If any of you live in the us usps has free flat rate padded envelopes so it only 7.20 to mail anywhere domestically or internationally no matter the weight. You can also print shipping labels from their website so you don't have to go to the post office and can just pay online then put the packages in your mailbox on in a box next to your mailbox or you can even schedule for a truck to come and pick up the packages for free. I hope this helps 😊
Hi Rachel, This video is so helpful, but I was wondering if you'd create a video about how you advertise your products and what are the best social media in your opinion?
Thank you so much for making this video! The thought of mailing items scares me a lot for some reason but after watching your video I feel more comfortable with being able to sell some of my jewelry online 😊
Thank you for this video. I’ve been planning to open up my shop but I have too many ideas to choose from to actually sit down and put in the work lol.. currently moving to New York to help my family get situated before I start my journey. So again this was a lot of help and very good information.
You don’t even have to go to your local post office there’s services where they can collect your packages regularly on a schedule date from where you want to them to.
thanks for this, gives me ideas how I should go about nailing of my handmade cards to buyers, I have an etsy shop which is currently closed for now until I make more to sell lol
Awesome video. You shared some interesting information. :3 I'm new to Polymer Clay Crating and I've been practicing. I love watching your videos they are such an inspiration to me. Just purchased my first ever charms from you. 🌟 I was wondering if you woul consider making a video on the basic shapes you make for polymer clay. I have yet to find a tutorial on TH-cam that focuses on shapes. More specifically for charms. Thank you. 💕 😃
I have etsy, but idk about storenvy but i think you can print a shipping label because I buy from storenvy and a lot of my packages come with shipping labels
you probably won't see this. but hi! I'm new and live your channel. about to binge watch. I'm gonna hopefully, make my own store and sell These and maybe smelly stuff... but what do you use to make them. I've never made them before. any videos to kinda guide me through it??
Hah! You encouraged me to keep on uploading charms on my eShop ♡ I already send on my FB page but I think it would be even better to don't discard that possibility :3
You are the best i LOVE to look on your videos and my dream are to be that good that you are and have a online shop and do my i own charms one day p.s i tryed to do one charm but it turned out super weird
Hi Rachy, I’ve started an online shop on Etsy and wanted to know if you send your charms domestically as a parcel or letter ? It just seems like my charms being sent are so light and small to have to pay for “parcel” which is about $8.00 which is more than the cost of my charms themselves . But you were able to send your charms internationally as a “letter” with no problems . When declaring what item in is the mailer , writing charms isn’t an issue with the post office worker seeings as its going through as a “letter”? Or are they less strict with international mailing? I hope this makes sense ... i just was told by the worker that if I wanted to send my keyrings or charms domestically I’d have to pay for parcel service. :(
Someone plz answer. What do you do if someone Dm you on Instagram to do a review of your slime, how do I send it do them, or ask what's your PO Box or something like that
This takes so much effort... I really want to start my own store, but I don't want to buy a lot of packaging supplies because I don't know if anybody would buy my stuff. What do you advise?
@Kristina KK: First off, I'm sorry for my bad english. Second, you can advertise your crafts on your channel. If many people start to ask about your crafts and considering/commenting about buying your crafts you can start your bussiness. Don't forget to announce your shop launch.
Kristina KK That's exactly how I started off- I didn't know that anyone would want to buy my charms either, but slowly more and more people started to and I've gone from restocks with like 10 charms to now having to make over 200 charms each time lol I've only recently started buying in bulk, so I suggest what I first did and only buy the few things that you need until you build up your business :)
Creative Rachy i am from India it's a total hard work I salute you and all the other people who puts so much efforts to start their own business I am a baker and I know how one has to struggle for orders at the start as I am still struggling with it yet I take orders through my instagram account but still being waiting for orders well I can just wait and hope for the best to happen and never lose hope and thank you so much for sharing this video of yours as I have never seen a video like this one and I really love your charms oh yes seeing your video's I too have started to make some charms but unfortunately I am unable to find any kind of pins through which my charms could be hanged no eyepin no head pins nothing I just don't know what to do.
Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all your support on this video- I'm glad a lot of you have found it helpful! To address all the comments asking "why is there nothing in you store?", my charms always sell out very quickly, long story short. Large restocks are announce on most of my social media and mini ones usually on Instagram. If you see nothing listed in my shop or everything is labelled as "sold out", chances are that you have just missed a restock or I am working my hardest behind the scenes to make new charms to sell for everyone to buy :) this means that most of the time my shop is empty, but I try my best to keep it stocked up regularly! I hope this explains everything and I'm sorry if I cause you any inconvenience x
This video is such a blessing to me. I have wanted to start selling my creations for so long. I have never believed in myself enough to actually do it. plus, I didn't know how to start. I have ZERO support. Thank you so very much. I just subscribed to you channel! : )
I literally filmed a similiar video today how funny haha! This video is going to be so helpful for people! The width is the same here in the UK I send all mine as large letters too :D
This was seriously the most helpful video ever! This is the hardest part I think about owning an online shop and your tips and tricks are super helpful! Thanks for this great vid! ❤
Here in the UK, Royal Mail have a Drop and Go service - you have a prepay card which you leave at your local post office, drop your packages off and then later on they weigh everything up and charge the card :)
Hi! I’m thinking of starting a business on Etsy and I have a question. Is there any risk of the polymer clay charms snapping in the shipping and how can you prevent it?
Can I send something to you when I get my charm from the shop?😊 Already bought your charm. Thank you for advice! Also in Russia you cannot choose the envelopes, they have only standard ones🙁
oh man, I haven't touched polymer clay in years but if I'd seen this back then I would have been over the moon! so many questions answered that I'd never figured out, thanks Rach 😄😄😄💕
I'm looking to start a business this year I want to make enough to cover my part time job as I struggle so much with it! So this is helpful thank you :)
I want to start a shop for my yt channel featuring some home-made art/merch but the thing is my parents dont know about my channel and they would probably say no to my channel even after 1 year of yt and 13k subs. And i dont know a website to make my shop either and how to claim the money paid.
My mum sells shoes on her own store! This was so cool to see how you do these types of things because I was always curious to find out how people do this! I could never find out because my mum was always packaging them and bringing them to the post office at school
Hello! I love these, this is such an amazing business and i love how you spend your time working hard for your customers! I’m starting a polymer clay business with my frienf and was wondering if you have any tips? (Were only kids)
Some post office staff are absolutely lovely enough to let non-documents be posted as letters when under 2cm but some can be real serious... I've been told off a couple of times for sending non-documents as a letter even if it is under 2cm. :( I wish Aus Post postage is cheaper! So difficult to sell online these days for talented hand crafters because postage can be so pricey. Thank you for this video though! How I would pack too and triple checking just to make sure I don't send the wrong items or to the wrong address! XD
While I never mad things to sell, I did sell a lot on ebay and Canada Post (while a rip off!), does have a website where you can register as a business and get discounts and do ship and click to Canada, USA and International. I actually found the online method MUCH less expensive than going into the post. All you need is a ruler and if you are shipping weighted items, a tiny scale so you can be fairly accurate with weight. This was a great video! Thanks for sharing :)
I learned that this requires human interactions. I'm socially awkward so...
Yeah, that's a thing.
CoolAwesomeEevee same
CoolAwesomeEevee 😂 lol
AcєLуииє are you being sarcastic?
No??
I wasn't referring to the social awkwardness.

Wow 😳 I thought I wanted an online store but this totally changed my mind.
Tysm now I’m probably going to start a slime shop when I get out of school tysm!!
I'm trying to start an online shop, so this is very helpful information!

Legend says that if you're early-ish Creative Rachy will either reply or pin your comment.
I wish you many sales! You are doing great! :)
This video was sooooo helpful!

Love ur charms !
How do you price ppl from different locations on your website with postage included? Or is it just a set price?
Yo quiero uno !!!!
On the Australia Post customs form it should be "merchandise" ticked, not "gift" when doing business.
thank you
I'm doing a Website for clay charms too

How much do the materials cost for you and what do you think are good prices for clay charms
So informative!
Someone plz answer. What do you do if someone Dm you on Instagram to do a review of your slime, how do I send it do them, or ask what's your PO Box or something like that
We have usps, Office Depot and fedex. There ok.
What size are your bubble mailers
What is the tape she used called?
THATCHER JOEE
is that the armidale post office? I used to live there !
This takes so much effort... I really want to start my own store, but I don't want to buy a lot of packaging supplies because I don't know if anybody would buy my stuff. What do you advise?
@Kristina KK:

Cute little things I have a video on how to make your own eyepins, all you need is some wire and a pair of pliers to bend it :)
That's really interesting! I only had 5 orders on my Etsy shop and I need to learn more about the packaging! 😂
Pink Banana Crea I think I need to learn a lot as well
Pink Banana Crea me too!
What do y'all sell?
I didnt know people had to ship themselfs on etsy

Happy success! Your charms are adorable
This video is such a blessing to me. I have wanted to start selling my creations for so long. I have never believed in myself enough to actually do it. plus, I didn't know how to start. I have ZERO support. Thank you so very much. I just subscribed to you channel! : )

One of my dreams is to have my own company.
Well I wish you all the luck for it then❤
How’s it going now?
Hi Rachel, How many items do you generally keep in stock ready to go when your store is up and running properly? Thanks Good Job.
What if you're a minor? My mom was wondering because she encourages me to sell my stuff online but idk. I'm 13 btw :)❤️
miffyLOVE just get someone who’s not a minor to send them off but apart from that you can do it alone if you want :)
Siesie thank you :)!
Try using depop, I started selling on there when I was 12! And I made like £100-£200 once I got good!
Also you don’t need an adult to post your items but I recommend you get your mum to help you to start
Can you tell your mom to support me too? My mom just doesn’t believe it’ll ever work...😅
So helpful! I'm disabled and am researching starting a home business.. These are all great ideas and your stuff looks really cute!
I literally filmed a similiar video today how funny haha!
This video is going to be so helpful for people! The width is the same here in the UK I send all mine as large letters too :D
xoxRufus omg that's so funny! 😂 at least everyone will be very well informed when yours goes up too!
Creative Rachy I talk more about branding and supplies rather than posting but maybe I'll do another video on that 🤔😂
whats the video called?
Still thinking about opening a charm shop or needle felt shop...... 😭😭
TeddyTheTurtle Angela you should
Angel Trinidad both?

This was seriously the most helpful video ever! This is the hardest part I think about owning an online shop and your tips and tricks are super helpful! Thanks for this great vid! ❤

ToniEllison OMG I LOVE YOU SFM♡ PLZ RESPOND AND MY FAV VID IS THE SMORE HAND SOAP ONE
could you please make a video on how you set up your online store! and why you chose storenvy over etsy
A lot of people choose Storenvy because the site is also free as a seller, whereas you have to pay Etsy a bit of money
Bonni I want that as well
True i look it up etzy and yes u have to give some commition from your sells.
im from philippines, and i want to buy your pretty charms, would i actually make it? i really want your charms
You watch theatcher joe, me too!
They sure did get snappy on me the first time I sold my charms 😅😂
Crafty Lena ooo lena brate... nzm zasto ali sam pomislila na tebe dok sam gledala video😂

Here in the UK, Royal Mail have a Drop and Go service - you have a prepay card which you leave at your local post office, drop your packages off and then later on they weigh everything up and charge the card :)
