You're going to get your 10,000 steps per day done in no time on big pick, pack & ship days. I love these type of videos. Great to see you getting back into it. 😊
2 weeks of orders done in that amount of time... You did EXCELLENT!! Don't worry, you'll find your rhythm again. And as far as your picking issues...well, life would be SO boring if we didn't have any challenges. So going forward... YOU GOT THIS!!
My daily routine includes checking for a new video, it's a good day today. 😊 You're doing such a GREAT job getting settled and back to business! Well done
Well done!!! I imagine a shelf read would be a good idea - you may even find a book or bundle that fell off your store. Focus on one shelf a day - you will be through your store in no time. Wish I lived near you - I love that OCD kinda stuff 😊
What fun watching your first big day back in business. Thank you for sharing it! I hope you will provide your "employees" (You! lol) an emergency snack basket, sealed in something to avoid attracting visitors, of some nuts or energy bars so you can power through your day! Nothing worse than being hangry lol. xoxo
Mel you defiantly need at least a 3 high steps. Those books could fall on you & this is a massive No No 😮😮your safety always come first Paramount. You've done a great job apart for the hight thing. Your doing so much better & seem to have a lot more energy. mx
Gosh, super slick process (just a couple of tiny hiccups) -Tech'n'Sports will be proud of you! Love the little trolley. Can't wait for next video to learn how post office staff coped with ALL those packages! 😃
Hi Mel. First day of picking and packing in your new warehouse and only one missing book out 100+ orders thats amazing. Hope you found it quick enough to post it with the rest. Hope you noted down the shelves that needed a stock check and by now they are all where they should be. Your set up is incredible. Hope the cement noise isnt too annoying for you. Hope your sales are climbing and you will be back to normal real soon. xxx hugs from sunny Spain
Man oh man did you ever earn your bread and butter today. I'm impressed. It's such a joy to watch your business ebb and flow. Hang in there. You are doing a fantastic job and everything will fall into place soon.
When you started packaging without reading that the label corresponds to the book i started freaking out. I know you have a system but i'd double check just in case haha. Good stuff anyway Mel
I was wondering the same thing. Was there a packing label perhaps with each shipping label? I was like how would you know which label went to which book. Anyways very impressed Mel. Congrats on the new warehouse.
Your energy, self-discipline and ability to work within a limited timetable is amazing and inspirational ! I've been a collector for over 20 years and am feeling a little daunted to start listing, but you're so encouraging and positive. So happy for you Mel, great job !
Yeah girl, it's time to upgrade and wear a go pro! This is way too much work and will lead to burnout much faster. Plus it will help your channel grow! Great video!
I'm afraid of burnout and physical issues. Hire a 20-year-old. I don't think this intensity level is sustainable. I guess it depends how long you plan on being in the game, but I think you have a sweet thing going on that you should never jeopardize. You're in a warehouse. Hire some young person for a few hours. You still have all those boxes to do something with (what's in them?), you need to go through your entire stock and maybe change stuff so you don't have to back out of rows, so why not? You're reaching, bending, lifting, over and over. WE see it! I bet you will love having help for a liitle while per day!
Issues are part of the business, at least you know they are there somewhere. Once you get a chance to go through your inventory it will be back to running smoothly for you.
Great to see your video. I got myself a warehouse now too and i have been moving into it over Easter and then had fun on tuesday finding 108 orders over the 5 days. Still have some more to move in but its so much better than the 3 storage units i used to have!
Wait the post office gets commissions on packages well that’s new nothing like that here in Uk , love the channel and what your doing I love watching picking videos
I wonder if the missing book is somehow in one of those boxes in that pile behind you at the end of the video? Great work. Good luck sorting out your inventory.
Wow! Just Wow! I'm a sub and been watching for a long time and you have made such progress throughout your reseller Journey! You had so many ups and downs to deal with mixed in and you keep pressing on! All the hard work and determination that has gone into this! Amazing! Not only back from burnout but back from a lot of things! Congratulations on your move, new setup and new beginning!
Great setup! And anything new or a big change will have a few kinks to straighten out. You did great job with the move and keeping things organized. Hope to see another vid soon. Take care
Unless you're using your phone for videoing going up and down the aisles, you can get a phone mount for a bike you can attach to the cart. Would having your phone right there attached to your cart with the screen right in front of you help?
Go Mel! You are a super star! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 You’ve done an amazing job adjusting to this new environment, and to do it with minimal mistakes is commendable. For the top shelves, could you store the books vertically (standing up)? I know you’ve said before it doesn’t maximise your space, but for the top shelves, this might help and make it safer for you. I do this for my books, and use some thin metal bookends from Kmart either end. Keep up the fab work. Kate ❤
Mel, moving is a chore, especially when things don't transition smoothly. I'm hoping all gets settled well soon. I have had a burning question since the new warehouse, and even more, watching you pick orders. You shuffle book piles a lot. With the new space, what if you worked at changing the shelf setup so you could access the books from both sides instead of one side? That way the spines face the isle on both sides and you won't have to move piles for the books at the back. Instead, the spines face out and the inner edges face each other. Does that make sense to you?
Congratulations on getting that done with only one missing book. I have a 1 foot tall stool that rolls around until you step on it and then it becomes sable and immobile. Maybe somehting like that could be attached to your cart and wheeled arougn so you are not on tippy toes. U-Line box company has one, Rolling Step Stool - Red model H-7846R so you can see what I mean.
That’s great that there was only one that you have to search for!! Very impressive! Hey get you a phone holder that has an arm and attach it to your cart handle so you have your arms free. I have seen them with flexible arms thanks for the great video!! You’re the best!! ❤❤👍👍👏👏🙌🙌
Could you print out a sheet with all items sold and mark them off as you go? When you can’t locate one just move on and go back and look for them when finished.
Mel, What a great job!! I'm thinking of a light weight step stool, put on the bottom shelf of your dolly. Don't reach, you might pull a mussel or get hit in you eye with a book.
Maybe a stamp with your signature would help out. Maybe it actually doesn't have to be your signature just an icon as long as your authorize it as your own.
Congratulations Mel on your new warehouse. I look forward to seeing you prosper in this new chapter ❤ If I were you I'd get a cheap smart tablet and a tablet holder that I could strap on the trolley. We are not getting any younger so you would get a bigger screen to see what you are picking and bigger photos and then you wouldn't need to use your phone for that.
Congratulations Mel! You did well on your first pick pack ship video. Couldn't locate 1 book out of 123 books i think that's great. How about a step ladder? One of your viewers, Sher Finds, commented below. I think you should read it, I think it's a great idea, what you think Mel? Just be careful with your leg! Stay hydrated and definitely eat. Until next time, blessings!
Very well done Mel, with only minimal errors with your new warehouse layout! What do you do if it's pen or ink as opposed to pencil written in when doing you final check before packing the book! Your organisational skills are second to none; Inspired!! 🙏🙏🙏
Why use random SKU numbers instead of a library system? Books are easy to keep organised. I use this system for my main stock, which is graphic novels. Sales Platform > Publisher > Format > Series Title
Nice number of sales to break in the new spot (and the new post office)! It'd be funny to see a reaction video from the post folks if they are surprised!
I the US, eBay prints a scan sheet for the post office if we check if. Then the PO only has to scan only one code that you give them, not 123 packages! I gather that Australia. Post might not do that?
Maybe, when you get the time, you could all the old books, that have been in your stock, to get them off your list. So these aren't filling in your shelf. Then there is more space for all the new books. Just an idea. It is no nice to see you packing again. So you can get some income.
i hope that packing order dudn't screw up- that be impossible to fix especially as u talking about a missing book Also a full re-check i dont think is necessary, just make a note on your shelves of potential mixups.
Hi Mel....yes they need to add that feature to the app regarding sorting your sold items in order just like you can do on the desktop.....picking slip.
You were bound to have a few glitches. It's just really difficult to move that much inventory and not have an issue. Chip away at your SKUs and you will get it sorted out.
Awesome work Mel some bugs to iron out but a get result! I know you are not Aust Post but you know what the commission is for the local Aust Post office when you lodge with them as I was only just made aware of it recently when I took my parcels in? It will only get easier from here on, keep it up! 🙂
Next time take sticky notes with you & write down what needs changing, then as you go along you'll no by your note what needs changing 👍👍mxx
You need one of those rolling step stools
Yes! I've commented on that. Like the library uses.
If you need power use a jackery. That’s what I use. I print my order, then pick, weight, pack, and ship
When I forget to add a custom sku, I look at the date I listed it and then find other items I listed on the same day to see where those were stored.
You're going to get your 10,000 steps per day done in no time on big pick, pack & ship days. I love these type of videos. Great to see you getting back into it. 😊
You might want to consider getting a stamp with your signature on it. It may or may not save you time. 😊
A while back, she said she thought a scribble would be faster, but I think stamping might be better.
2 weeks of orders done in that amount of time... You did EXCELLENT!! Don't worry, you'll find your rhythm again. And as far as your picking issues...well, life would be SO boring if we didn't have any challenges. So going forward... YOU GOT THIS!!
My daily routine includes checking for a new video, it's a good day today. 😊 You're doing such a GREAT job getting settled and back to business! Well done
These pick and pack videos are my favourite!
So glad you are starting to iron out some of the kinks and make things easier for yourself! 🙌🏼😁
Thanks Trent! I’ll do some more in this new space! It will be easier in the new warehouse
Well done!!!
I imagine a shelf read would be a good idea - you may even find a book or bundle that fell off your store. Focus on one shelf a day - you will be through your store in no time. Wish I lived near you - I love that OCD kinda stuff 😊
Not a bad number of mistakes considering everything that's been going on and how many books you moved! Great work! :)
You can get Australia Post to pick up. It would be much easier on your body.
Is there a fee? There must be a reason not to.
Oh my goodness, Mel!! 120+ packages in one day is crazinesssssssss. A job very well done!!
It was a big day
What fun watching your first big day back in business. Thank you for sharing it!

Welcome back. Enjoyed the new warehouse and your packing station along with your great skills.
I am so excited to see how you grow in the new space. Been missing your videos!
Expecting this many sales now you have a warehouse
You might need do a quick stock check by sku numbers :) you got this! The hardest part was the moving
Hey Mel, where do you get your shelving from? I see you use it for your workstation. Love it!
Could you put something to step on at the bottom shelf of your cart? It would be ready to use when you need to pick something from a top shelf.
Gosh, super slick process (just a couple of tiny hiccups) -Tech'n'Sports will be proud of you! Love the little trolley. Can't wait for next video to learn how post office staff coped with ALL those packages! 😃
Another fantastic video with lots and lots of giggles. So refreshing to watch you laugh at yourself, such a great demeanor.
You go girl!!!! Hope the post office staff was nice to you
Love to see more of these packing videos,well done on your new premises
So happy to see your smiling face. Congrats
Congrats! I I officially have that "oh no!" song in my head! LOL
me too!!! 2 days from now they will be locking me away in a padded room. At least I will have an appropriate song to sing.. :)
Shangri-Las 'Remember (Walking in the Sand)'
Get a little rolling step stool. A good metal one you can kick around.

I was wondering the same thing. Was there a packing label perhaps with each shipping label? I was like how would you know which label went to which book. Anyways very impressed Mel. Congrats on the new warehouse.
I've put the wrong label on the wrong package and sent it before , results in 2 unhappy customers and 2 refunds 😬
She has an abbreviated name of the book on the shipping label and she glances at what the next one is as she seals the previous one.
@@ArtJourneyUK How do you get this info to print on the label? This would be helpful.
Congratulations! That's the worst picking and packing you'll see from here on out (and it was pretty good already!). It only gets better!
Your energy, self-discipline and ability to work within a limited timetable is amazing and inspirational ! I've been a collector for over 20 years and am feeling a little daunted to start listing, but you're so encouraging and positive. So happy for you Mel, great job !
I like the concrete workers noise!🎉❤
Yeah girl, it's time to upgrade and wear a go pro! This is way too much work and will lead to burnout much faster. Plus it will help your channel grow! Great video!

You need a taller trolley with a pull down step like they use in supermarkets, love the videos ❤
This was a real eye opener, I hadn't realized how much work is in a pick
It’s great to see you back in action. Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to me 🙏🏼😘
Mel, Not too bad. You did great!! Thanks for sharing!! ~C
CONGRATULATIONS 🎊
Mel you work hard I love your attitude wish you all the best that life has to offer
Mel... A "rolling stairway" on your shopping list!😊👍🐿Save your body from harm and books from damage too!🐿
Love the cute little Skippy noise you make when looking for a book 😘
Your new set up looks just amazing 👏
Great to see your video. I got myself a warehouse now too and i have been moving into it over Easter and then had fun on tuesday finding 108 orders over the 5 days. Still have some more to move in but its so much better than the 3 storage units i used to have!
Woo hoo Merridy! You will love warehouse life lol
Well done on moving to a new warehouse, Merridy. Good luck from sunny Spain x
@@backfromburnout nearly finished the move and loving it already
Mel, You can buy a ladder with wheels…and you click them in to lock …it fits in the aisles and easier to access books that are high 😊
Wait the post office gets commissions on packages well that’s new nothing like that here in Uk , love the channel and what your doing I love watching picking videos
I watched this video this morning, and then saw you out in the wild! Thanks for taking the time to have a chat on what must have been a crazy long day
Now you need a new T-shirt. Pick-Pack-Ship with me. PPS
Great video Mel. I think you might need to hire someone part time until you get your new space set up like you want to get more production. ❤
I wonder if the missing book is somehow in one of those boxes in that pile behind you at the end of the video?
Great work. Good luck sorting out your inventory.
All the boxes are now only unlisted books.
Wow! Just Wow! I'm a sub and been watching for a long time and you have made such progress throughout your reseller Journey!

You did great! You're been working hard!
Great to see you Mel! You did Amazing! That’s alot of books😮You look so happy. The warehouse boys..I think that’s perfect 😀
The different color spines and covers always gets me too! Hahaha (Like your Good Food Made Simple book.)
most bestest beautifulest bad ass'est book seller this side of the pecos mountains ....
This was very satisfying to watch. Great job!
Great setup! And anything new or a big change will have a few kinks to straighten out. You did great job with the move and keeping things organized. Hope to see another vid soon. Take care
We are all proud of your accomplishments! 😊
pretty good after all the moving. hope it goes well for you in this place Mel.
Thank you. I love it
Unless you're using your phone for videoing going up and down the aisles, you can get a phone mount for a bike you can attach to the cart. Would having your phone right there attached to your cart with the screen right in front of you help?
Bloody hell! What a workout! Great job Mel from a new subscriber. P.S. Great set-up in your warehouse.
OMG a newbie Post Office and then you arrive LAtE oh you are brave.

Great job for Day 1! It will be so efficient once you get the glitches worked out.
Hi Mel, thanks for the update, glad you're doing ok !!!
Maybe a stamp with your signature would help out. Maybe it actually doesn't have to be your signature just an icon as long as your authorize it as your own.
I’m not sure a stamp would be allowed but I suspect it would take the same amount of time to stamp it as it does to scribble it lol

Massive effort. Well done you. Incredible system you have and it worked 98%
You are my hero Sweetheart. Cheers, Maz
Awesome Mel you got this💯👍😁
Thank you 😁
Great job Mel! Don't know how you move all those books. You are an inspiration!
