I know this is an old video but in case anyone stumbles on it now. If you throw that box in a poly mailer and ship as cubic shipping or box in a bag on pirateship..it'll be even cheaper.

[@elizabethabbitt2425]

This video is GOLDEN!! Shipping can be so unreasonably expensive and I had no idea about these shipping hacks! I’m definitely one that is all for saving a few pennies here and there 😆 thank you so much for the information!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You’re welcome!! So glad it helped! ☺️

[@georgettaharris3672]

Soooooo freaking helpful! I felt like a loose battery in a box trying to figure the shipping out! Thanks for being so detailed!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You’re so welcome!! I’m glad it was helpful ☺️

[@dianaguy148]

You are PHENOMENAL! I just discovered u this morning and I got more information and learned more from you this morning than I have this whole week. I very recently decided to try candlemaking and I’ve been researching and honestly you’re like a one stop shop! Looking forward to learning more from you ❤️🙏

[@mstt9260]

I am so thankful for this information. It came right on time because I'm sending candles to my sister's and was lost on how to ship, pack them, and paying the shipping and handling. I'm excited about the boxes too. :)

[@sydsquid-]

Thanks for all these videos Erica! Love the transparency, it’s been a huge help with starting my candle business. I felt like giving up but watching your videos really helped me with continuing on

[@jolenefetterolf4771]

Thank you thank you 🙏, you’ve answered my prayers regarding shipping and cost. I lose money on almost every shipment. As a fellow candle maker, can I just say how grateful I am to have discovered you. I’ve had a surge in candle sales doe to the pandemic, and I’m panicking because I’m so unprepared and disgruntled about my shipping woes. It’s difficult to find mentors on this community. You’re a mentor, and I appreciate you.🐝

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You’re so so sweet! It makes me so very happy that this video has helped you!! 💕

[@denisewright8136]

OMG! Thank you so very much. I just started my own candle, soap and body butter company. With my first 3 orders, I had sooooo many questions on shipping. You’ve helped me a great deal! I will be watching more videos. Thanks again!!!

[@ashiomaisu9469]

Congratulations on hitting 1k subs. And happy birthday! Enjoy your new age & business growth.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

[@ioshalandry583]

This video was such a blessing and very helpful with my candle business. I definitely got excited about boxes and just learned about Uline last night so it was great to see that they have shipping boxes as well. You just saved me so much money on shipping and I appreciate you sooooo much for sharing this information. I'm subscribed and look forward to watching more

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you so much for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it!!

[@pimmypoi]

Super helpful thanks!! It’s so satisfying to know how to ship! I had my best friend who ships often mentor me through it.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You’re welcome! ☺️

[@Donner2002]

Hahaha! I get excited about boxes too! Gotta tell ya, I totally suck at candle making but It's been fun watching your channel and trying to learn. Over the past few months I've ended up ordering a bunch of stuff that hasn't really worked like I pictured it would in my head and even still EVERY time something like a box or a packaging supply thing comes in the mail I geek out and get all excited 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kelseyloving7526]

this is so helpful! im just starting my candle business so thank you for putting out these videos!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I’m so glad it was helpful! You’re welcome! ☺️

[@farmhauscandleco.1051]

You have no idea how helpful this was! I really never sold much online because of the hassle of shipping and you are absolutely right about the post office ripping you off! I have been searching for better information and watching youtube videos trying to figure out the best way to ship without having to charge a rediculous amount of money for my candles or having to waste my profits. Thank you so much for this!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for the feedback and I’m so glad it was helpful! Shipping can be confusing especially for people who don’t sell much online. Good luck with selling your candles! :)

[@cierrafickes5460]

[@anthenson8636]

Thank you! Great information. So glad you took the time to share this.

[@lisacook6074]

This video is perfect, and exactly what I was hoping to find! I’m just getting started I’m my candle making business and the thought of marketing and selling online was intimidating me, just because of the shipping aspect. So thank you for putting my mind at ease and providing great options. A few questions I have... could you please comment on insuring your packages? Do you insure it for the retail value? Does this significantly increase cost? Is there ever a time when you don’t purchase the insurance? One more question.. what do you do in the case of a buyer never receiving their candles, or if they’ve been stolen? Thank you!

[@Jojozey43]

This was sooo informative! Thank you🙌🏽

[@terabomb]

this calmed my anxiety SO MUCH!!!!!!

Hi I’m just starting my candle business and this video was so helpful on the shipping aspect of it because I didn’t know where to start. Thank you so much

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I’m so glad! Thank you for watching :)

[@CorneliaS0308]

Memory Box Candle Co I did have a question about the pirate ship. When I get my Etsy orders coming in I don’t use Etsy shipping labels, set up an account with pirate ship and get my labels that way?

[@sleeky123]

I get excited about every little things I get in my business

[@shirlenewolffenbuttel2770]

Thanks so much Erica. Your videos are very informative. Keep them coming. 👍😄

Thanks for sharing your experience, good information!!

[@kmreaser1]

Thank you. Just starting out and appreciate your knowledge.

[@scottburden9798]

I learned a long time ago in my business of selling branded fish food. Sell lower ounces, so shipping is less. So a 4-ounce candle is much cheaper to ship than an 8-ounce candle. My 2 cents :)

[@xrussian1x545]

Thank you for this video ❤️ very informative and helpful

[@ValleyheartDrive-ym4ok]

You're amazing and this information is invaluable. :) Thank you!!!

[@corgimama4988]

Thank you so much love the video. I'm just as excited for you😊😊

[@tiffanystarks2906]

You have no idea how much of a lifesaver you have been for me. I launched my candle business on Sept 30. But missed one key important factor...shipping costs. I have put things on pause until I figure it out. And my husband and I just talked about going to the PO to figure out the cost. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

You are so welcome! ☺️

[@momandsoncookingdinner5817]

You are very knowledgeable about shipping. I appreciate you for sharing Because I was puzzled about how was I gonna do this. And where was I gonna start. Because I'm new to all of this I thank you so much for your insight.

[@mistyandrews3134]

❤❤Thankyou!! This information is definitely very, very very helpful. Even though I am not actually making anything I want to D clutter my candle supply. I have a huge supply of new unused candles from everybody. Actually they’re just kind of sitting around. I have been so unsure about the shipping that it’s kind of just made me want to stop and I really want to sell my candle supply, but I just didn’t know how to because of the shipping costs. Thank you, thank you thank you you are helping out so much.

[@pamelavandertol6293]

This was so helpful! I've never heard of Cubic Priority and it's fantastic! Do you just add a base amount to all of your candles for shipping then, to get the free shipping? And how do you determine the shipping amount? Based on your highest priced shipment?

Hey Erica, I want to start making candles soon and have been loving using your videos as a source of information! (also im a fellow erica lol)

[@krnhll1]

Thank you for this video!! You articulated your knowledge information in such a genuine, kind way. (You’d make a great teacher!) I’m a new reseller and have been trying to get things rolling for months, BUT I’ve been paralyzed by fear and lack of “shipping knowledge”, paired with my pesky perfectionism… Terrible combination, btw. 😂🙇🏻‍♀️ I have watched so many videos and still couldn’t grasp the concept. So again, I tip my hat to you and send my biggest hugs and gratitude for helping.
