Pack 30+ Orders with Me | How I Package Orders| All about Packaging Supplies

If you are new here, I am Ashley and I operate TWO Etsy embroidery shops full time from my home studio. Over 3 years ago, I traded in my RN job and stethoscope to stay home and operate my businesses full time when I could no longer keep up with both! Now I have a beautiful little girl at home with me (and another baby on the way) that keeps me busy alongside my shops.

Cute polymailers!

[@anitaware5943]

Thanks!

[@veritagwallace1956]

Today you really looked tired ;-( I remember well how tiring it can be while expecting a baby. Be sure to take those prenatal vitamins and some iron. It’s amazing how you’re able to fulfill orders, be a mom, and take care of your home and family needs.💜 Some days you need to take some ‘downtime’ and treat yourself! Bless You 🌸💜🥰🕊

[@AshleyMonograms]

Thank you, I was very tired but try to rest plenty too!

[@mncustom-made-barblafond6825]

Very good points on cost effectiveness of adding freebies and frilly packaging. I keep my packaging as simple as possible.

[@Miss-Laine]

I wish I was more organized 🤭 like you. But unfortunately no matter how much I try my craft room is a mess.

[@AshleyMonograms]

❤❤ It's not always so organized but I do try to pick up daily as I know I work better in a clean and organized space.

[@SimplyBeauLLC]

Hey Ashley great video! The thermal labels you can get for free from the ups website

[@nanciblank6322]

Loved this video! Absolutely keep it cost-effective. The more things I put in your bag, the more I’m gonna charge you cuz that’s not coming out of MY profit 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🤣

[@AshleyMonograms]

100% yes!

[@melaniehadley_ATXlendingteam]

I don’t have an Etsy shop, so this may be a dumb question, but how do you choose what carrier you will use to ship things? Does the Shippo app tell you the most cost effective mode of shipping, i.e. UPS, USPS, etc.?

[@AshleyMonograms]

Shippo does give you the rates of multiple carriers and services within each when you're selecting how to ship. I allow my customers to choose for the most part. Shirts ship USPS first class and jackets as Priority due to weight. I then give them the option to upgrade to Priority, UPS ground, UPS 2 day, etc for the extra cost. I only switch to all UPS around the holidays or when our regional USPS is having significant delays.
