Love your business content TL! Thanks for the breakdown between priority and first class per weight basis!

[@kaitlynbarron]

Thanks! This video has been the most helpful one I've found so far for Etsy shipping. I started my Etsy shop in September and the shipping has been sooo expensive. I didn't know that priority mail and flat rate boxes were cheaper for bigger packages. No wonder it costed so much. So far I've lost more money than I've gained. Glad I found this video or i probably would've lost a lot of money.

Hey love your videos they are so helpful and your not afraid to show what you use like some people on this youtube lol but was wondering where i can find out about wholesale thanks 🙏❤

[@caymusic17]

Hi! I found this video watching your old one specifically about Etsy shipping 2 years ago. I recently started selling my homemade candles on Etsy; your video helped me a lot but the problem is I created and paid for a shipping label through Etsy but I was confused on the listing dimensions and if that includes the USPS Priority box or not? I put my candles in a little brown box with shredded paper, tissue paper, ribbon, etc. So that box is 6x6x4 and needs to go in a USPS priority box because whether it is 1 candle or multiple, the package will always be over 1 lb. I just want to make sure with the shipping label I have (which only accounts for the candle and the stuff inside the brown box, that I can put that brown box in any USPS box it will fit? I hope this makes sense.

[@ldandrea1]

Hi. Great info! Question. Why is the large priority box not flat rate??

[@andreania2]

Question: when it comes to wholesale/ do you use a contract with your clients wanting a private label?

[@JohannaGodisGracious]

Thank you very much God bless 🥰🥰🥰

[@linaa4076]

Do you add the weight of the usps shipping box with everything that you will be mailing inside? Or just weigh the items going inside the usps box?

[@samanthatorres9325]

Where did you get the packing peanuts from?

[@fatiima2719]

What to use instead of lotion crafter !

[@MarthaGonzalez-bm1kf]

when taking the dimensions of the "item size when packed", do you take the measurements of the box/mailer or of the item? like I mean on the part where it asks for the length, width, and height?

[@jz167]

May I know where do you print your brand label (the circle label)?

[@laclutchurbnturbn]

Tape measure..lol nice video

[@kathypelot2187]

Hi Tara, I do have a question. On the shipping you said some shipping depends on the weight. Say a person orders 3-4 items. You don't know the weight until you pack the items. How do you know what to tell the customer on the Etsy site there shipping will be?

[@kiraborland]

Hey can you tell us how you got your brand/business registered?

[@cqangie29]

So I have a question… I’m just starting and I’m inputting my 1st listing. I sell cold process soap. I inputted the weight of 1 bar and the package contents. Then I inputted the dimensions of the small flat rate box ($8 to ship from usps flat rate). But The shipping rate on Etsy says $3.57. Will I be stuck paying the remainder of the $8 flat rate when I drop off at usps??

[@kerissajones7581]

Hey @taralee I am struggling to decide on what size boxes to order for my kits. It will house 3 4oz jars , lip balms and a lip scrub jar. Along with tissue paper and crinkle papers , please advise

[@thespencerfamily8486]

HOPEFULLY you see tis soon, I am about to purchase boxes from line to priority mail lol a small box is flat rate close to $9, I think priority with weighing the line box will be a little cheaper. do you recommend priority mailing your own box if its weighing in under 4 lbs?

[@TaraLeee]

If it’s cheaper to use your own box then totally.

Is it possible to not buy shipping labels and just sent my product through post office as a normal letter? I don't really get why I should use shipping labels. I would really appreciate it if you helped me with that issue.

You can get shipped labels on Amazon bc PayPal carry them on the website not the phone

[@Iamfiance56]

What do you recommend using say if someone ordered a small serum bottle around 50ml? Do you recommend to still use a box ?

[@kendrabonds5688]

When I helped my brother with his business doing shipping for health related products like vitamins etc ....we used the padded bubble mailers...you could still put it in a box then put the box inside the mailer and I think that USPS does have the small padded mailers..you can always call or go on their website to see their different size bubbled mailers! Hope that helps!

@@kendrabonds5688 Thank you! most of my products are glass, and my main concern atm, is making sure it doesn't break but still making sure the packaging looks decent especially when its just one small bottle.

As a Mail Carrier here in Miami you’re giving some misinformation here. A person doesn’t have to ship Priority for anything weighing over 16 Oz’s. One can ship however they choose even book rate and say it’s books inside or any type of media mail. The maximum weight for First Class letters and light weight parcels is 13 Oz’s. Check our site. Anything over there’s a charge per ounce. Customers have a choice as to how they want to mail their packages, the Clerk will never say, “oh YOU MUST ship Priority because your parcel weighs 3 pounds!” The difference between Priority and Regular First Class mail IS, one can track their packages with Priority shipping. For those who doesn’t care about tracking they can ship however. We will ask are there any liquids, plastics or explosives.

[@TaraLeee]

Then how come I cant ship anything over 16 ounces first class? When I buy a shipping label it says it has to be shipped priority if it weighs over 16 ounces. Also my first class packages always have a tracking code. Not just priority packages

[@TaraLeee]

Okay I just checked with USPS.com and stamps.com What I said is correct. Only packages that weight up to 15.99 ounces can be shipped first class. so I am going to have to disagree with you.

[@CougarLyfe]

@@TaraLeee not to debate, I don’t know what they’re doing In your area, but here.. I deliver them so I know and see firsthand. Still a good video. 🌹

[@CougarLyfe]

@@TaraLeee my Mum just received a package from her sister non priority first class with a tracking number weighing about 2-3 pounds. I’m not talking just to be talking, I’m talking on what I know(mail lady) and have witnessed personally. Doing it from home and actually going into the post office will give different results, I don’t know why?! I do know why, they get more money from business shoppers like you than those who actually go in with no business attachments. Double Standard 🌹

[@jaevikki85]

So I’m a clerk tracking comes with all packages automatically...once the weight is above 16oz you have the option btw express, priority or ground shipping....if the package is being shipped to a local zip code it may only give the option btw express or priority....express includes $100 insurance and priority includes $50 insurance (not $100) you can add however much insurance you would like for an additional cost....thanks for the info love your channel
