Title: Shipping advice from the knowledgeable or experienced Vendors needed...
Post by: Howaboutnow? on May 23, 2013, 03:34 am
Hey since I cant post on any other threads, I need your help veterans of SR.

Going to start a C vendor listing and need your advise please...

I have the good stuff :)

Can anyone please give me a step by step flawless shipping process?

Do I vacuum seal?

Do I first class stamps or use express/priority or ALL?

Do I take to the counter or use drop boxes?

Sorry for all the questions but I have read the forums and everyone has a opionion... LOL

All this will only be US domestic..

PLEASE help as I want to get this going ASAP.

Thanks SR

Always use vacuum seals, multiple even, depending on what you're shipping. Always use drop boxes, as they're completely anonymous. Postage doesn't matter much, just treat it like a regular package, because that's how you want it to be perceived. No excessive taping or anything else that will draw attention to it. If you're only shipping domestic, the risk is very low. Thousands of people do the same as you do, only with eBay or something like that.

Vaccum and even Xray seal is nice... but the odds are thousands of packages... unless its smelling pretty dank or spilling onto the floor your golden...

Ideally vacuum seal. The bags aren't expensive.

Vac it multiple times, use gloves so you have no fingerprints on your packages, print the address instead of writing it, use stamps onto which you don't have to spit so they hold, put a sender adress onto the package which is nearly located to the box where you drop it into, don't put everything into one box.

That should be enough for domestic packages.

Most mail is business related, so make it most business looking you can.
Use standard envelopes or boxes, always print the name and address.
Don't use all BIG CAPS :)
