Thanks. I need to buy smaller boxes and will use poly mailers for hats more often. I do overpack if the rate doesn’t change much mostly because I hate cutting down boxes.
I have my first order of 36 hats all going to one place. How would you package? This order will be hand delivered but it will require each hat in something rather than leaving set on open table while people pickup their pre-order some during the day. Don't want visitors picking up an unpackaged hat and trying it on.
Thanks! Very helpful. Definitely no need to over pack things. Nobody enjoys unwrapping all that. Plus, it's less waste for the customer which ultimately means more money sellers make by efficiently using their packing materials~
I ship flat bill New Era hats in poly bags, 4 oz and rarely have issues. save on postage plus boxes outweigh what customers think receiving a hat in a bag. for boxes you will save move money buying on eBay than at U-Line or Staples.
I use 7x7x7 boxes but thts interesting. Calculated or flat rate? Maybe i missed it. We used to be able to get a shipping discount but for some reason, I’m not seeing it on them anymore.
Either way you do it you should view it as a total price. There’s trending prices on eBay so if an item is trending at $40 free shipping, why would anyone buy yours at $40 plus shipping so you’d want to list at $40 free ship or like $32 plus $8 shipping. I find it easier to just do free shipping and build it in.
Great tips as usual. I had a bad habit of "over" packing. Can you do a video on shipping DVDs (disc only)? I have a large amount of movies and it would destroy my sales if I bought cases to ship them out. Thanks bro!!
I am looking at getting a thermal printer, sp410, I ship lots of items that ship via ebay standard envelope, in a # 10 basic envelope. Question is, how do i print the labels...they are not the 4"x6" size?

I find it easier to just do free shipping. Just make sure you know what things will cost to ship so you don’t get burned on your projections if you do this. The eBay shipping calculator is a great way to learn these rates. For hats it’s easy to estimate since they cost between $3.50-5 to ship

I have been overpacking all this time. I didn’t even think about it. Until now!!

Iv'e been getting some pretty good discounts as a Senior & Navy Veteran at some supply stores & thrift stores.
What size polymailers are these?
Are these 6x9 or 7.5x10.5?
Thanks for the video, super useful. Surprised it doesn't have more views.
They look like 9x12, is that correct? I saw you had a ruler in your video when you pulled the polymailer out at 01:53.
10x13
what dimension of poly mailer?
13x10
Can i use this method on Amazon aswell?
Of course

I think for something like that you would need a case to protect it from cracking

Just print them on a 4x6 label then fold it around the envelope
Super helpful!! Thank you Adam!!

what size are the clear bags
Prob like 12x10, I'm not sure exactly as i didnt buy them and rarely use them
Can I use a 8x6x4
It’ll be a tight squeeze. That 4 is tough to get flat bills in
Where do you buy your hays?
I show where I buy everything in my what sold videos
Can you use 8x6x4 boxes for hats?
The 4 is too tight. It may fit unstructured hats but not flat bills

The Goat....Mp....
Thanks... Gracias!
I was also able to get away with sending hats in a 6x6x6 as long as long as you angle the hat the right way.
Yeah I can get most hats in a 6x6x6 box just not the flat bills, they need that extra 2 in
great, Thx for sharing
Thanks bro!
