Great video and idea. Would have like to see how you finished off the bottom and top with extra cardboard knowing the vertical height of the box wasn't enough to cover the top and bottom. Thanks!
Hey im a new seller and love the channel! So when you go to weigh something when listing it, is it just an estimate? And then when you go to weigh it its the exact measurements?
Also, ebay gives sellers shipping discounts when you go to print a label. It helps for any error you may have made during listing. Ebay sellers make money this with when buyers pay shipping cost. Good luck and have fun!
Thanks, I have 14 listings right now gunna have a lot more tomorrow, still have yet to make my first sale. Thanks for showing me this awesome trick, keep the vids coming 😀
In some cases if they are very heavy, then yes. Otherwise one large box is fine. It also depends which is the best price service. UPS, FEDEX, or USPS. Rarely have I needed to send two small boxes, but I have done it. The downside is if one was to get lost in transit. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
How do you ship an item like this for cheap? Rates for a 24x24x36 sized box for example. UPS wants $200-$400 for a 13 pound item. If i sell an item for $100 with free shipping, I would be -300. Is there alternatives? Greyhound bus?
That seems very high priced. I guess it determines where you mailing your item to. Also are you selling it on ebay or some other platform, or through your own website? If you sold it on ebay then tou can print a ups shipping table and get a huge seller discount. In another video I show where I mailed a 149lb wheelchair lift in a box that was around 20x20x38 from Texas to California for $75. Ups ships by cubic volume and weight. Let me know a little more about how you sold your it....ebay, poshmark, mercari, Facebook or how. Let me know more an then I could answer your question much better. 👍
@@RKTreasureCenter Thanks for your reply! Quick too. I am in New Jersey and I have an order on ebay going out to in to Indiana. If i enter the dimensions you listed I get Fedex at $106 and UPS at $123. If i do the ones I listed I get UPS at $172. So i guess my question is, To ship items this large do they have to be worth several hundred dollars? I wanted to ship a kids Bigwheel that is the dimensions I gave, It would've sold for about $80-$100 but then it's $172 as the minimum cost for shipping. Id be paying them money lol.
Hi there! I'm a online seller and I have a heavy bulky countertop dishwasher that I need to sell and ship. I have people interested but the shipping cost for this is $130 or more! It weighs 43 lbs. and is 17 x 22x18 . I have big boxes and I have never shipped something this heavy or big yet. I know how to package this but I can not figure out how to get the shipping cheaper for this to sell. I'm having a huge issue and this video and your others I watched are SUPER helpful.! Do you have any tips or secrets that might help me?
The best suggestion I have is try UPS for cost. The is a site called Pirate ship. It's a web site that you can buy shipping labels from and their prices are good. Type it in and look on youtube. There are several videos about it and how to get labels at a better rate.
@@RKTreasureCenter so when you are selling a item on eBay do you click which shipping your gonna provide when making the post ? For ex. Ups ground or flat rate freight etc.
@@Walmart2theEXTREME yes I do, but after ot sells you can always change the shipping option. Almost all items I sell is under USPS priorty or the new USPS ground advantage. But when the item sell I may find UPS or FedEx to be a cheaper shipping solution. So when I make the label I will change it at that time. I've never had a buyer question it. They are just happy to get it and on time. 👍
I have a question about eBay so I accidentally never verified my email and phone number when I signed up for eBay now since I decided to cancel my account I can’t verify my email and phone number but I never bought or sold anything on my account so you think I should be fine
I have been coming back to this video every time I sell something larger than usual, thanks again!
Great to hear! 😁👍
Didn't realize you were such a good heavyweight boxer. Good job champ!

I'm glad you watched. Lots of luck to you.😁👍
Great video and idea. Would have like to see how you finished off the bottom and top with extra cardboard knowing the vertical height of the box wasn't enough to cover the top and bottom. Thanks!
No extra cardboard was needed. The top and bottom flaps was cut like the example I showed and covered it just fine. Thanks for watching. 😁👍
great tips. btw when you score the box its easier to use the reverse side of the knife since its less sharp
Great Tip 👍
Great tip! The shipping nerd in me really enjoyed this video...

Will it be cheaper to send 2 smaller boxes over 1 larger box ? or vica versa ?
In some cases if they are very heavy, then yes. Otherwise one large box is fine. It also depends which is the best price service. UPS, FEDEX, or USPS.

@@RKTreasureCenter Im wondering if they're charging higher rates because its such a dense area. Im within an hour of NYC so there's a lot of movement.
Where do you pick up that bubble wrap ? Thx
👍That's a great question. It's the best and strong Bubble wrap. Here's the link: bit.ly/3dt79sw

Hey so I have a car seat in the oroginal box from Walmart . Can I ship it in that same box?
Absolutely. Just slap a shipping label on it when it sells. Many companies do this.👍

@@RKTreasureCenter wow Ty so much do you print the label at home ? That’s the last question I promise . Ty so much for replying to me .
Fun.
😁👍
Is the finished box wrapped in saran wrap? Looks like...
Just tape to seal it around the edges.
🤯. Yep, that’s it.
Yep.😁
You can use normal scales and take ur weight down then hold the item and get the increased result.
Very true 👍
I have a question about eBay so I accidentally never verified my email and phone number when I signed up for eBay now since I decided to cancel my account I can’t verify my email and phone number but I never bought or sold anything on my account so you think I should be fine
If you are not going to buy or sell anything. Then yes you will be fine.
@@RKTreasureCenter so what happens if you never verified your email and phone number
The product height seemed too high for your box. How did you resolve that
It fit just fine with slight resizing.
How much did this cost to ship??
$22 through UPS.
@@RKTreasureCenter wow that’s not bad at all I figured it woulda been way more
Imagine a free return on that 😅
Fortunately there wasn't a return...and it wouldn't have been free. 😁
I use USPS, They have one charge of $18.00, use your box and up to 70 lbs.
Glad you watched👍
That’s for simply stating how to resize a box!
😁👍
