UPDATE MY COURSE IS OPEN! 📦 MASTERING SHIPPING COURSE: www.ericamariemorris.com/MasteringShipping

[@scentedlegacy]

Done. This has been a scary part of the business for me. I am not even close to shipping yet, but I have been dreading it regardless lol

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I totally understand that! There’s so much to know and it can be confusing and intimidating. I get so many people asking questions and reaching out about shipping so it seems like there’s a big enough need for a curated course on this topic! ❤️

[@scentedlegacy]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo there's no one else I'd rather learn from. Thank you in advance.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

🥹 that made my day! Thank you so much for all of your support!!

[@Bornawesomejay]

Waitlist joined. Survey completed. Launching 9/16🥹😁 we will get through this!🙌🏽

[@ChanelleTheBelle]

Thanks for this video. I am just starting to ship so this is perfectly timed. I have signed up for the waitlist. Thanks again 😊

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you so much! ☺️❤️

[@olgak5968]

Thank you!!!❤

[@lorraineinbloom2776]

love this video! thank you :) i've been looking for a website for custom matchbooks with my brand logo on them to send with my candles. having a bit of a hard time finding one though. do you recommend any vendors?

[@carolinechampion4375]

Thankyou very informative video 😃

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@ayvee1796]

I joined the waitlist and filled out the survey. I am so excited for this course! Thank you so much for doing this for us, you have no idea how much I appreciate you and the work you put in to help us 🤍

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank YOU so much! I appreciate your support more than you know ☺️ I’m so glad you are excited because I am too! ❤️

[@cbpapp]

I can’t complete the survey, I tried 3 times, but I feel you will understand where I’m at. Thank you Erica!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Oh no! Hmmm I wonder why. I’m sorry about that! Thank you for trying ❤️

[@robinm6967]

Great video! My husband retired from a shipping company! Just curious why such a large box for the six wax melts? My husband always tells me to make sure the content inside does not move around! Have you tried a smaller box or is it the cost? Thanks!

[@carlenestair6398]

I have been watching so many of your videos and learning a lot as a start my candle journey. How do you pack your wax samples. What you pack them in as container?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I use tiny glassine bags from Uline :) the wax melts don’t stick to those bags and then I put those in the little cotton bags with stickers!

[@AtomicElf1]

I think the largest challenge for me right now is coming up with a plan for how to charge for shipping in a way where: 1. I know I'm not losing money on shipping. 2. I don't have to worry about having all the specifics for each product or combination of products figured out up front. 3. I can minimize the number of different supplies to save on space and make packing more efficient.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you so much for your comment! Those are some really great points and I will take note! ❤️

[@ayzakhan1041]

Hello where to get the packing boxess for candles??

[@EclipseBotanica]

Hi Ericka! I was curious how you are able to print your shipping label before packing up your orders? That seems like it would save so much time, but I always wait till the end, after everything is boxed up, so that I can weigh it with all of the contents and packaging materials inside. Do you have a system for knowing how much it will weigh? Or do you only weigh the candles and wax melts? I hope that made sense! Thank you so much for the amazing videos I've been your fan for far over a year now. You always keep me motivated in my business and I cant thank you enough for being so inspirational!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you so much! That’s a great question :) I only weigh certain packages if I feel like it may be teetering between first class/priority but other than that I can print out the shipping label before packaging it up no problem! ❤️ (I know how much my products weigh so I use that to help me!)

[@turasque]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo You should always weigh the package after packaging because even if it is First-Class Mail the packing material can make a difference by an ounce or two, which can be a different price. The USPS will adjust your account after they weight and scan it at their sorting facilities, but it is good to avoid your account being adjusted if possible.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

@@turasque Agreed! I've been shipping so long though that I already tack on that 1-2 ounces depending on the package. But I agree when you are just getting started I did this all the time! (Or if I have a package that's a little different than what I typically ship out)

[@dndhomecooking6505]

Hi do you do private label

[@veeandherstories]

I might be addicted to you❤️ love your voice and video so much honestly i always turn on your video to relax 😂 i know its so funny right? I just ordered Twightlight Garden and hope that it will smell good! I really wanna order After the Rain But it did not let me click on it😞😞 anyway hope u will be always successful! ❤️❤️

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

awww thank you that’s such a huge compliment!! and hmmm I wonder why it didn’t let you? right now I only have the larger ones in stock so if you were trying to get the small that could have been the reason. thank you so much for the support ❤️❤️

[@veeandherstories]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo of course! U inspire me so much i am planning to have my own business on candle making too. Probably next year but watching ur video is even more relaxing than making my candles 😂😂 Yes I was trying to get the smaller size first But maybe that is the reason. Anyway love love ya ❤️ Please film more of you talking or making candles , it so calmingggggg 🫶

[@lisatuck2524]

Is your honey comb paper pre cut sheets or a roll?

[@jusbeme4me]

It looks like she cut the sheets all the same size. If you look at the edge you can see the cut lines. 🙂 You has a link posted under supplies for shipping and it's a roll.

[@crystalrosado3927]

What is the best way on helping customers with shipping costs without losing on my end? I feel with the higher amounts it will cause me to lose customers.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

It’s more about the perception of the cost more than anything. The way I’m teaching it in the course is to split up the shipping costs and add a little bit into the price of the product and then charge the rest as a flat fee. It’s also very important to try to find the cheapest method of shipping in every order scenario ❤️

[@MsMoonlightPrincess]

If someone lived within a short driving distance from you, would you ever deliver it yourself to save the shipping cost, or would you feel like that's unsafe, or unprofessional?

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Yes! I’ve done it before :) it just depends!

[@GabrielaEmerique]

I Would combine to meet somewhere public to deliver it because it would save CO2 emissions and packaging, and the person would receive it faster :)

[@amandag5072]

Shouldn't the wax melt also need some heat protection?

[@astarieapothecary]

Usually wax for melts isn’t as heat sensitive. It’s usually harder and has a higher melting point than container wax.

[@amandag5072]

@@astarieapothecary The 10 degree C or so difference in melt point won't matter a jot when sat in a delivery vehicle that has been in full sunlight for an hour or more. I've had pillar candles with an even higher melt point melted in sun heated delivery vehicles.

[@astarieapothecary]

@@amandag5072 That’s why I said usually. My melt wax is much higher melt point than my container but hopefully She will answer to give her insights

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

It is a much harder wax with a slightly higher melt point and I’ve found that I haven’t had any issues in shipment :) plus I was just being extra careful with the candles as we were on the tail end of the crazy heatwave! The only thing I had issues with was my sample packs, in the thick of summer I received a couple messages that everything had melted together so I had to adjust and eventually I just took it down from my website until the weather cooled back down.

[@dominique6861]

I’m having a really hard time with this honeycomb paper. It does not stay in the expanded form. It it doesn’t there’s no reason to use it. Ordinary paper would do the same..

[@bmontero2006]

i guess some one is married...kind of distracting with ring
