Pick and pack videos are my favourite! I like them just like this - I want to know what you sold, how much it sold for and how long the books have been for sale. Sprinkle in some additional information like "these sell really fast" and voila! You have my undivided attention 🙂
I'm a new subscriber. 78 yrs old from Indiana. Sorted books for library sales for 10 yrs so LOVE your channel and your respect for the books. Please use as many actions as possible to save your back and legs so that you can do this for a long time in the future. Every strain and twist is a negative in your metric.
I'm amazed at the prices you get for your books. As a example the swimming book, UK seller £7.49 including postage that costs around £3. You are most definitely in the right place and are doing a wonderful job over there. Thanks for the vids😃
I just watched your garage video… and now this one! My how you’ve grown!! I have been struggling with being organized in my business which has affected my mental health tremendously as I struggle to ship efficiently. This is encouraging me to get organized and stay organized ❤
I L💙ve the pick n pack Mel! I know it slows you down but you're helping me learn about books to pick up, I actually bought & listed my 1st book ☺️ its a large coffee table book 🤑 Appreciate You!
All OF THE ABOVE. It’s curious to watch what sells & how much. But also, explaining your process and why you do what you do is so helpful. Even if not a specific book seller. Great tips for any reseller. ❤
Another great video Mel. I love a pick and pack video. I enjoy seeing what books and authors sell in Australia and watching the whole process from the beginning to the end.😊
It really helps me. And also each time I pick orders, I can see it so it’s just another reminder constantly about what’s selling fast or slow. It’s made me a better seller. Otherwise you can only see the date you listed it in the active listings on the desktop version. It’s not an easy visual reminder when it’s not in the SKU. Sometimes it feels like we just listed something but then when you look it’s like 9mths ago. It’s a good reminder to be buying faster moving inventory that keeps churning over.
I do this! I don’t trust eBay to not lose items and therefore SKU locations so I started using it for the upload date to see how long it took to sell, and also add in when I do price drops. I sell clothing 😄
@@happycowgirl32 it help when I’m using the phone app as I can see the date it was listed in the SKU when I send and receive offers. I also pick the books using the phone app and SKU so I mentally take note of how long things have taken to sell which helps me when I’m sourcing as I remember more if something was a fast or slow seller.
Do love a pick and pack video, always interesting seeing what books you're pulling off the shelves! I've seen Cirque du Soleil in London a few times in the past, they're awesome! The shark bags still going strong! Thanks for the video Mel.
I'm really enjoying your return to this style of content. Because sourcing opportunities are so specific to where we live/shop I'm not as keen on anyone's sourcing videos. I'm happy to let them play so you (and other content creators) get the views but I don't tend to watch them as such. I do miss your live streams, I used to really love and participate in those. Edited to add: I enjoy seeing what has sold and for what price. Where people order multiple books, I really enjoy seeing the combination of authors and/or genres they purchase.
Thanks for the feedback! I have a live stream coming up. Interesting about the sourcing videos. You’re correct that sourcing is very different everywhere we live.
Agreed. I rarely, if ever, watch the sourcing videos. I would rather be out sourcing myself than watching others do it. But that could just be me. They tend to get a lot of views, so it may just be us. 😂
Oh my goodness!! I learned a lot today and I am so happy to be learning from you!! Thank you so much!!! I would love to see another short video on how you list with the Alphabet and the SKU and Reference. I ALSO LOVED HOW YOU SHOWED THE BOOK THAT SOLD AND THE AUTHOR. Learning with Mel 😊😊😊😊
Yes, I like the pick and pack videos, mainly because we learn what it selling for you. Especially things that sell quickly. Not everything translates to here in the US (such as Louis L'amour selling for so much) but still, it's very helpful. Thanks Mel!
I loved your constant tips of how to and why you do different things through out the process. I would love to hear approximate totals of what you sold or your expected profit. This was so fun. I don't sell books that often but watching you really shows how it is possible. Thanks again for creating!
Always interesting to see someone else picking and packing. When I do it for my Etsy shop I sometimes talk to myself (like I was on camera) to keep me on track and working fast. I enjoy seeing what sold. And your process. Thank you for doing it.
I like the pick and pack, because I like to see the proceses and your thoughts about the books and also about little improvements on the process. Helps me to improve my proceses.
Pick & Pack is Back! I like comparing the types of books and prices you are selling compared to here in the UK. Would love to have an updated Q&A video about how you have progressed since your separation- so please to see that cheeky smile back on your pretty face x
Mel! You have this system down! It's amazing to watch. Im not a reseller at all, and i came across your channel randomly a few konths ago, and im hooked. Your personality is contagious, too. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
@@AnnMarieG Oh yes, the TV series was based on the book series - so so so cute!! Loved the TV series as well - it was just as I imagined it - I love looking up Botswana on google LOL - I am just weird that way 😁Bought the DVDs 😁Well, the hubster bought the DVDs as a gift for me LOL
I love the Pick and Pack videos all the way here in Indiana! I like them just like this. When you talk sometimes there’s at least one “golden nugget” dropped that I use in my e-commerce business.
I love learning about price points bought sold profit ect....when you pick up a book it's fun to guess these!! I find its very similar to Canada. Also interesting to learn about different types of books in Australia.
I am a book lover. I enjoy seeing all the different books and what they sell for. My daughter is doing the Premiers reading challenge (Victoria) so your video reminded me to go and search your store for some books she might like to read. I love supporting small business!
Comment: 1. If you have feeling buyer may return things to you due to different language - you can email to buyer, (I suggest to also text message - you can do Google Text - this way you text customer from your computer, much easier, as you just copy and paste whatever you ebay message to text too) - tell them you concern buyer may miss the fact that the book is in Dutch, etc, and if no reply by certain time next day, you will ship anyway. 2. Whenever I list things, I usually try to insert the actual product into satchel - then record the size they go to in custom label in ebay listing - same place how you put in location of the item. Great savings if the book is heavier than the satchel size, I guess it should happen a lot for you. Unfortunately I see you ship - you didn't seem to utilize Auspost MPB satchels for your books, for example: 34:37 - those two bundle of books seems to fit 5kg satchel, and they may weighted more than 5kg, but you only pay to 5kg, but as you didn't set in MPB and not using their satchel, you pay more than 5kg. 36:15 the book in your hand may fit 500g satchel. 38:48 is 1kg satchel. 3. I just learnt those thing you use is Auspost padded mailer? 100x 500g ones is $106 now, isn't it cheaper to just buy their 100 small MPB satchels at $15 and use bubble wraps inside? a big roll of bubble wraps is around $30. And those padded mailer even it says small - doesn't count as same as their small satchel which can be used to have the weight of the book to be over the satchel size as long as they fit. Non AusPost padded mailer (some call it bubble envelope) similar size of 230x330mm cost about 60% less if you buy from the like of EBPak. 4. 47:57 those thing you thrown away can be good for padding in case you use mailing box.
The fancy platter book that you're talking about in America we call that a charcuterie board. They are really popular right now again in the US😊 love your Pick and Pack videos a great learning so much and in great appreciation of sharing your journey
I was going to suggest you put your phone on a lanyard so you don’t have to pick it up and put it down all the time. But then I realized the lanyard would have to be as long as your arm so you could still read your phone. 😂
@@backfromburnout I was thinking that a wristband phone holder might be helpful, like the ones they make for runners to hold their phone on their arm. They usually have a clear cover so you can still see and navigate the touchscreen. If you have it on your forearm, then you could pick and just hold your arm up (like if you were giving a high five to someone) to see the screen.
Great video Mel. I like to listen to pick and pack videos. When I am packing my orders. Makes me feel like I am not working on my own. I like to time myself against the video. You give some good tips on how to pack faster. I will have to think how I can improve my packing. I am still packing in my lounge on the coffee table. It's also great to hear what has sold.
Making this video probably 10x'd the amount of time it usually takes you to pick & pack & ready for ship! But it was a great watch! 😊Congrats on all the great sales. I love that you're going for larger sales numbers going forward. That'll just make things easier for you.
Yes it is expensive to send overseas and some of the books are very heavy so I do have higher international pricing just incase someone orders a very heavy book.
I enjoy watching your videos 📹! I like how you do the whole process from picking to packing the books... We print packing slips 2 copies as one is attached to the item sold because we ship from Canada 🇨🇦 to USA 🇺🇸, it's required... then we pick our items, my wife packs them and I process the packages and label them. Then every 2 days we ship our package, take them to our 3rd party shipper who brings them across the border and delivers to the usps warehouse us postal warehouse for delivery... We don’t use Canada post because it's too expensive! It costs 70% more to use. Only certain occasion we use Canada post... it's interesting how everyone has different ways of shipping out orders! Have a great week! Joe Bee 🐝 from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Canada!😅😊
Ever considered vacuum sealing or shrink wrapping the entire book or group of books? After taking pictures etc. I do not know if this would be better or worse protection against moisture and critters? It could be worse. But I don't really know and figured you have the experience in keeping them stored properly.
I think that would use a lot of plastic, the books stay clean on the shelves. It's just the bundles I need to stay together so I wrap those in the plastic wrap.
I So enjoy this type of video. You really have an efficient process for picking and shipping. I'm an anything seller, but I've picked up on a few "nuggets" that I will incorporate in my process. Thx
Niching down is a benefit to the faster packing etc. It’s easier to systemise when everything is the same. It takes longer when you sell different types of items that each require the different packaging. I’m glad you can still get some tips though and hopefully they help speed up your processes.
Loved this video Mel ❤❤❤❤ loved to see more pick and pack videos like this one also a short bit on the the process at the post office. By the way you are looking well and amazing. Stay well 😊😊
Thank you. When I go to the post office I just wave hello to the staff and drop my bags near their staff door and go. I’m on great terms with the post office. They hold all my empty ikea bags for me until their next day or two and then when they see me they just get any of my empty bags they have and pass them across to me and then as soon as they have time they scan my parcels in. So I don’t have to wait. I just drop and run.
New subscriber here! I just did a marathon of your videos. Pick and pack, and book fair are my favorite! I just got back from Melbourne and your channel reminds me a lot of things about life in Australia. Wish i knew your store when i was still there. I just wanted to say thank you and i'll make sure i buy something from you! Lots of love from Indonesia👋❤️
Its always interesting to hear where you buy your supplies from and love the way you think about your work area to save your back. Clean and organised way to go. 😊
I agree with what lots of others are saying about enjoying pick and packs! For me it gives insights into processes that you don’t get many chances normally to see. You explain why you do something a certain way to maximize efficiency so those tips are really helpful. The recent run of videos has been great - thank you 🙏
Pick and pack videos are my favourite! I like them just like this - I want to know what you sold, how much it sold for and how long the books have been for sale. Sprinkle in some additional information like "these sell really fast" and voila! You have my undivided attention 🙂

Agree with your advice. Put your loaded bags on a trolley and wheel them to wear you need them ie to the car etc.
Hi. I m from Indiana too !! Lafayette. 72 yr . 25 yr ebay seller
What part of Indiana are you from?
LOOOOOVEEE the amount, length, and quality of vids!!
Thank you!
Pick and pack is satisfying to watch and motivating to others as you are so organised. Thank you for sharing and look forward to more like it Mel xxx
Thank you!
I appreciate the feedback!
Look at that beautiful clean warehouse you've got!!
Feels so good to be clean!

I do get some good prices on the books. Australia doesn't have as many platforms to compete with.
Just wanted to say you have by far the best quality reselling content on TH-cam! When that vid hits my sub box its always an insta click!
Thank you. I appreciate you watching and the feedback x
Loving your more regular videos Mel!! For a book-lover-bibliophile this is a dream. Love looking at your books and you are so uplifting 📕📗📘📙📚🧡

So cute! Here in the US we call them 'Ship with Me' videos and people LOVE them!
Ship with me! That’s interesting to note for future video titles. Most of my audience is American. :)
@@backfromburnout Both are great - How about "Ship with Me as I Pick and Pack - Full-time Book Seller'

It’s quite a popular series and can sell for good money in the larger bundles.
I think your organisation is fantastic. So fast . I got a laugh too. Just all around great fun.
"Grazing" is perfect descriptor word. In US we would refer to it as a party tray, if primarily meats, cheeses and fruits a charcuterie board,

Clean warehouse and lots of sales, couldn’t be better.
Best!

I So enjoy this type of video. You really have an efficient process for picking and shipping. I'm an anything seller, but I've picked up on a few "nuggets" that I will incorporate in my process. Thx
Niching down is a benefit to the faster packing etc. It’s easier to systemise when everything is the same. It takes longer when you sell different types of items that each require the different packaging. I’m glad you can still get some tips though and hopefully they help speed up your processes.
Loved this video Mel ❤❤❤❤ loved to see more pick and pack videos like this one also a short bit on the the process at the post office. By the way you are looking well and amazing. Stay well 😊😊
Thank you.
When I go to the post office I just wave hello to the staff and drop my bags near their staff door and go. I’m on great terms with the post office. They hold all my empty ikea bags for me until their next day or two and then when they see me they just get any of my empty bags they have and pass them across to me and then as soon as they have time they scan my parcels in. So I don’t have to wait. I just drop and run.
My favorite videos that you make are the ones that you make hahaha I love all your videos girly girl! And I love you! Keep it up sweetie pie!
Thank you xxx
New subscriber here! I just did a marathon of your videos. Pick and pack, and book fair are my favorite! I just got back from Melbourne and your channel reminds me a lot of things about life in Australia. Wish i knew your store when i was still there. I just wanted to say thank you and i'll make sure i buy something from you!
Lots of love from Indonesia👋❤️
Thank you! I have new vlogs coming at the warehouse. Bookfairs don’t come around every week but I’ll try to film more as I do them :)
We have GRASING BOARDS OR TABLES here in America also. People have made it into a job for preparing them for all kinds of events.
Awesome! I live grazing boards, they’re delicious! I can’t stay away from them!

I agree with what lots of others are saying about enjoying pick and packs! For me it gives insights into processes that you don’t get many chances normally to see. You explain why you do something a certain way to maximize efficiency so those tips are really helpful. The recent run of videos has been great - thank you 🙏
Thank you!
