This is really inspiring and informative. Thanks for sharing your journey. I would suggest relocating your cash drawers to underneath the counter.

[@theipasa23]

Great end excellent educational video. Where you buy the systems will all the componets? Link? Company?

[@tsharpton1]

You're store looks great, By The Way.!

[@theipasa23]

Thank you!

[@cyannepeppermint9242]

So glad you will put everything in an ebook. But Please don't sell for thousands like other pack and ship owners.

[@theipasa23]

Never will! Everything I do is in spite of others in the industry and their cash grabs. Still have to make it worth my time though

[@bondh20polo21]

I did the same on advertising on the TV. It's totally worth it. I did it at my AAMCO shop. I started a free month and then charged them after that. I had a realtor, jewel store, a print place. I will be doing the same when I find a place. I made a few hundred dollars. I also like the TV menu board. Cheaper and looks better.

[@theipasa23]

Totally agree, glad to hear it works!

[@terryw5500]

How much you charge to advertise

[@bondh20polo21]

I would put as little on your counter as possible. Make a shelf and put the desktop and cash register on the shelf. Also, for security reasons. I love your your mailbox sign for your front window. Where did you get it?

[@theipasa23]

That’s a good idea I’ll have to get that built. I designed the sign on signs.com

[@SandraFrancis-yb2pp]

Thanks for sharing all this great information! We're you nervous when you first opened up? How did you train yourself for the using the software? Also would you please share the links for the mailboxes, I have had the same run around who to use. Great job on all your build outs and saved you so much. 👏Congratulations and wish you the best. Thank you!

[@theipasa23]

Was totally nervous opening! Postalmate has good content on KZbin as well to help learn their systems. Mailboxes links are on my website www.theipasa.com. And thank you for watching!

[@katinaperry8466]

Love your buildout. What square footage is your storefront?

[@theipasa23]

2100sqft

[@halleberry853]

I’m in love with your channel ❤, exactly which POS Package did you get of the site? There’s so many different kinds

[@halleberry853]

Also where’d you get your credit card readers

[@theipasa23]

I got the standard package from TechShed running Postalmate

[@theipasa23]

They are through Canyan, one of the few credit card processing companies that works with Postalmate

[@831lance]

What website did you use to order your payment processing equipment? I heard you say Olsen & knives but I’m having trouble finding it. Can you provide a link by chance? Thank you!

[@theipasa23]

techshedusa.com They partner with Canyan and Global Payments Integrated which works with Postalmate for processing. If you purchase anything from them let them know I referred you. Thanks!

[@terryw5500]

When you package how much do you charge the customer for that bubble stuff

[@theipasa23]

I just include that in the price of the boxes. If someone purchases a box I will fill it with air pillows or bubble wrap. It’s about a penny per foot, so is tape, so include it with the box. If someone does a drop off I won’t charge since we are getting money from the carrier.

[@diannegardner2963]

Hello, where did you get the bubble wrap machine?

[@theipasa23]

Amazon!

[@tasheralovelock1006]

Is there a specific platform that you use to take monthly payments? How fore’s that process work?

[@theipasa23]

You can run those through the credit card processing company you choose to work with

[@terryw5500]

This is a big store nice size whats the cost

[@theipasa23]

Thanks it is 2220 sq ft. It’s $3200/mo with NNN

[@cyannepeppermint9242]

Please please put in notes the company that you ordered all your operating equipment/systems, computers etc. Please list types of cameras from Amazon. I am trying to model my store from yours and it is the best Design so far!! Thank you. Olsen & ??? I can never hear who you are saying. Sorry. Please list.

[@theipasa23]

All on my website www.theipasa.com

[@markryan9458]

Are you connecting 1 PC to all TVs? How are you pushing content to the TV's? What software etc. Thx

[@theipasa23]

I got Amazon fire TVs so I can upload what I want to Amazon photos and easily display on the screens

[@timothybracken1728]

dude what kind of flooring is that ? i want the same exact one !

[@theipasa23]

I’m not sure! Came with the place. Haha

[@timothybracken1728]

I see staples and UPS also use carpet, more traction for bad weather like rain/snow/etc.. @@theipasa23

[@timothybracken1728]

no slipping so less liability for operators , i was oging to go vyncl or VCT but im going with carpet for sure now

[@kee9837]

What was your initial start up costs?

[@theipasa23]

I was around $54,000 but built out the store myself. The 5 years projection video breaks them out.

[@lifeasdnae]

where did you get your computer system from ? Austin something ?

[@theipasa23]

I got mine from TechShed, but I am coming out with much cheaper packages for store equipment set ups if interested.

[@lifeasdnae]

@@theipasa23 yes i’m very interested

[@katinaperry8466]

Yes please do a video of your technology and pricing

[@bondh20polo21]

What Question did you ask the commercial agent/landlord? or what questions you wish you asked? What Mailbox did you decide?

[@theipasa23]

Good question. I asked how long the space had been vacant for, what is included in my rent price, is there NNN, and what is the process if my store goes bankrupt before the lease ends. The first few are negotiating points, if the store has been vacant for a while they may have more incentive to get you in there. The last one is a sad thought, but something every store owner needs to know just incase.

[@terryw5500]

Whats a nnn

[@theipasa23]

Also known as triple net, it’s a way for building owners to make the leaseholder pay for essentially all the expenses of the space. It’s pays your portion of property taxes, utilities, and maintenance.

[@Jflo2020]

[@terryw5500]
