I was so worried that I had to buy each product it's own box when sending them to the warehouse lool, your vid cleared that up for me. Thank you
@@koketjokgomo I literally did that the first time for our products 🤣 until I read the rules again because I was so annoyed.
Loved your professional explanation it was clear easy peasy/done 👍
Ending the best ha ha
this is the best explanation thank you
@@NengWeiShi huge pleasure. Glad it helped!

Love the espresso station! My dream!
@@lukaswinterr ay! Thanks for noticing, haha. It makes admin days so much better.

Perfect thank you so much for your advice
Big pleasure.
Love this. Thank you so much. It's so helpful.
Big pleasure!
Hi Romero, could you let me know how you get product photos with the white background required by Takealot. Appreciate the helpful videos.
@@g09w5843 quickest is to just use Canva’s background remover. Otherwise there’s some free sites online 🙌🏾
Hi Romero. Thanks so much for the videos. They are so helpful. Was hoping you could clarify a few things. 1) the plastic adhesive sleeves to put the shipping note into, did you buy these on Takealot? You mentioned they were free. 2) On Takealot there is brown kraft roll. Can you not use this for filling boxes with "brown paper"? Thanks!!
@@TigerMonster-b5s hi. Thanks so much for the support! 1) no, I got them directly from The Courier Guy😊. 2) yes you could, I see they have a nice 500mm wide option x 100m long!
Excellent video! Very informative,thank you
Thanks for the support!
Plz a video what do I need to start selling on takealot
@@khaboninaviolet5200 you read my mind. It’s literally my next video I’m doing, haha 😂
your a pro🙏🙏🙏🙏
😊😊Thank you very much this really helpful "Make more content about takeAlot stuff 🙏🙌🙌
Definitely the plan. Want to help make things a bit simpler. 💪🏾
Another awesome presentation. You mentioned Drop-test, what if you sell something fragile, how is that dealt with ... Thank again ... Totally new to this
Thank you. It would be dealt with The same. Some people don’t recommend you sell fragile items on takealot (because of breakages and returns for ‘damaged goods’). I personally don’t tell similar items but I would make sure they’re well packaged as you package will go through many hands before arriving at your customer.
Remember though: The individual items don’t need to be able to survive a 1m drop test. Just the boxes containing your stock being sent have to be.
You very good in explaining.my first shipment was shipped successfully ❤
Well done! Such a good feeling right? Hope everything sells really quickly.
@@Romero_Meyer Thanks it feels really good hey.yes I started making my second sale
Hope so
It is a good feeling I started making my second sale .😊
brooks here is a plug for the brow paper I done some homework The place is called Paper packaging Place here is the link ( 50cm x 100 meters) Roll Brown Kraft roll R650 incl vat Hope this helps I checked other placed this seems to be the cheapest for the amount if you buy in bulk
Thank you!
Thanks for the clarity on this. Just finished onboarding, and it's all very overwhelming. Your videos helped a lot. Quick question. About putting your items into boxes. Does this apply to all items. What about bigger items that don't come in a box or can't fit in a box. Or items that are shaped weirdly.
Items need to be able to ship to Takealot safely enough without being damaged. I don’t want to give you wrong information so I would log into your sellers portal, and floating on the right side of your screen will be the help tab.
Use the search icon and just type key words like “packaging” in this case, as go through the articles there.
It has saved me a few times on specific issues. As takealot does have specific rules for various items (food, glass, etc all have stricter rules).
I only sell smaller items so I hope this helps but just don’t want to give false info. 👏🏾
@@Romero_Meyer thanks bud. Definitely helps
Hi. Thank you for your awesome videos. Can you maybe give info on the new takealot more subcription? Does this mean we as sellers use only takealot courier and not courier guy anymore
Takealot themselves use Courier Guy for their courier services (mostly as far as I know) so I don’t think it changes much for us in terms of sending stock. 😊
Plz do a video of how to register on Takealot plz🙏
Great video series! Watched your previous one too, and they have helped me so much in understanding the process.
Just a question.
When you send the shipment with The Courier Guy, do you still add the Courier Guy's barcoded label (Tracking stickers) to the box as you would with any order? Or does this throw it out for takealot?
Also, how did you order the CPT & JHB DC stickers from them? Can't seem to find them on the stationery order list.
So glad it’s been a help!
1. Yes, you always need to place the waybill (either regular A4 or their Waybill Sticker you can print) for TCG to track the package and make sure it’s gets to where it needs to.
2. You can just ask the driver for them, maybe take a screenshot of them as reference. They usually have extra roles in the bakkies.
Also, I always recommend being super friendly to the Courier Staff. They tend to remember you more and have come in to save the day a few times on last minute pickups.
@Romero_Meyer_ZA you have no idea how much of a help it has been! We are in the process of setting up and starting to sell through takealot, so need all of the help we can get. But videos like these definitely make it less daunting to take the first steps!
Fantastic, thank you for all of the feedback!
The barcode sticker I am referring to is the one the courier guy provides on the roll. So for a normal shipment to a customer that had 2 boxes, one would have the waybill, and the other box would have the barcode sticker on it with the waybill number written on it.
But I get what you are saying, you would still need these stickers anyway on the box, otherwise the courier could misplace the parcel. Just wanted to make sure takealot wouldn't have a problem with another barcode sticker on it?
And absolutely agree with being really friendly with the courier guys staff! Hands down the best service from them. Will definitely ask the driver next time for some of those DC stickers.
@@DamianvanVuuren-tt6uw oh, got you. I actually never use those. In fact I don’t even have any, haha. Even when I send orders to customers directly or samples. But I know what you’re talking about because when they pick it up I see them put on those tracking stickers before loading :)
Hi man, what if im selling products from china and these are packaged in a plastic with the china supploer barcode? Do i need to put my new takealot barcode on that?
@@Authentic_Alf yes. It needs to cover any existing barcode. 😊
You are really Good in presenting and its so easy to understand you.thank you
I followed your video instructions and sent my first shipment to JHB and CPT using courier Guy. However the stock at takelot under my offers on the seller portal for JHB is less than what I sent. Do you perhaps know how and who I can query this with?
Eish. That’s weird! If you’re still new (3months or less) you should have had someone reach out to you to help with on-boarding then You’d be able to email them and query. Just try be sure that you’re 100% you did pack the amount you think.
Otherwise if you live in Cpt, it could just be that what you sent hasn’t reflected in the stock yet? But then you would see x amount of stock under the “stock on its way” column.
@@Romero_Meyer I live in Cape Town, Stock on the way shows the total stock I sent but the stock in JHB shows only half of the stock I sent to JHB . I will email the person who assisted me with onboarding, perhaps she can help. Thank for your reply.
Question I have is that, what is the minimum number of products you can send to Takealot?
1 would be the minimum. Technically you don’t have to send any if you only sell on Leadtime. In general though, the more you can send the better, as then the shipping price is divided over more items. Also, for all new items you’re only allowed to send 5 to each DC 😊
@@Romero_Meyer Okay Thank you so much that really clarified the most and thanks again for the video!🙏
Hi there, I'm a new seller and haven't started shipping yet...I need to know how do I package a product that has a box like an A5 size do I place it into another box or plastic and then place the label on?
@@shevontrisha3074 if the box is sealed well. You can just place the product label directly onto it (converting any barcode). Then you put as many of them as you’re sending all into 1 box (or more) to send to the DC with a shipping label on each.
Hi, how do you do product research?
Great question. It will be in the next 1 or 2 videos!
Can i kindly ask, What's a waybill?
@@tsheposeboko6673 hey. Whenever you send something via a courier, you need a waybill number, which essentially is an ID # for your package for tracking, etc etc.
Is it possible to use 1 courier to send your package 📦 to CPT & JHB?
@@alexjayroyce 100%. Your get both orders ready and then they collect them and ship to DC.
@@alexjayroyce I touch on it a bit here in this video: th-cam.com/video/7X1bBDZv9kA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-FN8FANMIz0Gldw-
Hi, is it possible to sell customizable products on Takealot?😢
Yes you can sell anything as long as it's lega
I saw you put two different products in one box. I got a question if I have five tiny different products(different bar codes) can I ship them in one box if they fit?
100%. I shipped 7 different products in this video (I just didn’t show them all). As long as they’re all on the Shipping not under the same shipment. 👏🏾
@@Romero_Meyer nice
@@Romero_Meyer another question. Where do I buy that self-adhesive pouch for the shipping note. What are other options for sticking the note to the box if I don't have that pouch?
@@Shelfless I got a bunch for free from the Courier Guy when I signed up. But I see they’re sold on their website under Waybill ‘Windows’ if I’m not mistaken. 😊
@@Romero_Meyer thank you
