Thank you so much. I’m going to start selling my wreaths mainly because I only make them for myself usually, & I am running out of room to keep them! I have given some as gifts which were very well received, so it is good to see just how you ship your wreaths & also how you price them up, which seems like a minefield in itself, lol! I don’t want a business as such as I’m nearly 72, but SO enjoy making them, especially after watching you. Thank you xx

Hi Jenny! I've been watching your videos all week now! I'm so glad I found you... I've sold on ETSY for several years. Always afraid to dive into wreaths bc of shipping prices. I see the smaller 18 in box will ship across the country for 12.00, but the 20 in box jumps up to almost 60.00! How do you justify making larger wreaths if you're using much more materials and time... only to have to put the extra $ you make into shipping? I feel like I'm speaking to a real celebrity! I'm so proud of you! God bless you, your family and your business. You do amazing work and you're an inspiration to us! 🌷👊🙏🤗

@JennysWreathBoutique 3 года назад

Hi! I’m so glad you found me! Thanks for watching my videos 😄. Yes, once that DIM weight gets factored into shipping with USPS, it’s way too expensive. That’s why I only ship my larger wreaths through FedEx. It costs around $20-30 instead. Still expensive, but a lot less than USPS.

Thank you so much I'm 65 and decided I wanted to do something to supplement my income and crafts have always been my love. I was intimidated about shipping them, how to figure out the cost and didn't think about using my kitchen scales. I do have one question, why are you going to use FedEx for the larger wreaths?

@JennysWreathBoutique Год назад

This is what I used to do. The cost to ship the larger wreaths USPS was crazy high. I now do things a little different as shipping prices and things have changed since this, but the basics are still the same. I have a whole mini course about it inside my VIP group, and I also have it available if you’re not in the VIP group. You can learn more about that at www.jennyswreathboutique.com/shipping

@JennysWreathBoutique 2 года назад

Hi Sallie! I’ve linked a couple common sizes that I use in the description box. There are many more sizes than that, though. If you can find the exact dimensions you need, just go an inch smaller or bigger. I’ve found that even numbered dimensions are easiest to find. You can also try Uline. They have all the sizes, but the shipping costs a lot.

Do you schedule your porch pickup through Etsy or through the USPS website? Any tips and tricks for scheduling it through Etsy if you use that way? Also if you ever are in need of more video ideas I would love to hear about how you decided on your shop's policies (including deciding to/not to ship globally) and how to "fix" a grapevine that isn't a perfect circle. Thanks for all of your amazing videos!

@JennysWreathBoutique 3 года назад

I schedule my porch pickup through Etsy now. That option wasn’t available when I made this video, but it’s SO much more convenient. All you do is go to your completed orders and click on schedule pickup. Etsy will automatically select the shipping labels you have purchased to ship out the next day. The only thing is you need to make sure it’s done at least the night before. 😊

Jenny, this was very informative! May I ask when you’re printing the shipping label, how do you know what “package type” to choose? Also does this way provide tracking? I just shipped my first item and it was $42 for shipping 😫😫 I was like there has to be a better way!! I’m glad I found this video!

@JennysWreathBoutique 4 года назад

Jeanette Flores I always choose “package/think envelope.” I think most products would fit in this category. Wow, $42 for shipping is nuts! That’s exactly why I cut my boxes down. My regular wreaths can fit in a 20x20x4 or 18x18x5, and those are the maximum dimensions you can ship with USPS before the prices skyrocket. If you have packages that are larger than that, I would choose FedEx. Usually that’s more expensive than USPS, but after a certain size box it’s way cheaper. I hope that makes sense! And yes this way does provide tracking. 😊

@JennysWreathBoutique 3 года назад

You can play around with different box sizes and weights with the shipping calculator on Etsy or on USPS. The largest box size I personally use is a 24x24x6. That definitely has to ship FedEx though. I don’t send invoices. Etsy customers checkout straight through Etsy’s checkout system, and I just send the receipt with a little handwritten thank you note on the receipt. I thank them, let them know how to take the wreath out of the box, and let them know there is a loop for hanging on the back of the wreath. I hope that helps!

@JennysWreathBoutique 3 года назад

So glad this was helpful! Generally, I can put a wreath that is up to 2” larger than the box size (left tip to leaf tip is how I measure the size of the wreath). So I will put a wreath that is 18-20” into an 18x18 box. I hope that makes sense. I use that same principle for any size.

Will one or the other work better to use with my phone?

@JennysWreathBoutique Год назад

You can’t print Etsy labels from your phone unless you’re just in the regular safari browser on Etsy and not the app. And you would need a printer that connects to Wi-Fi and can air print. I just use my regular printer and white paper. I don’t use a label printer.

@TheJecca38 4 года назад

I’m new and I want to list some hook racks how do you go about the shipping cost? Cause I did the automatic where Etsy does the cost and it was more than what I was going to sell my racks for 😢

@JennysWreathBoutique 4 года назад

Jessica Meza I’m not sure what hook racks are, but you can play around with the shipping calculator for USPS or FedEx if you know the size and weight of your package. Test it with a zip code that is pretty far away from where you are, so you can get a higher end of how much it will cost. Then you can add that cost to the price of your item and offer free shipping. That is what Etsy is encouraging people to do. I hope that makes sense. And I totally agree that shipping costs are so crazy expensive. It usually costs me about the same as it does to make my wreaths, or close to it. You could also use Etsy’s calculated shipping and enter the dimensions and weight of the package in your listing details, but if the cost is too high, it will scare your customers away. I hope that is helpful! But at the very least, purchase your shipping labels through Etsy because that will save you some money.

What does the receipt you add to your box look like? And what kind of instructions do I give customers in care if their wreath? Still no sales in my shop but I want to be prepared when it finally happens.

@JennysWreathBoutique 3 года назад

I answered your question under your other comment. As to what the receipt looks like, I didn’t include that because it is full of private information. However, it’s a list of what the customer bought and the cost breakdown (item cost, shipping, tax, etc.) and to and from address, customer name, tracking info. Stuff like that. Etsy makes this automatically with every order and you have the option to print it if you want.

Jenny, thanks for answering my last question - so kind of you! One more. How much is Etsy charging for the shipping on USPS for 18 x 18 x 4 box now since it's almost three years later. I just used FEDEX with a 24 x 24 x 4 box and it was $42.00. Luckily I only sent it to my daughter across country and not trying to make a profit.

@JennysWreathBoutique Год назад

It really depends on where it’s going. It’s gone up a couple dollars per package since I made this video.

@shariwilson6703 Год назад

Thank you!

@heartjt 2 года назад

Hi Jenny, can you measure the wreaths with a normal body weight scale or does it have to be a kitchen scale? I wasn’t sure if it the weight would be off with a regular scale.

@JennysWreathBoutique 2 года назад

I would use a kitchen scale because it’s so precise, down to the ounce. But if you have a very accurate scale that shows at least down to ounces, you could always try it!

What can I do for 24 inch wreaths???

@JennysWreathBoutique Год назад

Use a bigger box but the way I pack those is the same. Also, don’t use USPS for that size. Use FedEx or UPS

@Dghoreyshi 4 года назад

Thank you for the information. This was a great video! May I ask how much you pay in shipping for your 18x18x5 and 1 to 2 lb? I struggle with offering free shipping because I’m in California and if shipping to New York the shipping price goes through the roof and then there goes my profits. Do you have any advise?

@JennysWreathBoutique 4 года назад

Dghoreyshi an 18x18x5 (3 lb) costs just under $16 to ship from Idaho to New York. The 1 lb costs $5.50 (first class) and 2 lbs is about $11. I know shipping costs are the worst, and they will continue to go up. My best advise would be to add the shipping cost into the price of your wreath. It’s just part of the cost of making your wreath. I hope that is helpful!

Do you ship all your wreaths in the same size of box? What if the wreath has some greenery that overflows the box?

@JennysWreathBoutique 2 года назад

No I have many different sizes I use. I never want the box to be too small and have it ruin the wreath.

@JennysWreathBoutique 2 года назад

Do you mean you’re using 18” grapevine wreaths so your total diameter is around 22”-24”? If that’s the case, I would start with 22x22x6 boxes. I got mine on Amazon or Home Depot when I first started. I have some Amazon links for boxes in the description of this video. That may help get you started. If the total diameter is 18”, then I would start with 18x18x5 or 18x18x6 and cut it down to 18x18x5. Hope that helps!

@letia2622 2 года назад

Jenny, when you are creating the Etsy listing, does the weight have to be accurate at that time if you offer free shipping? I have trouble weighing the wreath since it’s not secured into the box. So I was thinking of just weighing it once a purchase is made and updating the weight once it’s packaged so I can have an accurate label.

@JennysWreathBoutique 2 года назад

Great question! No, only if you have calculated shipping because the customer would be charged according to the size and weight of the package. You don’t even need to have the weight listed if you offer free shipping.
