You do have another shipping option that I used to use all the time for shipping furniture.and bulky.items Greyhound bus company offers super inexpensive shipping. the merch is tracked and insured like any other shipping company. The only difference beside being waaaaay cheaper is that the buyer picks up the package at their nearest bus station as opposed to home delivery. I've used it.for years! Info on their website:)
Mannequins can be bought cheap in the going out of business sales for clothing stores so maybe that is why they did not sell quickly. I got my Plus Size plastic one for only 25.00 when dressbarn went out of business.
Don’t beat up on your self too much darling! 1) it’s the nature of the beast 2) if you’re going to be an entrepreneur your going to have to gamble and sometimes lose, you gotta pay to play 3) money flows out and in again, every thing has ebb and flow 4) you are taking score too soon, give this a minute..these are GREAT dress forms and high ticket items need longer to sell 5) Would you really want to erase this experience from your journey? look at the wisdom it’s bringing you and the opportunities and people too 💗🙏I hope next month you still have one or 2 left because i think my little sister might love one of these for her new reselling business ❤️🦸♀️you ARE superwoman !
Oh shoot, sorry Monica! I can only imagine how you felt when all those people on Insta didn't get back to you. Thank you for walking us through your thought process around this purchase. It sounds like something I might have attempted at some point but now will have some additional things to think through before pulling the trigger. I see the "should I buy this?" polls you described and am sometimes shocked at the responses. I hope people don't rely too heavily on the response because everyone's reselling business is different and only you know what sells best for you. I'm sure this vid will help you get rid of those last 6 dress forms! I definitely thought about taking you up on that offer but I just don't find enough plus size clothing to justify the need for a mannequin. Could for sure see it being useful for some other resellers though. I hope they go quick for you! :)
The forms really are great, and overall I know people who purchase them, will get a lot of use out of them. I just went a little too big on this one (haha they say pregnancy brain is a real thing)! And yes, the polls truly were a let down. I thought the difference with my polls were that I was asking people if they'd actually buy one... Well we all live and learn. 🤗
This story reminded me of the time my sister decided that she was going to repaint her entire house......by herself.......when she was 6 months pregnant. Last year her daughter turned 5, and she had to hire a painter to do the last 2 rooms so she could sell the house 😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely love the dress form that I purchased from you! It was totally a find. I'm sorry it wasn't a success for you but I'm proud of you for taking the leap and trying something new. I'm sure it was a learning experience no doubt :) Much love to you friend xx
Yes I bough 12 plastic women torsos for only $13 all I post them on Poshmark and mercurial I sold three already for $8 each but omg the hustle to ship finding the right box I had to drive thru alleys so I can find boxes now I’m scared to post the rest what do you recommend.""😳
I been long time subscriber catching up your videos congrats on your pregnancy! I have mannequins I dont use anymore they just scare me now lol. I just use one hanging mannequin. The mannequins you sold are good quality .
I feel ya! I bought a pallet thinking they were all shelf pulls and realized afterwards they were customer returns aka salvage items! I freaked out because the listing stated no cancelations, no transfers. Luckily I was able to call and cancel as a one time courtesy but man, that was almost a costly mistake! I felt so silly and amateur haha 😄
No, I didn't. I'm not sure it would matter much since I offer free shipping on the listing. I do have local pickup on Marketplace though...and no bites. 🤗
