You will need a shipping scale for printing shipping from home - amzn.to/2QPCyXh Under $20 👌
How do you do multiple labels & pay once all labels are done filled out.
Hi, reach out to pirate ship chat and they will be happy to get it all situated for you.
I bought one (the shipping scale / Amazon link) a few years ago. Just this year I noticed the 'Hold' button. 😛 Saves time!
@@parisattic what is the hold button for?!
@@ivault3 When a package is so large that you cannot read the display. If you can't read the display, you press the hold button. You then take your package off of the scale, and read the display's weight.
On a scale that doesn't have the hold function, you would then need to weigh each individual item, then add up the amounts weight, to determine the shipping weight.. including the shipping box and dunnage.
I went from paying around $12-15 per shipment to $3 a shipment plus I can do it from home! Had to buy a printer but totally worth it 👌
does it have to be a label printer or does a regular paper printer work ?
@@Dreadzynormal printer will work. Just have to tape it on the box instead of it being a sticker you slap on
Wait how did you do this? Because my shipping label cost is like $6-$8 and I don’t wanna pay so much out of pocket, do I really need a specific printer to get a cheaper price?
@@cheyenna666 pirate ship
I read online you can print from library if you don’t have a printer. and tape it on.
Thank you so much for taking the time and going through the whole process, I am new to this and it was so helpful!!
You are very welcome ☺️
AWESOME Content man. Helped me understand Pirate Ship a lot
Been using Pirate Ship for over two years now and it’s great. I recommend it highly!
The box in a bag thing is pretty awesome I haven’t tried that yet but I have used them for regular large boxes and saved hundreds! Thanks for the video man lots of good info!
^Watched on 40x speed 🤣
thecollegepicker hey man when I see a empty comment section I gotta be first 😂 😘

thanks so much!! all your videos are fantastic!!
This is an amazing tutorial bro! Thank you!
You are welcome. Happy to help 😊
You had me sold halfway through the video with the Simple Export tip! Thank you! You just saved me $10 on a package I'm about to ship and probably 100s a year compared to USPS. Kicking myself for not doing this sooner. lol
Great video brother. Very informational and great resource!
Appreciate it 🙏
Another small tip regarding the End of Day scan form. For those that may not be aware, you can print this form on a 4x6 and the barcode will still scan as it would a full sheet. Even though my carrier does not use the scan form (they are rural carriers and get more credit for individually scanning) my in the office USPS folks love it.
Appreciate the tips! Yeah no need to print on a full sheet. 4x6 does it all!
This was very informative thank you!
THIS WAS A LIFE SAVER!!!
Yes, this is very much needed vlog. It sure went by me quickly but I hopefully was able put it in my system.
I just listed my first item on eBay after 50+ years. I know it’s easier with repeated exposures.
Again, tnx for the lesson 😺.
You are very welcome, let me know if you have any questions about it =) Thanks for checking out the video
Fantastic video! Thanks for the walkthrough!!!
👍😎👍
You are welcome 😊
I love PirateShip it saves my business so much money on shipping!
It's a good service 😊
Can I ask you a question, so in the video I don’t know if you watched the whole thing but it was $9 to get to him and if I do that I will be losing money because my shipping is $5.99 but if I personally print it , from there will usps know it’s from there and charge cheaper shipping?
It depends what you are shipping and how much your package weighs to find out the cost. It may be cheaper or it may be more expensive depending. If you lose a little money then you will learn for next time.
@@lifeofrk2099May I ask what shipping do you have that is $5.99?
Thanks brother! Very educational and easy to learn video.
You are welcome dude 👍🙏 thanks for checking it out

Omg! I thought I knew all the hacks, but you have saved my life! I was always wondering how people got the scan form. This will be such a help with shipping times. Thank you!
You are welcome 😊. Glad to help.
how do you print two separate end of day scans that have shipments going to 2 different post offices?
Thank you Eric !! You are a Stallion !
You are welcome🐎
I sold a 3lb item and it was going to cost me $23 with eBay and over on PirateShip it cost me $8. 🤯
That's an amazing savings 🤣👍👍 thanks for watching
How do you guys do it? I literally try to ship an item that’s 1 pound on pirate ship and it’s asking $8.42, mercari is $4.99 for 1 pound...
Carlos Cano they’re factors into play and can depend on the size of the box and it’s location! Remember it’s cubic shipping! For a 1lb item I wouldn’t use cubic shipping, I’ll use a flat rate envelope or padded flat rate; if it fits. In your case I’ll use Mercari bc at $4.99 for a pound its a great deal, that’s a first class rate 👌🏽I don’t sell on Mercari but I’m sure that’s a special price for them. My item was so compact and small is why I’m guessing I got the rate I got!
That's so awesome! I've been using them for the past two months and they are amazing!
@@TheDwilliams1000 does it send a tracking number to your customer
THANK YOU!!! I learned so much, mind blown
You're so welcome!
Very Thorough. Thanks.
You are welcome
Yes Brothaman!
What an amazing pirateship tutorial.
This is archive material right here.
Appreciate it dude! To the archive hahaha =)
So well explained. Thank you so much!
You are welcome
Omg I'm so happy to find out about this site
Its a good service =)
That was an awesome video Eric I’m going to get this done and I just sold a cast iron skillet and I’m going to see what the difference in price is because it fits in a padded USPS envelope so will check it out
Thanks for watching. Padded flat rate won't be any cheaper on pirateship, I actually think it's about 2% cheaper on eBay. Not exactly sure why. This is one of the outliers 🤣🙏
Excellent!!! Much appreciated!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching =)
Thank You!
thank you so much for the full video

dude this was amazing video and i saved 17 bucks on shipment ...so thank you again!!!
Glad I could help! Was thinking about doing an updated version of this video but I guess it still works in 2024
Excellent information. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Eric your a wealth of information thank you
You are welcome ☺️
Love this Thank you! I use Paypal credit card and get cash back deal. So much I didn't know could be done. You are awesome! Will be watching again. So much great information.
Thats the way to do it! =) Thanks for checking out the video
This tutorial is sorely needed! Thank you! The first week I used Pirate Ship I sent two orders to the same buyer 😑 You live and learn.
Thanks for checking it out! How did you get those mixed up? Checking too many boxes and buying the shipping? It's not streamlined for large volume sellers with the integration from my experience ☹️
thecollegepicker , to be honest I just didn’t look at the labels after I printed them. I thought that all I had to do was print all and the labels would come up with each buyers information and it didn’t. So by me not checking twice, I got myself in a pickle. I’m not a height volume seller either. I wouldn’t trust trying to spool all your sales in one group. That’s the only fall back I can see. Pirate ship is my go to shipping site. I don’t even bother with USPS or eBay labels anymore. I do use my Paypal business debit card as my payment form and I get 1% cash back on shipping 😉
5:05 Dude that Walmart is a block from my house 🤯😂 That had me tripping for a second there seeing that address
Lmaoooo
I thought you always had to download, boy that will save me a minute!
Nah just on website, thanks for watching =)
Been using them for almost 3 years and have saved thousands.
I saved a trillions dollars 💵
Fantastic customer service, very user friendly, truly does save you money, highly recommended
100%
Thank you, very helpful!
You are welcome 😊
Pirate ship has been a life saver for the past 6 months, on ebay something goes for $33 pirate ship only $10.95 🤯🤯
Wow thats an amazing savings! I only usually have packages that are a few bucks but dang, thats awesome!
@@thecollegepicker used pirate ship 2mo ago for an USA to AUS sale - 5lb item priority was $187 and it shipped on pirate for $89 pretty decent :P
I’m still kind of confused on how to work pirate ship, how does the prices get cheaper and how do they know you used pirate ship to lower the prices
Thank u! I didn’t know what that “end of the day” option meant
I appreciate your video, very helpful.
Thanks! Appreciate you checking it out 🙏
Very informative, thanks
You are welcome
thanks bro❤️❤️❤️
I was your 1,000th LIKE!!!
I appreciate it 🙏🙏
Very helpful
You are the man. Thank you sir
You are welcome
Eric that was a great demo video I have not done pirate ship yet but now it seems as though I’m going to jump on the bandwagon and I might try today because I just sold a cast iron skillet that fits into a padded flat rate so let’s see what the difference in is that
Glad you enjoyed! =) Padded flat rate for whatever reason is 2% cheaper on ebay. Pirate ship is good for small heavy things that do not fit in padded flat rate. Cubic rate =)
I just started mailing decals, which are really light weight and simple, but shipping is still $4 for first class and $8 for priority. I tried looking into this, and ITS MORE EXPENSIVE than the post office. I came up as almost $6 for first class. WTH?
If they are decals you should be able to use forever stamps and save a lot of money.
send it out just like a letter. put it in the envelope and use a forever stamp
Geez! College?
@@thecollegepicker But No Tracking number, right?
It wouldn't have tracking with a stamp no.
I love ❤️ your videos
Great video :)
Appreciate it 🙏
Thank you!
You are welcome ☺️
Cool video bro.
Thanks

Omg! Your video is awesome! Just print my first label. Stamps is so expensive! Thank you so much! You earn a new member! 🙌🏾
dude youre so helpful, thank u x500
You are welcome 😊
Good info for sure. Did you talk with them about putting a box into a polybag for a cheaper rate? I didn't think that was okay to do? I look forward to binge-watching more of your videos.
Box in a polybag is the same as polybag rate. Appreciate the support =)
Thanks!
You are welcome
Thanks CP! You always break things down for any level of seller and that is greatly appreciated!
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🙏
thank you for your great job!!!!!!! :)
Happy to help, you are very welcome ☺️

Yw
Thank you bro
You are welcome bro.
I had no idea about the simple export rates. I wish I would have known that. I would probably have saved a ton of money on a package I just shipped to Canada. Thank for the info.
You are welcome, yeah it was new to me too!

This video was amazing!!! Thank you Eric. New Subby here!!
Not sure if you answered this or not. Does pirate ship email your custom a tracking update of their package?? You didn't cover that in the video
Hi, I appreciate it =) I haven't used that email tracking feature yet but if you test it out please let me know =)
Excellent vid! Now, if they would also service UPS, it would be an even better service.
This video is insightful because I've been curious about Pirate Ship! I just need some clarification: Soooo does this mean if I would like to send out mail NOT affiliated with a small business or service, I can still purchase my labels through Pirate Ship as long as I have a label machine like Rollo?? I'm asking because I just want to skip the lines at the post office to get a label and just provide the weight and measurements myself and print at home
Before the USPS went to the DIM rate last June, Pirateship was the bomb for me! After that Pirateship is rarely cheaper. I believe it is because they implemented ZONES and since I live in the middle of the country my pricing is different than someone more towards a coastal area. Example, before the DIM rate went into effect, you and I were charged the same rate for a 3lb. box to California. Now with the DIM weight - ZONES, your cost is higher than mine for the same box because you are further so Pirateship helps you out. I shipped some shoes to California yesterday, 3lb and 9 oz. Pirateship was a $1.04 more:) Every once in a while though I get to pull off the box in and tricks and save some money:)
Pirate ship slacking!
@@thecollegepicker PS was actually cheaper the other day:)
thanks for this! how would the process be different for a kid who wants to ship their belongings to their university dorm?
Any suggestions on how to get the 3 customs forms to print larger when shipping with UPS internationally? The actual UPS label always seems to print the normal size (3.5" x 5.5"), but the customs forms print so tiny (3.25" x 4.0") that they are unreadable. I have tried to change settings within Pirate Ship as well as my printer and I cannot figure it out.
I have spent so much money on shipping 😞 thank you for this
You are welcome.
What type of shipping labels do you use? I’d like to be able to just print them and stick them on the packages? Also what kind of bags (for shipping items in) are you using?
Thanks for the video. Is this for everyone or for those with a business?
Anybody can use their service.
I have also noticed Priority packages shipped through PirateShip say they come w/ $100 insurance whereas normally Priority through USPS onlys come w/ $50 insurance standard. Do you know if this is an extra benefit offered through PirateShip? Or is this a typo in the rates?
I was the 1k like!!! Pog
🙏🙏🙏
I know it comes with a customs declaration form already with the label but can I just ship it like that or I need to add a separate declaration form with the label in order to ship the item? Sorry if it sounds confusing im located in Guam and we need to add a customs declaration form to our packages
Quick question: Do you calculate the shipping before listing it on ebay?
Thanks for such a great video btw!
I don't no. Thanks!
I love Pirate Ship I could not figure out how to combine shipments to same buyer , but I also had an issue with it on eBay 😂
Hopefully you got it figured out =)
I use ebay and can ship through paypal or ebay and they have both have bulk shipping that allows u to print all labels at the same time. for first class you dont even have to measure. u only add weight now. bad thing is you have to realy work your way up for the juicy usps discounts.
I use the cubic 90% of the time is it is the Game Changer. as long as dimensions are 17" inches or under in any one
