I know it's all about just getting the item you want safely, but I can't lie, I love the experience of receiving a well presented package and personalized thank you card. For me, thats one of the things that sets Poshmark apart from other platforms. And since that's what I like as a buyer, that's what I do as a seller.

I like when item is sealed in plastic to protect from the elements I.e. rain, snow, floods etc.

I re-use all my packaging and clearly state that on my profile. I mostly use Amazon boxes and mailers and collect them from my neighbors to give them another life before recycling or the landfill. I hope people are reasonable enough to understand they're paying for the item and not fancy packing materials.

I personally stopped doing thank you cards and do a thank you sticker to seal the tissue paper shut instead. I think it’s nice to get a thank you but I don’t care if they don’t include one 🙂 enjoying this video series!

I recycle packaging. There's so much waste out there.

The tissue paper looks pretty, but won't protect your items if the box gets wet. I fold all my clothing items very neatly and place in clear poly bags then in a solid poly mailer. Thank you sticker on the package. Love the video series!

For me, all clothing needs to be shipped in a clear poly bag. I ship all my shoes stuffed with packing paper, and then wrapped individually with a sheet of packing paper. It's not pretty by any means, but I think it's a lot better than the packages I sometimes get wrapped in old Walmart bags. Personally have never felt like Thank you cards were necessary. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Amber. Love when you do these comparison videos. As someone who sells on Poshmark, I always put a thank you note in my packages letting the buyer know that I appreciate their purchase. I have also purchased many items and I'm always excited when I receive my package in the mail and when the seller takes the time to wrap the item carefully and include a handwritten note, it makes it that much more special.

I personally don't feel the need for a thank you note. I do usually throw one in if it's a pricey item, otherwise a thank sticker goes on my clear poly bag. Thanks for sharing!

I've pre-made a bunch of origami, and I drop one into packages I send out. I started actively reselling this year. This strategy helped me get more love notes because I think the special touch with the origami prompts them to give some kind of written response, whereas before people would rate and not leave a love note. I know love notes don't matter that much after you get to a certain point, but in the beginning it helps. For the holidays this year, I gifted a postcard with a stamp and left a note explaining, suggesting they use it to reach out to a loved one during this bizarre year. For the rest of packing, I reuse tissue paper and packing materials from my own online orders.

I have been writing personalized thank you notes, wrapping in tissue paper, adding bubble wrap or air pillows for added protection and putting a thank you sticker on the tissue wrapping. I've gotten good ratings on most things and some of them mention the TY note and packaging, but most don't. I am starting to feel like all of this extra effort really doesn't make much difference with a lot of people. So, once I'm out of notes, I may discontinue that. I think I've received maybe one thank you note on about a dozen purchases I've made.

It was very nice watching the video to see how others package the items. My grandmother tells me that I’m just extra lol because when I wrap the items. I will use wrapping paper then put them in a clear poly bag with a thank you card and sometimes a small free gift. I also put a thank you sticker on the bag as well. I will use the USPS products or I’ll use my poly mailers. I have different ones based on the seasons. For me this is what I like to do because it’s about quality.

Love the notes and tissue paper. Its the personal touch that sets poshmark apart from buying from stores.

I'm don't use tissue paper incase the box gets wet. I use those plastic bags and a thank you sticker to protect my item a little bit more. Only time I use tissue paper is when I'm wrapping a shoe box for a package 🙂

I love this series. Not only is it relevant content, but you’re supporting other Poshmark sellers AND using the money you make from the video to treat yourself as well. Everybody wins! You are one of my favorites since I’m a retired healthcare analytics person :) Turning data into business insights is good for us all!

I'm totally with you, as long as the item is as described and protected from the elements, I am happy :).

You don’t need fancy packaging or thank you notes. Just make sure it’s packaged correctly. They are buying the item not some kind of experience.

I almost always do a small thank you no. Most people love the extra touch and often mention them when rating. Also put in a plastic bag to protect item. But, it does add time when you have a lot of packages. Like the tu stickers

I used to do the works: tissue paper tied up with a bow and a thank you card. I completely stopped that. It was so wasteful of my money and time and resulted in so much trash. What I do now is put the item in a large zip lock bag (these are great because they can be reused, I find myself grabbing extras from my stash for all sorts of reasons lol) and then into a box or priority Tyvek envelope. I only use tissue paper now for stuffing shoes and for wrapping shoes or purses that could get damaged if they are allowed to rub against the box or other items in the box. I do include a "business card" that says "You are enough, you are so enough, it is unbelievable how enough you are." The card does not have my info on it because I want the buyer to be able to pass it along if they so choose. It's a sentiment meant to make the recipient smile. Most people seem to enjoy how I ship my items, I've had no complaints over the lack of thank you card or tissue paper. I've had plenty of compliments about my card and the zip lock baggies though. ;)

Great series! I’m in the no thank you note lazy seller club 😂

That polymailer with the stars was so cute!!

Hi Amber, this was a really good and fair way to compare how Poshmark sellers package their sales! I usually send mine in a Priority mail box and in a decorative polymailer with thank you card, however Poshmark isn’t the main way I sell, eBay is, and for eBay I generally include a packing slip with a handwritten note expressing Thanks and pack it carefully. On occasion I have included the item in a decorative polymailer inside the box depending on the communication I have had with the buyer (eg if they mention it is a gift etc...). I just try to be as nice as I can! 😁 I’m glad that you look at these situations with your “Amber Analytic Eyes” , I really enjoy and appreciate that! Cheers, Pat

I love these videos. For me ... I use Tyvek envelopes for most single items. Everything gets folded in a clear Poly bag sealed with a Thank you sticker. I used to write notes. Then I went to business cards .... now I just add the sticker. My other favorite is Regional A box for chunkier items and small shoes.

Really interesting to see how different folks package up their items! I like to include a thank you note in mine, and use a combination of recycle boxes and polymailers to send everything out.

Such a great series! It's cool to see how others decide to wrap up their goodies.

I was just thinking about these packaging videos of yours the other day and here it is lol. I usually use eBay tape on mine because it was free 😉. So far no posher has been offended

I have added a personal note and a piece of candy. So far my poshers have loved them. I feel if they are already making a purchase the least I can do is take the time to say thank you and a little something sweet. :)

I used to write individual thank you cards. As I started getting more sales, I decided to just go with thank you stickers that I put on the bagged items that go into postal packaging (tyvek or box) 😊💕

Glad to see you posting Amber!!! Can’t wait for the next one. ☀️💃

They should all have a layer of plastic cause rain. Personally I also use tissue paper, air packs and any box I can find- most all recycled, with a small thank you. Because for me it’s just about getting things out of my house into a good home 💐

I always put my item in a ziploc or other sealed plastic bag just in case it gets wet. So far, I put in a thank you note. I use padded poly envelopes unless a larger item then I use a recycled Amazon or other box. I prob like the bubble wrap parcel the best. But they all came intact so that’s good. 😀

Bubble wrap seems most appropriate for breakable items and doesn’t make much sense for clothing. Thank you notes are a nice touch and help set you apart from other sellers.

Great video Amber! I'm surprised so many people seem to put clothing in bubble wrap - I only use it for shoes and breakables. I also have a thank you sticker with my closet / store / IG info and I write the name of the person on it to personalize it.

I love this series idea. I am just starting to take my reselling seriously, so I ordered two items from Poshmark to see how they were packed. I was so disappointed when both of them were packaged plainly - just the item inside the packaging. I still gave them 5 stars and left a comment.

I love when you do these! I typically just place items in the padded flat rate envelopes except for shoes and bulkier items which get boxes. Since I'm hyper conscious about my environmental impact, I don't add anything other than thank you stickers on the outside of the packaging or I reuse air bubbles/bubble wrap/ etc to protect things.

I send packages with as little waste as possible. I reuse envelopes & boxes; but do wrap items in tissue and add a thank you sticky note. Sending one item in a medium box seems to be a bit wasteful.

Loved what you ordered! I try to reuse whatever packaging is sent when I purchase something. I wrap the item in a USPS priority envelope, which I then put into another USPS envelope. Good protection, the buyer can reuse the wrapping envelope, and it’s lighter to lug to the post office than boxes.

I am different from all them. On clothes, after processing I fold neatly snd put in sealed plastic clear bags. With item number. Then after purchase, I wrap in pretty tissue generally. I tie with a ribbon generally. Then I put pretty thank you stickers on if necessary to hold package together. I add a card with envelope that I don’t write in as a gift. Usually add stickers or another type of gift. I have a card I’ve made up with motivation wording. I write a personal note on back of it. I may add other gifts if I have them and/or if item made me a profit. I then wrap them as needed and put in Polly then maybe a box. Most customers have said they prefer poly over box, if it fits in a mailbox. I often buy pretty poly bags. If it’s breakable, I wrap in tons of bubble and Cushing wrap.

So glad to have you back and YES to EBay content!

Thanks for doing this video! If the items I sell are machine washable I just wrap in the packing paper and use a thank you sticker. I just find plastic so wasteful because it cannot be recycled. Only if an item could truly get damaged if wet do I put it in a plastic bag. Use the Tyvek USPS mail envelope or one of the Priority boxes. Shoes I wrap individually in packing paper and do make sure I put bubble wrap/air pockets in to protect them. If item is delicate (suede heels for example) I'd put each one separate in a bag in the box w/packing materials. No thank you note. One of my goals in doing reselling is to reduce waste and the packing paper is easy to recycle. I buy on Posh too - I enjoy the card or wrapping paper - for about a second. I just want my item in good condition - beyond that how it is packaged doesn't really influence me to shop again. No preach, just my own personal opinion.

I re-use boxes from my work because they’re free and it gives them a second use. I pack in plastic, add a thank you note and finally wrap in tissue. The packages that I sent at Christmas also had a candy cane. Maybe a little too much lol

I like the video Amber...I’m new to your channel...I think I’ve seen you in some live chats on others RU-vidrs channels tho. I’m not a fan of thank you notes either...I guess I like the idea of them but I fall short when it comes to sending them so I sure don’t expect them. But it was nice to see how others send items out

I wish I found this video earlier! I had no idea what “wrap like a gift” meant for posh and I went a bit wild with plastic sealed bag, pretty tissues, silk ribbons and thank you cards printed from vista print... although a lot of my “love notes” are about my packaging so maybe it encouraged more of my buyers to leave love notes 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have missed your detailed videos! I am so glad to see you back! TFS!

Great video series! I package everything in a plastic bag to keep the item safe from inclement weather and include a thank you business card and sticker. I only add a personal note during December in the form of a Holiday card.

Thank you notes go straight into recycling and are a total waste IMO. A thank-you sticker conveys the same message and is fine by me though unnecessary. Same with fancy packaging... I seriously don't care. Just send me what I paid for in the condition described in a timely manner. If I can go a step further in my crankiness, I hate free 'gifts'. A recent purchase sent me a junky star necklace with the letter 'J' on it. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?

I wrap in tissue and always add a thank you card

Sent out in June! Hahah glad you got to finally open the packages 😂 Love seeing how other people ship their items! Thanks, Amber

Great video amber! Would love if you showed off the items you purchased because I’m curious to see what you buy :)

i include thank you stickers and only do cards on expensive orders,those little cards add up over time.

I always package inside a plastic bag in case of inclement weather and I started including Adult coloring sheets, which I use to write a short Thank you note . For November and December used Winter themed pages. I figure if they want to color they can, or pass along to a child.

I spent years not including a thank you note. Then I started just writing thank you on a post it note. Recently we had vistaprint cards printed with logo, email, store names, RU-vid channels and left about a third of the card with blank space for a short personal message. Also include a sticker now too. The sticker and card add about 5 cents to each order. I’m guessing most people don’t care if we do that or not, but for the ones that do, there it is.

The chinos look like they were shipped using the original materials from the company they bought them from. I've definitely done that for items that are brand new (retail arbitrage OR items I bought for myself that didn't end up fitting and I was too lazy to return).

The classics from amber! Love! Thanks for sharing ❤️

Love this video! Comparing the posh packages!

Love this series!

I remember when you did my unboxings Ammber 💜🥰 I sees so long ago 🤣🤣 So nice to see you 🥰 I pray all is well

I package my stuff up in clear plastic poly bags that are resealable in the hope that they can reuse it for something. That clear bag goes into a cute poly mailer with a thank you post card, and voila 😁 No tissue paper for me. I hate dealing with that stuff. Lol

The plastic bags look really clean for nicer items

I'm weird, I love to include at TY note and include a bit about the item or if there is a story behind it. I always wrap in plastic in case the package is ever left where it can get wet.

Also thank you stickers

Still love the series! :)

Omg I need to step up my shipping.

Some of those items are not protected. you couldve cut that dress(?) opening it. The other on wrapped in tissue?? What if the box got wet. I wrap my items in plastic. Then I put in a polymailer and before I put in a box.

I honestly hate "thank you" notes. As a seller my hands are nearly arthritic so I don't like to write them, though I will if I had a conversation with the buyer just to maintain the sense of contact. As a buyer I always feel obligated to keep the note which also feels kinda weird because I don't actually know the seller. I just use USPS Priority mailers, a plastic shirt bag or duck brand packaging paper and a thank you sticker. To me nothing says Poshmark more than a Priority box on my porch.

Love your videos!!

Very helpful!

Never understood the need for tissue paper for some reason. Doesn’t protect anything and can lead to staining if wet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was an ebay seller first. I use a thank you sticker and tissue paper that is it. Not a lot of fluff from me 😆

Great video Amber, thanks very much for sharing good job

I don’t include thank you notes. All my inventory items are in individual plastic bags for protection. And I ship with pretty poly mailers or a tyvec if it doesn’t fit. I put a pretty “happy mail delivery” sticker on the outside of the package. I will write thank you on the outside of package if they bought several items or bought a high dollar item.

Love your videos! Keep em coming! :)

I always ship my orders in a clear poly bag inside the usps box. I mostly use 1092 or 1097 boxes and didn’t realize I could use the flat rate boxes. No thank you note, just a thank you sticker on the outside.

awesome video!! keep up the good work .

I put the item in a plastic bag and then whatever bag I can recycle with lots of tape wrapped around it. lol. I am not going to go out and spend money on tissue paper, etc. I do throw in a small gift inside.

Thanks!

Amber a great video, Happy New Year. I think the flat rate mailer is definitely the way to go. I also think purchases under $100 should just be tissue paper with a thank-you sticker. The more someone buys, then I think a cute note card with the simple thank you is quite appropriate

Random but you’re so pretty 😍

1. Why bubble wrap clothing? Bizarre to me. 2. I put item in a sealed clear polymailer/clothing bag so if the packaging is damaged or box is wet its protected. 3. I use to do thank you notes but never got a mention in any love notes so i stopped. I do write thank you on packing slip and have a thank you sticker - 500 for $5 off ebay :-). 4. Use free boxes from USPS on all packages.

plastic bag and a thank you sticker is plenty!

I don’t see the point of bubble wrap with clothing and less it has delicate buttons or some thing.

Excellent video.. ❤

Why would anyone use a med flat rate box to mail a light garment?

That's a lot of wasted space... Smaller boxes could be used to save 💰. Or poly mailers as stated. Or tyvek mailers from the post office.. also free.

I have a bunch of Poshmark postcards and I feel obliged to use them. Like what else am I gonna do with them and I have started including them in some of my packages. If I’m not in a hurry. But for the most part I stopped Writing notes

Does anybody know a good place to get a large clear plastic bag like the one shown right in the middle of the video at 3:46 ? Thank you! ❤️

I use recycled packaging, and always do a little thank you note. but are you allowed to use USPS "Flat Rate" packaging? I thought USPS didn't allow that if you aren't purchasing flat rate postage. I see many people do this and it sure would make things easier.

I've noticed lately that buyers don't accept an item. No big deal posh automatically sends you the funds after the 3rd day but does anyone have tips for this?

Hi! I’m still new to reselling and just wanted to ask - if it’s a Poshmark shipping label, we can use Flat Rate Boxes?? I thought those boxes were specific to a Flat Rate Shipping label? Do Poshmark labels qualify? Is it any size flat rate box, or only medium? Thanks

This is a bit insane to ship one piece of clothing in a medium flat rate box. Those flat rate boxes only save money, if you are shipping heavy items. I shipped a 2 piece winter jacket compressed in a box out via FedEx ground. Dimensional weight shipping would have scared off any buyers, if I didn't compress the jacket. If I order from a large clothing retailer, the item comes in a poly bag and a shipping bag. They keep the shipping cost to a minimum, to make a profit. My Prana pants was shipped in a paper shipping envelope. I don't bother with a thank you note or invoice, it's just redundant.

Why is everything brand new? Isn't Poshmark a reselling platform?!?

I don't understand the bubble wrap on clothing. What is it protecting them from?

Too much waste. I like the one with the least paper and no thank you card, just the sticker.

AM I FIRST?!?! 😃

The chinois packaging was beautiful but I believe it’s probably a little overkill and I have a feeling there’s going to be people that would have a problem and give her a push back because it was a little over the top with the tissue paper and the plastic and…and...and...
