If it does help you, you should mention it on your videos that we are going to need to refer to this one later, because it has such pertinent information.

[@panampia]

Lindey to circumvent the annoying bubbles when trying to shove the box in that soft mailer, I suggest cutting 2 pieces of very thin cardboard that fits perfectly inside the envelope. Then slide your sealed box between the sheets of cardboard and once it is in, slide the sheets out to reuse over and over. I think that would work well.

[@sweettina2]

Great tip, thank you!

[@gradysullivan614]

I have been doing that for a long time now. I also don't shove the box through the envelope having to start over. Great tip!

[@FAQTheMadness]

I overcome this catching bubble issue by placing the item in a clear polybag. It generally reduces the friction and allows the (1096L) box to sort of slip right in.

[@The-Grateful-Hippie]

It's always a laugh stuffing a padded flat rate like putting on skinny jeans 🤣 Another tip if you fold the flat rate envelope past the second red line before you put the box in, it makes the flap a little easier to get the flap smooth. I also tape the bottom corners 👍

[@13nlsc]

All my items go in clear plastic ziplocks I get on Amazon. These are really great for hurling your entire torso on and squeezing every last bit of air out. They are folded nicely, but as compact as I can get them. I soooo got a chunky sweater in a padded flat rate this week.

2 Notes: 1) Fed-Ex Smart Post can be given to either the post office OR Fed-Ex. A lot of times it's the cheapest option. 2) Regional Rate box A ships up to 15 poinds at the 2- pound rate. Regional Rate box B ships up to 20 pounds at the 5 pound rate.

[@Ellyn1974]

No...you cant give Fed Ex Smart post to USPS. They always have to be taken to or picked up by Fed Ex. Then THEY hand them off to USPS for delivery. And Regional B ships at the 4 pound rate rather than 5.

[@vaderladyl]

@@Ellyn1974 Yes you can drop it at USPS. I've done it a million times!

[@liveandletlive9333]

Regional B ships at 5 lb rate. I went up in the past year. Thats why its generally not worth using anymore.

I just sold skates on Poshmark. The shipping weight limit on Poshmark is 10 lbs. The skates are new in their on study box. If I put that box inside another box to ship them I will go over the 10 lb limit. Can I put the skates on their box in a poly bag or wrap them in brown shipping paper to keep the item under 10 lbs?

[@hacatan24]

I am confused about why you're going to use two packages? If using both packages aren't you paying for two packages?

[@papabear2515]

hacatan24 both of the mailing items -the box and envelope - are free from USPS. You might want to use both the box and envelope if you’re mailing something that needs more protection than just putting it in the envelope alone. I do this frequently.

[@nancyloomis3046]

I use either Parcel Select or First Class and have had no complaints. I routinely sell fragile vintage items that MUST have extra protection to make it in one piece and that may add a pound or more to the weight and a bigger box must be used too. Priority is always like $2 to $5 or + per more expensive, And I know it’s not the most professional thing, but I reuse boxes, bubble wrap and have even dumpster dived for FREE shipping supplies....I do buy tape...but I’m in a very different selling category than you and don’t have a lot of profit right now, so saving on shipping supplies helps a bit. Thanks!

[@tardis9905]

I also try to reuse boxes, packing materials, and larger size envelopes. Like to recycle as much as possible, saves money.

[@rlight7666]

So if your are including "free" shipping, how do you determine how much to include in the price? Do you go through the process of packaging and weighting the item before you list it?

[@alfitz2189]

I'll be giving away my age with this comment but I loved the video and it was the first video I have seen from you and you're really good at keeping my attention. About buying the labels online rather than the post office, 22 years ago I used to sell auto parts online and UPS was the way to go. I used to get my labels free from them so I made sure to order enough so I wouldn't run out. Now moving ahead 22 years, I STILL haven't run out of the original FREE order. Plan ahead...

[@wecandoit2488]

The Regional B boxes comes in two sizes as the A. The Reginal B boxes depending on where it is going is in MOST situations cheaper than Fedex. The Reginal B will be very cheap if you are shipping to an a joining State. The boxes are free so check them out for yourselves.

[@jackie_jrml]

Yes!! I’m actually surprised she doesn’t use/didn’t mention! I shipped 7 lbs(!!) of clothing to my sister in the next state over for the regional rate of only $8.64. I stuffed that box so full/ kinda overflowing. But a large flat rate is over $20 now. No way!!

[@leanforward6303]

Regional Box B can be cost effective if the buyer is closer to your location. For example, I am in North Carolina and shipping a heavy and slightly longer than a flat rate bag or box package to Ga, or some places in New York, will be cheaper than fedex and the other USPS options. You can select the options without actually paying on eBay in order to see which is cheaper. I find that box B saves me a lot of money in many area codes. You can also check on USPS site by typing in the address and the site will tell you the region and wether box B will be cost effective. One last thing, many items can Stand up in Regional B box because of its height. Just a thought.

[@tammyjulson1623]

You have some great tips, thank you. I do also try to ship priority most of the time if I can, but a lot of times fedex home delivery is a lot cheaper than priority. I just put in your dimensions and weight and fedex home delivery was even cheaper than pirate ship. From west coast to east coast I'm getting $11.20 rate and this is through ebay. You need to put in dimensions to get proper rate.

Great video Lindey! As I probably mentioned in your initial video about Scotch Flex & Seal, I think that product is one the best things to ever come rolling down the pike! (Do you have "pikes" in Kansas?) LOL :-) Seriously I love that stuff. Another great thing you've mentioned in this video, (and the other one you made about them), is the regional A boxes. I don't know when there was ever so much confusion about something! A few years when I was trying to get some real answers about the exact usage of those damn boxes, several of the postal employees in different post offices all gave me different answers and it was clear to me that not one of them was sure about what they were saying. Even the postmaster told me not to worry about using those boxes because they were being "phased out anyway". Well, they haven't been phased out yet and they sure can come in handy once you're clear about what you're doing, right? In any case, a lot of good tips Lindey.

The big Tyvek is NOT a flat rate envelope. Its just regular Priority shipping rate. Ive used that when Ive run out of my poly bags that I ship bulky clothing in.

[@rosegionomo1426]

Hello 👋 👋 new subscriber ,l sometimes buy on jewelry auctions from the States, l live in Canada 🇨🇦 and shipping is crazy 😳 ,do you have a video explaining how to ship International, thank u 😀

[@thriftforfreedom]

I've been doing ebay for almost 2 years now and this video is going to save me some money on shipping! Thank you!

[@MommaBearsCorner]

if there were more likes, i would have hit them up too! lol you just saved me a bunch. :) fed x hire side people that toss packages so i dont use them because of that. is a shame but do not trust them. great video. learned alot

[@susancook1448]

We had a bad experience with FedEx even using insurance.

[@kennethbiddle8934]

Wow you are so helpful and full of information straight to the point.. I just watched a video this guy took eight minutes to make one point. That flat rate padded envelopes can fit more volume than flat rate envelopes. So if you have like a sweater or a hoodie you can shove it in there but you couldn't in a flat rate envelope, but you can in a padded one padded one. You have already given more information in 1 he did in 8.

[@LindeyGlenn]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@lucyj2580]

Hi, what about candles? Can you ship them that way too? Some are glass jars. Thanks!

[@bm9554]

First of all, let me tell you, you’re freakin Awesome. I am still in the research phase of re selling and gathering up all of the pertinent information and tidbits. I am so glad that I found you because your content is phenomenal and you explain it in such detail. A couple of questions: 1.) Where do you purchase poly bags, what sizes do they come in and which ones are the best to keep in stock ? 2.) Why do you need to purchase shipping labels ? I thought that we can print our own labels from our office ? Thank you,

[@carolyl46]

Thanks for the box in flat rate envelope tip and pirate ship “hack”. You are awesome!

[@criscoleman]

I enjoyed this very much. You were very thorough, more thorough than a lot of people I've watched on various subjects. Thank you vey much. However, you might want to update this, as USPS no longer uses regional flat rate boxes. At least, they're not in their priority flat rate products pricing page.

[@radiola3454]

Thank you for the video. how do you deal with scammers? I suspect each buyer who claims that smth is not delivered - as a scammer, who want both product and money. recently had one again and "she" was saying that item was not delivered, when I finally believed her and wanted to resend an item, she said "can i have a refund, it's kinda too late for a housewarming party". And i am like "housewarming during pandemic?" and told her that she turned out an average scammer - and i didn't hear from her since then. and of course i always report such people. But i feel that sellers are not very protected on ebay. My margins are too low to send everyone refunds for items(.

[@thorazine0076]

imo it's part of doing business you will have a very small % of losses like that. I don't see how eBay can offer a solution in that case you just mention.

[@kiddonline504]

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER, Shipping was eating my profit avive doing FBM on amazon

[@kintzyray]

I just would like share something if you have a food saver shrink item down and put in smaller box I do that with items like coats I sold a girls large winery coat and food saver it shrunk it down and fit it in a padded flat rate envelope just an extra tip

[@lorainerobbins2098]

renee kingsbury do you ever have the buyer complain about permanent wrinkles that way?

[@13nlsc]

renee kingsbury yup all my items go flat. I get 1000 ziplocks for like 30$ on Amazon. I get great joy squeezing the air out!

[@13nlsc]

Oh I’ll be pulling out my food saver too.

[@xrebeccarnx]

One of the best if not the best how to shipping videos I've seen. You are the Queen!!! Thank You Lindey.

[@kintzyray]

Thought I would share this I sold a body pillow and I stuffed it in a shoe box they tell you if It fits it ships so i got it to fit and close lol

[@maureendoherty4424]

OMG! 😮How did you get it in there??? I have a body pillow that I considered listing but thought forget it! It will be a nightmare to ship.

[@JaradArmitage]

When your local thrift stores open up again, look for the plastic bags that held comforter/blanket sets. Usually a couple of dollars. Poor man's version of a vacuum pack bag.

[@liveandletlive9333]

If squeezing items in boxes u can get unhappy buyers. Its not always a best option.

[@junkdeal]

Bet that box was round!!!!

[@mmclem1112]

THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO I am not a rookie I am a old dog been selling for 6+ years full time and I still learned a trick or two . Thanks

[@bethzaidavazquez5405]

Can you do a video on pirate ship content only

[@es2legends988]

Hey Lindey, I really enjoy your eBay videos. I especially like your eBay room. Look at all that glorious eBay tape. You are very easy on the eyes as well. Lovely.

[@mamarobyn]

I NEEDED THIS. I SHIPPED 3 BOXES OF NUTRISYSTEM FOR CLOSE TO $50....Ugggg!

[@grandmaland3524]

Thank you for your instruction. My driver’s license slipped into the inside of the console while trying to put it in a “safe” place before going for a walk on a forest trail. Upon returning the car had been broken into by breaking the drivers side window. I told the officer who came to take a report that I would be glad to show him my license but it was under the console somewhere and I would have to find a KZbin video and figure out how to retrieve it. Sure enough I found yours! This grandma is happy.

[@cys1964]

???

[@freddyrussell6611]

FedEx with an business account will also pick your packages up at your house.

[@LindeyGlenn]

I might have to look into that. Thank you!

[@stephanienelson2254]

Thank you! I just went through this and ended up paying over 1/2 of my profit on shipping :( Now I know what to do next time! This advice is golden!

[@leslyeschoenhuth3515]

* Too Bad they have Destroyed the Postal Service. I have had 3 Refunds in August. Priority gets Delivered but First Class is DELAYED or Lost. Political Obstruction of Business. WHY?

[@VintageConversation]

I think its a geographical thing, most of my 1c has no problem

[@Accumulator1]

I just bought from Ebay. Supposed to ship priority out of NY but already 2 days late. Tracking info not updated either.

[@cli_sensei]

I have actually saved $30 on shipping just by using the box in a bag. I gave free shipping and someone in Hawaii bought my item. I have saved double digits multiple times.

[@Rschwabe23]

With USPS being so slow now I'm going to start using FedEx more.

[@technical19d34]

Same here, USPS has lost me. I am finding more and more ways to use Fedex for smaller items. Tired of USPS lost packages, slow communication, lazy carriers who complain about picking up at my house or the UPS store "oh you are shipping too much stuff, I'm a partially retired carrier I don't do too much", too much discrimination of packages, etc etc etc.

[@simplyshare1941]

Yes it has been slow due to this pandemic going on and some employees are on quarantine time.

[@Rschwabe23]

Not just because of the pandemic. The USPS has stopped letting workers have overtime.

[@povertyhill5197]

Put your 1096l box in a priority tyvek envelope, then it will easily slip into the padded flat rate priority mailer without getting snagged. Thanks for the info about Pirate Ship!

[@michellegiroux5192]

Lindsey, how does one become a wholesaler? I was looking forward to start selling on eBay until I went to weigh my first item. I have no idea where the item will be shipped to so I have to go with the furthest location. The cheapest is USPS at $7.89 flat rate. If you have to use a box to ship it jumps to almost twice as much. I was going to list the item for $12.99. After I realized how little a profit I would make after fees were taken out I quit. Do you have any ideas for me? I have some breakable items.

[@Yolaida07]

Pirate ship its very affordable i use polymailers to ship

[@debrabollas9982]

New subscriber, you’re clear and concise. Great video.

[@TheNOXBrothers]

I might have missed it as i was shipping while listening....when you use pirate ship does the USPS actually pick up that item or do you have to drop it somewhere as you would with FedEx? Thanks!!! Love the channel!!

[@L.L.Cool.T]

I use it all the time. Same as regular USPS items!! Just drop off in mailbox, with mail person or post office!

[@cjb1708]

It prints out a regular USPS label - same as printing one off eBay.

[@joem80003]

Your smart and done a lot of work to make money I love your teaching others to do the same

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Nearly 28 minutes of endless female chatter is a lot to endure only to find out your definition of "HEAVY ITEMS" stops at 4 pounds! I guess I should have seen that one coming! LOL. Thanks for the Flex and Seal tip. Will check that out.

[@pamthetraveler7224]

Trehan Creek Outdoors I agree. I appreciate the info but repetitive and way too long.

[@drzydrea]

WOW! So much useful information!! THANK YOU !!!!!!
