- Hi, TH-camrs
Here is a video on how I ship media items (particularly books) that is both fast and inexpensive. It makes sure the item arrives without damage. I buy my bubble mailers in bulk to save money.

Even though it’s four years late, I have to say thank you! I’m a book hoarder who’s finally trying to sell some books I no longer want/read. The idea of a book arriving damaged upsets me, so I’d hate for one to arrive damaged to someone else. Unfortunately, I wasn’t sure how to package them, but this video helps out so much! Thank you again!
Thanks for watching.
The painters guard with the metal edge to bend the cardboard is a great idea!
Wow I love your shipping station bench setup! I would love to get something going like that for myself! Thanks for the inspiration! This is good info!
Best packing video I have seen yet. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Remember when Amazon cared about how they packaged books?
One of the better techniques I remember is they used a stiff piece of cardboard that was larger than the book, saran wrapped the book to that cardboard tile & then put that in a tile in a perfectly sized box. It was so tight of a friction hold, it wasn't going anywhere. I've used it a few times since when mailing books.
If I were making custom box like you, I would order custom decals for'em, informing the recipient it was a custom box made just for them. 😃
Thanks for a solid video showcasing a variety of techniques.
25+ year online seller - I have been using these methods for book shipping for many years. Fast, relatively efficient, inexpensive and it works. Only thing I do differently is I seal each book in a clear polybag just to give it protection from the elements and it helps fragile books stay firm and protected during shipping.
Good job doing this video, even though I'm 7 years late. LOL
Great tips! Thanks for showing a variety of different ways to ship different types of books! That was really helpful!
Nicely done, buddy! I particularly like the use of brown paper to keep the book secure and tightly contained. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the extra steps to serve the customer well!
More impressed with the set up. Been selling 10 years and you gave me a few ideas! Thanks!
a trick : watch series at kaldroStream. I've been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Sincere Stanley Definitely, I have been using Kaldrostream for months myself :)
@Sincere Stanley yea, have been using Kaldrostream for since december myself =)
@Sincere Stanley definitely, I've been using KaldroStream for since november myself :D
Nice video! I also use the cardboard cut-out method when I ship out art books (soft back). I actually use 2 pieces of cardboard. I use extra bubble wrap that I have from packages that I've received, wrap the book up with it, then tape it to the cardboards (one for the front one for the back) to place it inside a bubble envelope. I really can't stand it when people don't take the care or time to package items when they ship it out to the buyers. I wish everyone would take the time to do it right!
I like your method even better, will use it now. I also can’t stand when people don’t secure their items. I put in my listings “will package securely” to show ahead of time my intention.
So glad I found this. I have a large, odd sized book to ship and want to make sure it arrives in the same condition it is in now. The custom cardboard is brilliant. Thanks very much for posting this.
Wonderful video showcasing how to pack books really needed for us. Thank you so much
Very helpful video - just what I was looking for... Thank you!
I just published a book and am selling signed copies of it! This helps a lot! Thank you!
Thank you Sir for showing us your methods for packing and mailing of media - the paint guard is a great idea!
Great techniques! I’m going to use your ideas and some of your setup, too! I’m new to selling books. You’re the best! Thank you Vagabond!
That old guillotine brings back memories👍
I keep all the packaging books I buy arrive in. The cardboard envelopes especially save me a heap of money.
Most helpful video I have found so far. thank you very much!
LUZ I feel the opposite. Lol.
Hey thanks for making the video. I have some books I'm going to sell on ebay this video is helpful. I like the way you use the painter's guide thing to help make the box too.
If you are a small time seller this is the way to go.
Thanks for watching
Very helpful thank you! I’m going to test out the cardboard trick :)
If you don't have a painters guard they now sell these box resizer /box cutter combo that will score the cardboard . The resizer is a little wheel that perforates the box. Really handy.
Good pointers; it's been a few years since I did this method so this video was helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Love the painters guide as a tool!
Glad it was helpful!
Yeah scoring a straight line is definitely not my strong suit! Lol
This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Going to send few books to my friend!
Nice video! I need one of those paper cutters!! You should put your tape right close under the shelf where your craft paper roll is at...instead of bending over all the time...No disrespect...just a little OCD here.
Just what I needed, Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips - this is so helpful!
Very helpful, thank you for sharing! I love your furry studio buddies haha!
How did you set up your tape dispenser under the table? Did you use a strip tie??
Hi do you package & weight your books before you sell them and then store them until they are sold?
No I wait till they are sold.
notesfromavagabond How do you know how much they weigh if you do it after the item has sold? What do you fill in the calculated shipping area? Do you guess or do you use flat rate shipping?
Thanks for the great tips!
nice work area! thank you.
Nice shipping setup.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
amazing! Thank you
Yes, I "liked the movie"! : ) Brilliant use of the painters straight edge. Bravo!
Question, if you don't have a wide enough pouch or envelope, would you ever consider once your media is secure in cardboard/stretch film etc, to wrap in brown paper and then clear tape the entire surface? Do you see anything wrong with that technique? I have really large mechanic's manuals that are just too large for envelopes. But I want it to arrive attractive and finished. Any thoughts? Thanks for all the great tips!
Thanks for the demonstration !
Fun stuff dude. Thanks for the tips.
How do you determine shipping cost ahead of a buyer purchasing your books? You have a great method of protecting the shipments but no two book wrap up will be the same size or weight...so...do you have a reliable calculated shipping method that you could share? Thank you
You get a Thumbs Up, dude! Thanks! Very helpful.
Thank you so much, great ideas, easy to figure out what to do, and glad to know the cheapest way to mail...i.e. media USPS...great TH-cam video,,,do you do handyman services too? ...LOL
GOOD VIDEO I wasn't sure where you were going for a minute with the plastic wrap then you put it in the bubble mailer. Im sure the monkey guy appreciates you didn't ship him off.
Some great packing tips! Thanks! 👍🏼
Great vid. If I close my eyes it sounds like Kermit the Frog is explaining it all.
Lol
@@spaceouttunes2139 Did you close your eyes and listen lol 😆
Could you show more on how to pack your items from ebay??
I love your videos! Entertaining and informative. Where do you get your craft paper from? I'm looking for a good price on it.
I use Boardwalk K1840900 Kraft Paper, 18" x 900ft, Brown that I buy on Amazon. Thanks for watching.

Still relevant. Thank you very much!
What tape dispenser and roll of paper do you use?
Thank you! This is very helpful 😊
Good tip thumbs up

Really useful video.
Thank you! Good video!

While I appreciate the effort given and am sure this method is cost effective, it seems as "fast" as starting my own box factory.
