Thank you for watching. Just to note that I never get any complaints on my shipping methods. The padded mailers are strong and water resistant and protect my books well. I have over 3000 positive feedback which always says books arrived in great condition. I do wrap the bundles of books in the cling wrap to ensure they don't move around in the mailers and get scuffed and I tape the larger mailers up for the same reason. I don't want the books moving around in the mailers during transit. I like them to be wrapped nice and tight to avoid the least amount of movement inside the mailer. My packages are sent as flat rate so I pay by the mailer size (Small, Med & Large). This is why I pick all the orders first before printing my labels so I know the size of the mailer label I need to purchase. The Australia Post flat rate mailers all have a weight limit of 5kg (11pounds). I do normally work a little faster but the most important part to speeding up any process is to not have to move around much in the process. All my sales are 1-2 steps away from my shipping station. The less steps you need to make in any process with speed up your system.

@backfromburnout 2 жыл бұрын

The more bundles of books I have in a sales day the longer my shipping takes me due to all the taping and wrapping. Single books are very fast to package.

Likewise. I'm noting changes I should, no, WILL be making to my own shipping process. Going to use the cling more often to start! When you're using the cling, doesn't it tear if you pull? This way, you don't have to have to pause, grab the scissors, cut, then put it aside each time.

Mel, I've been selling books for over 10 years, and I didn't realise the padded mailers were included in the flat rate postage! OMG, I've been struggling with bubble wrap and cardboard. This is going to save me so much time. Also going to invest in one on those label printers. So glad I found your channel today.

Oh yay!! Yes once you use padded mailers you will not swap back! If you sell books in quantity then buy the mailers in bulk as you get a much bigger discount. I buy my mailers in bulk lots of 1000.

Hi! I know this is so long ago, but I use generic mailers to save on cost, on my AusPost businness account the only options are My own Packaging (the generic mailers) or a discounted Auspost price for Satchels or Boxes, not Auspost Mailers.. are the auspost padded mailers really included in flat rate postage? what do I put it through on the app as? a Box?

Thank you for taking the time to make a clip when you're not feeling so good. I wish you a speedy recovery. There's something strangely appealing about packing videos and this was no exception. I really appreciated that there was no music. Congrats on the mega weekend of sales! Thanks for your details (above) about your packaging. I've often wondered of the padded mailers are flat rate too. I did notice you needed to go up a size with 2 or 3 parcels but used the label you'd already printed. Have these parcels ever attracted a request for additional payment? I get SO frustrated when books don't fit by mere millimetres into the most economical mailer!

@backfromburnout 2 жыл бұрын

I think one of them in this video I was trying to squish into a small but I did actually have medium paid on the mailer I had just grabbed the wrong mailer and then soon realised. I don't often make mistakes on the shipping size as I pick the orders first and any I'm not sure of I will check for the size before purchasing the label. Normally if I make an error I will just print a new label and request a refund on the one I did wrong. It is frustrating when they are just that tiny bit too big to fit in the small mailer.

I am a collector of bluray and dvd's, many purchased from ebay (as well as from thrifting),. It is a good practice when posting them to sandwich a small piece of bubble wrap between the disc and the inside of its cover to prevent it from popping out of its hole. I have had some sent where the disc is scratched because it has become loose inside it's case. Obviously it's not possible to do on sealed items, but on opened second hand ones, it is something collectors appreciate and I always give great feedback to sellers who do it.

@backfromburnout 2 жыл бұрын

How do you make sure you're packing the right order when you print off all the labels at once? I tend to print as I pack each order as a last check to make sure I'm sending the right item to the right person. The only other way I can think of is to print off packing slips, if I start getting a lot of orders and then do as you do... I'd be interested in seeing that part of the process, if you have a different system.

Wow! You have such an ultra refined packing method, even down to the tear off strip motion from left to right and straight into the bin! With your items all being the same shape, just different sizes, makes the whole process so much quicker! At 11:20 I noticed was the only time you put the label on the padded mailer before inserting the book into the packet ( I think you had an issue with that particular item and momentarily broke the rhythm perhaps! ). Loved the video, I watched all of it. Wishing you feeling better soon Mel !!

Your right! I noticed the book was dirty so I cleaned it and then set it aside to dry and it did get me out of routine and when I went back to find the sticker that was getting buried I peeled it off and had to put it on the mailer as I didn’t have the book packed! Great observation! Thank you for watching all of that Ian!

I would be very interested in your postage process, particularly why you use certain envelopes rather than prepaid satchels, what each item costs you in postage, just general advice to the best and cost effective postage process.

@backfromburnout 2 жыл бұрын

My packages are sent as flat rate so I pay by the mailer size (Small, Med & Large). This is why I pick all the orders first before printing my labels so I know the size of the mailer label I need to purchase. The Australia Post flat rate mailers all have a weight limit of 5kg (11pounds). I use padded mailers because otherwise I would have to spend time wrapping the books in bubble wrap to put in a poly mailer as a basic poly mailer will not protect the book alone.

This is great. My bff and I do this (on opposite coasts), it’s called body doubling in the ADHD world; in grad school, I learned about it as “parallel play” - basically two people (so you, and us, the individual viewers) working/doing their own thing while in the “presence” of each other; it somehow helps people who struggle with analysis paralysis/depression/just general blah and not knowing where to start….

How do you not mix up the orders? This was soothing to watch without music.

@backfromburnout 2 жыл бұрын

On the labels when I print them there is a reference section. So I type an abbreviation of the book name/bundle in that section. So as I'm finishing one package I'm looking over at the next label to know exactly what the next book is I have to grab. Also when I pick the books I pick them in order so they generally are stacked up in the same order I package.

You could use a 2" Industrial desk tape dispenser for your shipping tape. It will greatly optimise your packaging routine since you won't have to hold it when you are grabbing tape. Here in Canada Uline is selling those. It's is looking like a giant adhesive tape dispenser but for shipping tapes (it's not a tape gun, it's staying flat on the desk).

@backfromburnout 2 жыл бұрын

I have been wanting to buy one of those to try! Do you think it will be faster for me? I'm am all about doing anything I can to fasten a system

@Nicolas-ic4dt 2 жыл бұрын

@@backfromburnout It will definitively help you to gain a few seconds for each parcels you are using tape. You will free the hand that used to grab and hold the tape gun. You could use this hand to place the poly at the good position near the dispenser and do the taping in one operation instead of two. It took me a week to get used to it but I won't go back to the tape gun unless if I am taping big boxes. With the number of package you are doing, it will do a difference if you get used to it. Another option will be to find a mailer that is in between the med and larger size, so you won't have to use tape at all and skip the whole tape operation. You will save time, but if you have another size of mailers it will take more space to store them on your shelf.

@backfromburnout 2 жыл бұрын

@@Nicolas-ic4dt I will search for a tape dispenser to buy. I use the Australia Post branded mailers so I can use their flat rate. If I use other sizes I have to enter weight and measurements which is time consuming.

eBay is such a roller coaster, it goes up and down. It's always nice to have a big weekend but I still try to look on it on a monthly basis as it tends to even itself out with good weeks and bad.
