I know this is an old video but in case anyone stumbles on it now. If you throw that box in a poly mailer and ship as cubic shipping or box in a bag on pirateship..it'll be even cheaper.

@elizabethabbitt2425 4 года назад

This video is GOLDEN!! Shipping can be so unreasonably expensive and I had no idea about these shipping hacks! I’m definitely one that is all for saving a few pennies here and there 😆 thank you so much for the information!

Thank you thank you 🙏, you’ve answered my prayers regarding shipping and cost. I lose money on almost every shipment. As a fellow candle maker, can I just say how grateful I am to have discovered you. I’ve had a surge in candle sales doe to the pandemic, and I’m panicking because I’m so unprepared and disgruntled about my shipping woes. It’s difficult to find mentors on this community. You’re a mentor, and I appreciate you.🐝

Thank you so much for this!

@kaylawarner9193 4 года назад

I just rewatched this because I'm getting closer to actually being able to sell/ship my candles out but the shipping is overwhelming! Many of my friends and family live across the US and it crushes me to think they would have to pay more than 10 dollars just for shipping. My question is: Do you have to be able to print your labels at home for "pirate shipping?" and Do you find it cheaper to print your labels at home? Last question is, could I walk into my local USPS and just tell them I want to ship cubic priority? It seems too good to be true! Thanks so much for your help! I love your videos and happy you've been growing and making your dreams come true!

@MemoryBoxCandleCo 4 года назад

Yes you have to print your shipping labels from home if you want to use pirate ship. It’s so much cheaper than walking into the post office to pay (they won’t have priority cubic as an option, this is a special feature that only pirate ship offers) Also look into padded flat rate envelopes! If your candles are small enough to fit inside a box, you can put that box inside a padded flat rate and ship it for $7.75 anywhere in the US! ✨💕

@kaylawarner9193 4 года назад

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo THANK YOUUUUU. I asked my local USPS gal about "pirate shipping" she laughed at me. I thought it may be a fake thing and then I dug deeper and that's why I asked about having to print it at home, makes total sense! Thanks again for all your helpful information.

@lisacook6074 2 года назад

This video is perfect, and exactly what I was hoping to find! I’m just getting started I’m my candle making business and the thought of marketing and selling online was intimidating me, just because of the shipping aspect. So thank you for putting my mind at ease and providing great options. A few questions I have... could you please comment on insuring your packages? Do you insure it for the retail value? Does this significantly increase cost? Is there ever a time when you don’t purchase the insurance? One more question.. what do you do in the case of a buyer never receiving their candles, or if they’ve been stolen? Thank you!

@pamelavandertol6293 3 года назад

This was so helpful! I've never heard of Cubic Priority and it's fantastic! Do you just add a base amount to all of your candles for shipping then, to get the free shipping? And how do you determine the shipping amount? Based on your highest priced shipment?
