    @CountingHobbies Před 3 lety +19

    Great video :) I used to buy thank you cards from Dollar Tree but then that became an additional cost so what I now do is I use the extra paper I cut from the shipping label and write my thank you note in there coz I hate wasting paper :) those polymailers are cute!

    • @Simplyfeliciaxo
      @Simplyfeliciaxo Před 2 lety +5

  • @tinnie824
    @tinnie824 Před 3 lety +19

    I actually try to leave a little bit of space where I fold and seal my polymailer because if it's folded too snug against the item, you run the risk of the buyer accidentally cutting into it

  • @JJBabbles
    @JJBabbles Před 2 lety +2

    This was the opposite of boring - you were clear & concise & showed everything I wanted to see, without adding a lot of unrelated chatter!
    I've watched hundreds of videos on this subject & yours is one of the Few I've been able to watch all the way through, because you stayed on topic the whole time - which is exactly why I found this video so helpful!
    I love watching genuine order packing videos, I find them useful but also quite satisfying/calming (the same way cleaning videos can be satisfying/calming to watch)
    All this to say: Tysm for sharing your tips with us - I love the extra touches, like the thank-you stickers & cards - it really makes a difference & it's not silly at all!
    I'd love to know where you got your flat lay background from - I'm going to see if you've already made a video on it.
    Thanks again!

    Clearly I'm binging youtube today with all of my comments haha! BUT, Dymo 4 XL is LIFE changing! First of all, it's heat transferred/thermal so ZERO ink needed. I order rolls maybe 2 times a year and they last forever since they are rolls of 200 labels. Second.... you can use it for other things. I make label stickers with mine for organizing my stuff. Sometimes I make funny labels for boxes that are ugly if I am shipping on Mercari, I use it for labeling storage bins for the basement, I even make a general thank you message that I stick on my cellophane bags etc etc.

    • @bperez9066

    I use plastic bags too! Not the bags you use but just clear, ziploc bags I bought online. I feel like it protects the items better than just sticking in a poly or box. Maybe because I live in WI lol...but I package my items as if they were going to be sitting in an inch of snow :)

  • @dakotayork4677
    @dakotayork4677 Před 3 lety +3

    I do have some advice for your printer, ahah! I've found the dollar tree sells 4x6 labels by jot you can use in your regular printer, they're basically 5.5 cents (at 18 labels for a dollar) and they stick. You could literally get them to send it to your local dollar tree via online or pay for ups shipping (six bucks). the only issue you will run into is needing to buy 24 packs of them at once. I find them handy, but today I sold my first poshmark item and had an issue with the printing size, so you may want to work the bugs out with the printer on regular paper first before wasting labels like i did :( haah.

    Hi! I see so many people complementing you on you packaging strategy and I too think it’s very thoughtful, but it buffles me that no one reacts to how wasteful it is…
    You package your items in not one, but two layers or unnecessary plastic just for the cute looks. For me as a customer it would be much more important to see that the seller cares about the environment and spares the plastic. It would feel awful for me to have to throw all those plastic bags I get for ordering one sweater. It is still 100% possible to wrap sth sustainably and pretty.
    Don’t mean to criticize you, you seem to be a very thoughtful and caring person, so here is just some food for thought! Especially since people come here for tips, you could inspire many to think more sustainably about the packaging.

      Exactly. The shipping bags can be easily purchased on amazon made from recycled paper and not expensive at all. And the second plastic layer is completely useless. It is highly unlikely that the package will get soaked in the Mail

    We're well into our Posh journey and still use our regular Canon printer and the free 4x6 USPS priority mail labels and just adjust the size to 4x6 and 70% when printing :) Make the change as soon as you can it's nuts how much time and hassle it saves you

      Thanks for that great tip! I already have a Rollo printer by this point but that’s a great option for a regular printer!
