" wreath form?

[@debbecoletta7746]

That was great ! Thank you

[@DecoExchange]

happy to help

[@kayehiggins4587]

I just bought a 22x22x8 box went to the post office and they wanted $60 to ship the wreath to Fort Worth tx from mandeville Louisiana. Insane

[@tamikacarter772]

That’s about right I paid almost $50 to ship to Houston from Louisiana

[@DecoExchange]

Yes, it can be very expensive. Our tip would be, Keep the box as small as you can without squishing your wreaths. The larger your box is, the more expensive it will be to ship it.

[@Lisa-hc3uq]

​@tamikacarter772 The smaller boxes are shipped cheapest with USPS. Larger boxes ship cheaper with FedEx than USPS.

[@claragolding9537]

I’m sorry I meant do you use the same method on wreaths made with UITC ? Thank you

[@DecoExchange]

Go for it! Let us know how it turns out!

[@renaew6212]

If you put the label with the dimensions of the box on the outside, what if you cut down the sizes of your boxes for whatever reason, do you still put that facing out?

[@DecoExchange]

Hi Renee! Yes, it's just personal preference.

[@theshogun5062]

I just started making wreaths. I’m not with a certain website as of now. Can I just get the box and take to ups or fed ex store to do shipping

[@terriadams1449]

Thank you so much for this video! I have been avoiding shipping my wreaths (and missing out in business) .. this helped me so much! Could I use zip ties instead of pipe cleaners? Love all of your videos - thanks again! ❤️

[@DecoExchange]

It may be a little more difficult to attach but I don’t see why you couldn’t use zip ties.

[@maryriehm4752]

I saw a tip. For the bow to stay. Put tissue paper in each loop

[@DecoExchange]

Appreciate it, thanks for sharing!

[@sandrastetler6115]

I love that you added the links for the boxes but I do have one question most boxes I find are 4 inches in height my wreaths are made of clothes pins so there pretty flat does anyone know if they make flatter boxes at 20x20. Also thanks for sharing this helped big time

[@sewnread]

Amazon sells both 4" and 6" depth in the 20 x 20 boxes.

[@LadyBereness812]

Judy Mansfield ; good to know! UPS created a box for the wreath I made that had to go from Ohio to Florida & had to be there in 2 days. It cost me a little over $40.00 😳 Shipping was more expensive than all the materials to make the wreath!

[@christinegibbs2429]

What size box would you use for a cross wreath? TIA :)

[@DecoExchange]

You’ll need to measure the cross and put it in a box that fits. There isn’t a one size all fits answer.

Hi an who do you use to ship it?and does the cost different from State to state I just started watching you and I have really enjoyed the time thanks

[@DecoExchange]

we compare the cost for each carrier - most of the time Fedex or UPS is the cheapest for this size box.

[@joannmoffat3029]

If you don't include the shipping charges in with the price of your wreath, how do you pay the post office for shipping?

[@DecoExchange]

Either customer pays shipping or it comes out of profit

[@tonidonaldson2309]

Do you box a grapevine wreath the same way?
