It's like Bill Nye but with mail and shipping 😂😂

Ok, so spending two days and 5+ hrs on the videos, I have optimized my process of rating Jesse's videos by pressing the thumb up button even before watching the whole thing, because what I've learned soon after stumbling upon this channel is that this decision is a no-brainer for me.

[@ShippingThings]

👏🏽Thanks for watching! We love to hear that ❤️

[@efrainmpaniagua3517]

I thought I was the only one who enjoyed this video! I'm getting started on online selling and this is a pretty piece of gold information.

[@PinkVisor]

Great Videos Jesse, you are one of my favorite youtubers, I actually get excited when i see a new upload from Lumi. You deserve way more views for sure. keep up the good work!

[@1jsovik]

You're precious. I'm starting an ecommerce biz and my head has been spinning with the shipping learning curve. This video was informative and brightened my day!! Thank you!! :)

[@zoidstar]

infectious enthusiasm

[@isaacsmith773]

You're so awesome Jesse. I bought some custom tape from you guys and your UI on your website is on point. I love your business and marketing campaign.

[@thehandcraftedcooperative5585]

You're so fun to watch! Thanks for breaking it down!

[@anoushkadhivare5835]

OMG, I absolutely love your videos. The information is helping me get through a project. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@joedizzelfoerizle]

I certainly hope that I don't come off as pretentious or even condescending. That said, did anyone actually learn anything new here? Yes, the smaller the package and the lighter it is, the less expensive it should be to ship. I agree with the other comments about this girl's infectious enthusiasm and hope she keeps it up.

[@ryanjacobson7823]

Bless. This explains shipping costs so well! I'm so happy I found this account!

[@martintheiss4038]

Just think about consolidating sales so you ship for 60 or 90 day accounts at once so the customers can sell product and come up with cash before their due date.

[@kedardes]

These videos were really useful to get an overview of the world of shipping. Thanks!

[@susanx5370]

My nieces moved from the west coast to the east coast. 😩 the last two months I've been sending them little gifts. I wish I watched this before my first shipment!!!!

[@samanaboutorab1590]

[@SilkYSmooTh212]

Great channel! Very informativee keep it up!

[@carterharrington]

These are great, but i haven't found any information on shipping large lightweight lamp shades yet. Candles and dresses seam all well and dandy, but what about boxes that are more in the 30x30x40 range? Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

[@andikabaktiwijaya888]

Nice video Lumi about packaging

[@hiswordinwood2742]

Wow... who says shipping is boring! Cute and informative video.

[@bellabates2010]

all videos should be like yours cut clean and enthusiastic and straight to the point! What is API? Is it SHIPO?

[@emilieb.1929]

Is the poly mailer a good option to ship clothes internationally? And it’s only first class mail international that allows using poly mailers, or does priority mail international permits to ship with them too?

[@user-xo1jz7pp7e]

I like this video, thanks!

[@catopedia2643]

Great video!!! thxs

[@elizabethbrian6959]

I was a T-shirts designer and with the help of my uncle we started selling online and suddenly things changed, like you told shipping cost because it will be the expense we must think before spending money and BluebirdPackaging.com team helped a lot in it, now we are saving and serving thanks for the tips

[@everettea6793]

You are Freaking awesome! I usually playback videos at 2x, but you keep a great pace. When using the poly mailers would there be any difference in shipping cost between a 7.5 × 10.5 inches and a 10 × 13 inches bag? The weight is less than a pound. Thank you, D You are Freaking awesome!

[@ROARRRR777]

Pls advice on shipping from alibaba to amazon warehouse

[@mayadestyle]

how do you ship in these boxes securely making your items are secure if you're shipping clothing

[@ShippingThings]

As long as you're box is taper shut, you're good to go! But soft goods typically ship cheaper in flexible packaging like kraft or poly mailers. Check them out: www.lumi.com/products?search=mailers

[@udanivindhya2378]

love it

[@sarahcarswell1906]

this might be a silly question....but what about putting your box into a poly mailer? to decrease on price...

[@ericpham7773]

We have to make package as entire industry from product producing manufacturing to material laws and so it can not be small not big without thinking either if we care for next generation

[@alessandragarcia3577]

I like your videos could you make one video of how to ship plants ?

[@ShippingThings]

You ever consider running ads against new eBay sellers? They might be the people who one day move onto building some direct to consumer company

[@metrazol]

It's called "Shipping Things" but what's the show about?

[@bambooflute5158]

Lesson learned: Anybody shipped through UPS. They have stringent requirements for packaging. If you do not follow then insurance claim will be declined if damaged item is received. UPS informed me as below. If buyer do not support and provide packaging material to UPS then we will be punished. Keep terms for buyer to keep the material if they receive damaged items and do not refund unless they support the investigation. INDICATE THE INTERNAL CUSHIONING USED (Indicate all that apply) - Air Bags - Loose Fill - Bubble Wrap - Paper - Corrugated - Peanuts - Double Boxed - None - Foam - Other (Explain) -External Packaging All the photos needs to be in jpeg or bitmap format. Please remember that you should keep the packaging material until the process is complete.

[@simple1278]

I love you

[@Nesszou]

As a consumer I hate packing peanuts and bubble wrap. One of the most annoying thing in my life. Seriously.
