Good to know! I am currently sorting out some Shopify shipping stuff, so once I have a streamline process, I’ll make a video to share! Thanks for your interest 🤗
Totally impressed with the nice little personal touches that you add to your packaging whether you're shipping prints or original works of art. You obviously put a lot of thought and care into what you send, and I'm sure that it's really appreciated by your clients.😊
I thought that only in Mexico post offices were rude with packages! Your protocol for packaging your work is interesting, plus the added value of the details like the thank you note and your sticker with your logo, you make it become an experience to receive and open your prints. As we say here "experiment on someone else's head", it is very humble of you to share all that and it is appreciated, I only make one or two shipments a year hahaha but I think that now I can do better. May your success continue!
Wow it's so interesting to learn that signing in pencil is better/standard and so cool to see the paper you print on, etc etc. I just found you today and subscribed 💖
I work in the manufacture of label adhesives, and want to mention that those adhesives can migrate and flow through thin materials, especially if exposed to higher temps and humidty. You might want to reconsider putting that label on top of your art, even with a piece of tissue paper in between.
Moltes gràcies Brooke, ara feia dies que no et visitava, com mola aquesta mini impresora d'adhesius!!! m'ha molat un pilot!! continua així, you are simply amazing, and yes, I've learnt a lot, in fact in every single video you make aprenc coses noves I fantàstiques! moltes gràcies. Ho fas molt bé! Moltes gràcies! You're great , thank U💗💙💚🐋
OMG I find your spirit so funny 🤣 your jokes are hilarious (I know not everyone understand it). Your endings crack's me up. I love your art obviously I just wish I could afford it and not live in the other side of the would 😢.
Shipping lessons are a continue learning experience. Speaking from experience it is shocking how easy it is to oil stain or dirty a print with what we think are clean hands. The gloves are key all the time with the prints
Most shipping processes are automated and even at the stages that aren't there just isn't the time to be gentle which is why really good packaging is so important. You CAN get gentle shipping though, it's just VERY expensive because it's through personal courier services.
Thank you for this informative video on shipping! If you do a more detailed video (I'd watch it!) can you also share if your U.S. customers pay for import duties and how you inform them about these fees? Thank you, new sub today 🙂
I think if the print material agrees, you should use pencil! Sometimes the type of paper or canvas won’t work well with pencil so you can use a fine-tip permanent marker or something like that!
I have a small question, when you make an edition with 10 prints, do you repeat those prints but with new numbering? In other words, do you make a second, third... edition?
Hi Mariana! So each painting is made into a 10 print limited edition, meaning that I can only print 10 copies. If I wanted to make a whole new edition (more copies of the painting) in the future, they would have to somehow be different, like a bigger or smaller size, for example. Hope that helps!
Hi Brooke, thanks so much for this video. If you had multiple prints in the order, how would you package them - each in their own shipping tube or combined in one tube? Also, I'm not sure if you ship size A4 but if so would you ship in a tube or flat? Thanks :)
For multiple prints I stack them on top of each other with a piece of acid free tissue paper between and roll them all together 😊 you might be better securing this role with rubber bands instead of tape to make sure it holds! And I don’t sell A4 size prints but I have heard of artists shipping that size in flat cardboard sleeves - just make sure they’re sturdy enough and hopefully don’t bend at the corners!
@@b.cormier I don't know what Canada's mail would charge for them but you could also try triangular shipping tubes. They are stronger than rectangular boxes and stack better so avoid surcharges in some systems.
@@Sea0fTime I looked into this and you're right, you can avoid the surcharges with triangular tubes - the issue is that where I buy my boxes (Uline) the minimum purchase is a package of 50, which is too much at the moment. But I will certainly consider it in the future!
Thank you so much for this video. I just developed my first prints and about to open my website. Would you reccomend Shopofy over Square Space? Also, can youbplease share the link to the boxes you used?
Thanks for watching! And congrats on your prints and website! I've never used Square Space before, so I'm not sure if its better, but I can say that overall I'm a pretty satisfied Shopify customer! Here's the link to the boxes I used: www.uline.ca/Product/Detail/S-3623K/White-Mailing-Tubes/Square-Tubes-3-x-3-x-18-Kraft Though, as you saw in the video, I did have a some issues with these. Uline customer service recommended these ones ( www.uline.com/Product/ProductDetail?modelnumber=S-981 ) which look good, I just didn't need 100 of them haha. Hope that helps!
I went through the exact same issue with the boxes at first 😑 I figured out to put the print around the tube and THEN into a box. PITA but 🤷🏼♀️ the post office is diabolical lol.
I get them from Uline.ca! They have a huge variety - you can find anything that fits your needs, the only thing is that you have to buy in bulk (usually the minimum order is at least 25 pieces) and I find their prices for shipping pretty pricey… but they’re good products and if you have the space to store them, even better!
I have a question, do you number each batch of prints separately? say you make 30 at a time, but they aren’t necessarily limited edition. Do you still number each batch as 1/30, etc?
I have not! Just because the pieces I’m shipping are too big for that. But I have seen other artists use them, so I think it could be a good option depending on the specs of your commissions!
Yes I have done that before if a customer is in the area, though it’s not an option on my website - if you’d like pickup/delivery it’s best to reach out via my website contact page 😊 www.brookecormier.com/pages/contact
@@b.cormier thank you for replying!! I’d actually have to purchase with shipping because I’m in Honduras hahaha. I recently started my career as a part time artist so I’m looking for ideas on how to pack my prints and originals mostly for pickup and local delivery.
Hmmm, still waiting for my print. Yes, I got an email stating it was on the way...but dumba$$ me, I deleted it. So, I have no idea where my order is. This is not a complaint about Brooke...as you can see, she pays extreme attention to what she does. Fingers crossed it finally arrives.
I'm really sorry to hear your print hasn't arrived yet! If you could email studio@brookecormier.com with your order number, I can look into the status of the package and forward you your tracking number again!
The problem with boxes is that they get stacked and stacked on top of. Mailing tubes don’t get stacked on, so on top of the slightly superior rigidity of a cylinder, nothing gets put on top of them.
I ALWAYS ... ALWAYS roll up my prints in a tube , and then put the tube in a box padded enough so the tube doesnt roll around ..... you end up paying more by weight, but the stupid extra charge for mailing in a round doesn't apply. Canada post are VULTURES
I usually place the shipping tube inside a box, so everything is safe and I don't have to pay extra! :D
That is smart!! I'm definitely keeping this tip in mind for the future, thank you!
Yes to the nitty-gritty video on orders fulfillment! I love all your videos, but behind-the-scenes ones are my favorite 😍
Thanks so much! 🙏 and ok, noted! I’m currently smoothing out some lumps in my fulfillment process, so once I’ve got that figured out, I’ll make a video!
saw the thumbnail and said to myself: "something ain't right.. that's not how I look when I package my work; I look miserable and all messy".
Hahah let’s just say the thumbnail is not an accurate representation 😂
In a still image, it’s difficult to tell the difference between happiness and manic stress.

Thanks for watching! 🤗
do you do your own filming and film editing Brooke? or is that hubby's department ;). excellent work all round (i mean the artwork too!)
You shall have a good insurance when you send a box, it can be a good deal. I hope one day I will be able to buy a print from you
Yes, luckily I did get the packages insured!
I wish shipping companies were much kinder to the boxes!

Haha thank you! It’s an effect called “pitch shifter” in premiere pro 😋
Excellent content
Thanks Susan! 😊
0:48 oh wow, i didn't know that.. Is it the same with signing other printed artworks? Go with a pencil?
I think if the print material agrees, you should use pencil! Sometimes the type of paper or canvas won’t work well with pencil so you can use a fine-tip permanent marker or something like that!
@@b.cormier ooh ok.. thank you for the info!
i think for extra protection you can put the tube with the prin in a box. plus avoid the tax
Seems like this is the common consensus amongst viewers, and I agree 🫡
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I learned a lot, thanks!!!
Could you tell us about the small business. Do you have a DBA or a LLC ?
Glad to hear it! Here in Canada, my business is registered as a sole proprietorship 😊
I have a small question, when you make an edition with 10 prints, do you repeat those prints but with new numbering? In other words, do you make a second, third... edition?

@@b.cormier Thank you Brooke, you've helped a lot! I love your work, your paintings, your videos...please keep being amazing 🥰😘
I wonder if those can be shipped on a flat box, or is it more expensive? And they don't t curl up too much if rolled?
Since these prints are 16” by 16”, they’re a little too big to ship flat! I think they’d be at risk of more damage that way 💁🏻♀️
@@b.cormier True!

Dont really get the idea of buying prints. I love hand made

Do you deliver fine art prints in person (no shipping, like if a neighbor bought one) in the same way? Or is it simpler?

hi btw
put the tubes inside de boxes so they dont charge ypu extra
