This one is pretty straightforward. Not a lot of nuance in this video. Basically, I describe how I'm using the Shipping Shields Top Shields and my new subscription at Stamps.com to be able to affordably ship what are called Large Envelopes or Flats.

Just watched! I'll trade you some cool tips that you provided here for my tip. Personally, in this example (35 cards), I would have split the order into two packages (normal #10 mailers, with two stacks of cards in them), which at 2oz each is $0.88 = $1.76 total. I write very clearly on the front of the shipment "ORDER1/2 or 2/2, or 2/3 etc.", have been doing this for years and never had any issues/complaints, so maybe this can be another solution! Cheers!

I've had issues shipping orders in a large envelope. USPS says the envelope isn't "flexible." I've tried spacing the cards out in sleeves (5 cards per sleeve) and spacing them out. Put apparently, it's still not flexible. Anything I can do?
@TCGBulkKings
@TCGBulkKings 2 күн бұрын
Honestly, it sounds like you are conforming to the Large Envelope requirements. I would double check that you aren't doing something outside their bounds, and would drop the mail pieces into a dropbox rather than to the counterperson. Most of the time, unless the mail piece jams the machines, the people doing that process won't care about the flexibility of your mail. But the counterpeople are supposed to be pushing back on "inflexible" or otherwise out of bounds mail pieces.

⁠I completely understand when brick and mortar stores can’t afford the loss of shipping some lower cost orders, so I’m not calling them out. But the volume in orders one encourages by having low cost low margin orders is incredibly valuable. Sure, you may lose a dollar here and there, but a good experience quick and safe delivery to a buyer can lead to that buyer being a repeat customer for more, it increases brand visibility on a platform like TCG player, and just makes sense to my business. Yeah I lose money on a lot of small orders of small cost cards, the non monetary benefits of doing so has proven extremely valuable to me.

Great video, question - how exactly do you deal with the shipping prices when someone orders 15+ cards? I sent out an order for 15 cards, in a PWE, put 4 in a shipping shield then the rest in a team bag - it got sent back to me by the post office stating it needed to be a "parcel" - so I put it in a bubble mailer which I had to get a shipping label for obviously and it was $5 at the post office. I signed up for ShippingEasy and it's still like $4. Example, someone bought 26 cards from me, total was $8.79 after the $1.27 shipping cost - the net amount after TCG takes their fee is $7.35 but then it cost me $4 for the label so I only make $3 instead of $7

I place the cards to one side of the envelope if possible, so it ships like a credit card. If those aren't too rigid then neither are our orders. I also don't drop them off with the humans at the post office, but rather in a blue box or some other kind of bulk drop off. This way they aren't stopping you at the desk with bs flexibility issues. Non-machineable envelopes get run through the machines too, despite the name

This seems like a lot of packaging for $5 worth of cards. Couldn't you have put these in a third of a binder page in a regular #10 PWE with a non-machineable stamp and a couple of additional ounce stamps? That would be like a $1.60 in shipping plus ten cents of packaging. This is almost $3 with shipping and packaging. I won't even get out the top loaders for anything under $10 since I'm shipping those with a non-machineable stamp as well and I don't want to pay that extra 50 cents or more for orders under $10. I think you still have some cash to save here! 😅💸
@TCGBulkKings
@TCGBulkKings Ай бұрын
There's saving money and there's cutting corners. I don't like the binder page method because it's a big difference from my usual process of order packing, I feel like it looks cheap, and I don't feel like it protects as well. Also, don't use non-machineable stamps - they still send those through the machines almost every time. This is the process that's working for me and that makes me feel confident that the cards are going to arrive in the condition I packed them into the envelope. Also also, this order was 4 oz, and 35 cards. I wouldn't have been able to get it light enough or thin enough to qualify for regular PWE shipping anyway. Just some thoughts =]

@@TCGBulkKings I agree that they don't look as nice. I will definitely spend a bit more to protect orders, but not a dollar more. If I get an order for 30 or less cards that will get split into 2 penny sleeves in 2 regular shipping shields because that feels nicer. Still in a #10 with a non-machineable stamp. They may or may not be machined, but my local post office won't ship them without it, and I've had a few customers shaken down by their post office for 44 cents so I just do that for all shipping shield and top loader orders. Anything over 50 cards is probably getting nicer packaging and a bubble mailer, but the 30-50 card orders are tough. I don't know about Flesh & Blood, but 35 Magic cards weighs just over 2 ounces, so a lot of that weight is packaging. Even spiltting them amongst 3 shipping shields would probably fit under 3 ounces. My biggest shipping problem is cheaper packaging for 4 cards or less under a dollar where I need to use flexible packaging for a regular forever stamp, but I don't want to use a team saver, even those cardboard vending sleeves are too expensive. Any ideas for something nicer under 5 cents?

I do this as well as a seller. While I'm packing orders I write down the names of each buyer who is going to receive 2 envelopes, and notify them about it once packing is done. For larger orders I use the method of placing a strip of a binder sheet into a snug poly bag, wrapped in a packing slip. I do wish there was a better (more visually appealing) alternative, but I've received next to no complaints about the condition the cards arrive in, other than those that immediately leave negative reviews about how the cards "could have been damaged," but weren't. It's very possible some people received damaged cards, and simply decided not to inform me (or buy from me again. :( ) But I have many repeat customers, including those who I send cards to this way. I've shipped cards this way to peers to have them verify the condition that they arrive in, and everything seems good so far. When I pack this way, Higher value cards will be separated into the second envelope w/ card savers in team bags. TCGPlayer recently advertised an alternative to this, a more rigid plastic insert that fills the same role as the 1/3rd binder sheet, but they're so pricey it's not realistic to use them for their intended purpose, not when binder sheets seem to be working fine. I really tried to find alternatives to separate envelopes. For a long time I did large envelopes, or "flats." However, the packaging on those was awkward, and they were often returned or billed for additional postage anyway. Two envelopes is my limit, I won't separate into three, I can accept losing money on that threshold of cards, but that volume usually contains a single that makes up for the cost by that threshold. Honestly, if you order ~40 cards for like $5 on TCGPlayer, the seller's option is to split into two envelopes, gamble with their post office on mailing an ugly "flat," or just accept working to lose money by mailing as a package. I understand that stuff like this can look cheap from a buyer's perspective, but the infrastructure for shipping cards of different quantities at these price points is not as developed as many people would think; it's very DIY. Hope this helps. :)

Yeah, and I was definitely in the "eat the cost of a parcel" camp for a long time, but I feel like this method I've settled on is clean enough to not be off putting, looks professional enough, and still saves quite a bit from parcel cost
