- In this video I show you three ways to resize your boxes to ship items.
My ebay store: www.ebay.com/usr/mojo88forever
Here's the box cutter/perforator tool shown above:

Link to where I found the hot wheel box video several months ago:
• EBAY SELLER'S STEP BY...
Credit on this one goes to her. It's been a huge help sending smaller fragile items.
The key is to have a cat supervise you! Make sure you're doing right!
The look on his cats face 🤣 “That was RUDE SIr!” Im dead! 🤣🤣🤣
Came for the box tips, stayed for the beautiful kitty 😺
🙄please
This video is easiest to understand on box resizing that I’ve seen. I think I may finally get it. Thank you so much
I had to mail a 30"x10"x1.5" package for Christmas. Looking for boxes was more costly than the item was worth. Combined your 1st and 3rd technique and repurposed the box my cat food came in to be the perfect size in under 5 mins!! Thank you so much!
Boxes are expensive 😭 especially for small businesses who don't have the space or $ to buy huge wholesale amounts. Then some people complain about the price of shipping but it's like I'm not making the numbers up 😭 help
Enjoyed the preferations of the perforations, thanks.
lol... take a shot for each preferation perforation for an extra fun time.. =P
Great video though! Still watching to see what #3 is... everyone has really pumped it up.
All 3 of these were great but that third one was unbelievable. Who knew? Thanks so much.
That third method: genius!!!!!
I’m a leather worker and I use a bone folder to crease cardboard. Never pierces the cardboard, yet makes a nice folding line.
OMG! I hung out for all three, got to the last one, implemented immediately and in less than 5 minutes I had a box to ship a Barbie that needed to go out, after spending over an hour trying to do something makeshift myself.
The last box tip was exactly what I needed in my life 😁 Crazy how easy that is.
I almost stopped watching because the first one we all know. The second one too much work. the third one was why didn't I think of that. All those toys that are long and skinny! I'm glad I waited for the 3rd one.
Very helpful video! You might run down to Joanns or Michaels and get yourself a rotary cutting mat to keep on your surface very helpful to protect your surface. Thanks for posting!
Thank you! Very helpful (especially if you work at a company that doesn't buy boxes at all - you work with what you find)
You would make an amazing teacher or father. Best regards
The last tip is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
#3 tip is fire. I have been using it the past few days and this has saved me so much time. I get free boxes from a grocery store so resizing is key.
Glad it helped you! It is definitely a timesaver, and a lifesaver if you don't have the perfect box.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the tips they will come in handy😀
For the first tip..I always cut the corners first 2nd sit a ruler in the cuts horizontal so you can easily pass your knife in a straight line to have a better bend later.
Great video. Idea 3 was really mind blowing. I had to pack a 24 inch monitor into a Costco shipping box to return the item to IT during this period of lockdowns. I almost went to try method 2 but decided to wait for 3. And man it blew my mind away too. Perfectly fit the monitor.
Thank you for presenting these practical examples along with steps that are clear and easy to follow.
This is valuable info. I shipped a dollhouse 30 x 30 x 9 by using two 24 x 20 x21 size boxes. I saved so much money. Plus it was fun. Now I am making a smaller box. Thanks a bunch.
Great video and tips!! Loved your “audience” helper! ❤
Great video. That last method was wild indeed. I had to rewind to once again watch the moment the box changed. It was like a magic show. Thanks so much for the tips!
Oooooh!!! You are a box-magician! I wish I'd seen this years ago.
Brilliant! Thank you, I did my 1st shipment yesterday. So much info I dont know but need. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Thank you, this is actually going to save me hella money so I don't have to buy a custom box from UPS for a very cheap item.
Mind blown on number 3. How simple and a perfect solution!!
The last one is magical! Thanks for sharing the ideas.
Got such a kick out of this. “Looks like garbage”. It was great. Learned a lot thanks
#3 just saved me a bunch of money on a box. Thanks!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

Very helpful, thank you! Also, cute cat!
Thank you! Yeah, Apollo is my special assistant. She tends to stand exactly where I'm working. Supervising. Internally criticizing, no doubt.
Point of view...See's cat. Instant thumbs up!
Great vid! And you can also slip the box in a poly mailer to cover up those slits to protect from water.
Aww... Your assistant is adorable.💜
That last tip is what I was hoping to see, thanks! Gonna save this one :)
I like this video style, to the point, you should keep going!
Love the little helper 🐈
Thank you from the UK.Great technique...your cat is delightful...
You do an excellent job of making sure anyone can comprehend. If they don’t, it certainly isn’t on you. Love the possibilities! Off to buy the tool. Shout out to the cat because I saw -what are we doing? who are we doing this for? Why? Made me smile! Enjoyed & Appreciate !
SUPER helpful and easy to follow! TFS!
I just used #3 and it was magical! Thanks so much!
This is good! The basics of scoring will help me. Since I'm ocd about the details, I'll be using a ruler to measure twice - cut once. THANKS!
BTW - cute cat! 😊 💜
Thank you, I didnt know the 2nd method and never got clear instructions on the 3rd one before. Great explanations
Thank you, the last one made me realise I've been trying to make a big smaller but actually I should make a small one narrower and longer
Good stuff I also make boxes from larger ones. The perforation box cutter is what i use also. You can also just use the back of the box cutter blade i.e. the dull side, to score the line, less chance of cutting all the way through.
Wasn't expecting the 3rd one. Awesome!!!
2 and 3 were new to me, but I have one you don't have, so I feel like I am now at an advantage.
Glad i found you.. can't wait to watch more
I know this video is a year old, so hopefully you now know that you can purchase a box resizer tool on ebay for about $20. It's much easier because it marks the box all the way around. No uneven lines. Appreciate the video because not everyone knows about the handy tool on ebay.
Thank you so much. You just made my time packaging so less painful.
I’m obsessed with this video. Haven’t got to 3rd trick yet but deff impressed with first two! I just never know where to start whrn I have a box that I know the sq feet is there but not sure how to go about doing this. I get it once I see you start but never know where to start
Add a good utility or kitchen scissors to your shopping list, my guy. Good info. I'll also mention that the eBay shipping supplies are terrible deal, at least what they show me is. I can get packing tape much cheaper at the local Home improvement store.
Carbon steel scissors used for cutting kevlar cloth are the best for cardboard I've found. Never go blunt and make even the thickest cardboard easy work. I love scissors, one of the best ever inventions.
The second one was pretty interesting. I wouldn't have thought you could get 2 from one 8x6x4 box. Very cool. I saw the third one on, I think, Facebook. A lady was doing it and yeah, it blew my mind too! It's a fantastic trick. Great video! I just subbed.
P.S. You keep saying the word wrong. It's PER-fo-ra-tion. The first syllable is like "person", not "prepare". (Swap your "r" and "e".)
I didn't even notice I was failing with the word! Thanks for pointing it out. I'll do better in the future, I promise! 😅
I appreciate the kind words, and thank you for watching!
Joe
I just bought these boxes & followed your instructions, lol. Great video BTW~!
Great resizing demos thank you!
Awesome video. You're a great teacher. Thank you!
Third one is brilliant. I don't have a perforator but I have a tracing wheel used to transfer marks from sewing patterns which should work.
Great video. I'm sending someone from a Facebook a reference to your video.
Actually, with the 🎇🎆 third technique, I'll tell them.all to watch!
Love the Hot Wheels box! That would work for jewelry. And I do have the boxes in my storage room.
I subbed. I like your style. 😊
Correct!!! Mind blown. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. Great video. Hi from Ireland.
Loved it! Keep 'em coming.
Mind blown on that last one! Amazing. Heidi
the cat helped me concentrate so Cute!!
She's definitely a cutie. And she's getting even needier as she ages. Such a sweetheart though! Thanks for stopping by!
Kitty is like "who ya talkin to daddy?"

Amazing amazing 😍 thanks so so much for this tutorial ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent video, thanks! I'll be using the second method, might try the third out on a long item I want to sell on ebay.
Very informative, I'll be using that last one a lot. By the way, your cat is super sweet and thinks you are wonderful, lol.
Thank you. It's a tuff way to turn a dime, we need all the help we can get.
Second video tonight that I’ve watched about “preferations”. Thanks for the tip, and you’re not alone in using the wrong word, so laugh it off. Happy Holidays!
Just because of your beautiful kitty I decided to be a subscriber ! Now pls show her / him more often 😊 JK I totally liked your content too 🎉
❤Thanks for sharing !
Thanks so much! Very helpful
Great video! Thanks!
Great vid!
Thanks, good video. I preforate it to many videos which perforate boxes.
How do you estimate the right size of box to use for doing the resize?
clever.. thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! It means a lot, and I'm glad I could share some knowledge with you. Take care!
Thanks I love the 3rd way
Brilliant! thank you sir.. and yes love your cat ;)
Thanks for the video!
Demonstration #2 - How about laying the box flat before cutting with a ruler on the outside - then reassembling & taping it?
thanks so much! awesome vid
thank you, this helped me!
Nice video!
Very helpful, thanks
The first box resizer technique best for those bigger box, it will be a lot faster as there is space inside for hand to go around. I won't bother with smaller box, better to just wait till you get the right smaller items then add padding. The second box resizer for hot wheels is awfully will take a long time. A lot easier to have the correct small box.
Would you ship it in that box or place it in a poly bag? If using the poly bag with that created box would it be cheaper?
Ok I’m off to go try one of these. Wish me luck. I always feel like I finally got it but then go to start and I’m lost again…
What if your shipping something large and long and the length of your box is only an inch over so that's fine but the width of the box is too much? How would you cut the Box to deal with that
That's a voice for books on tape. Extra money: narrate while you ship
If you only have a regular box cutter, without the perforator... what i do anyway and it works well for me when i need to score something, i turn the box cutter upside down and use the dull side of the razor instead, if that makes sense... unfortunately i can't of a better way to word that.
Anyway this works well for me and I've never accidentally cut all the way through doing this, although you don't need anything more than medium pressure.
#2 is a new one. Will have to make it faster though. Imagine getting 100 separate hot wheel orders lol
Great video thank you
Very rustic your way of packaging, brother.Hahaha.
It can be useful in an emergency. Thanks for the video.
