You are already a success on eBay and you spend huge amount of your time, money and energy on shipping items to your customers. If you stock the products that you sell instead of drop shipping, you need to organize your shipping practices today!
Keep stamps, packing materials, and boxes on hand. You can have these items delivered to you, which will save you a lot of time. Use large padded envelopes instead of boxes whenever possible. These envelopes are easier to handle, and usually cheaper to purchase. Furthermore, they often weigh just a little less than cardboard boxes do, which will save a bit of money on the postage. Purchase stamps and packing materials online. Not only will you save time, you will save money as well.
If you ship a lot of packages, purchasing your own set of postage scales your efficiency will increase automatically. Other items that you should invest in include a rubber stamp, label printing software, a good printer, and labels. Either use a stamp for the return label, or keep a large stock of pre-printed return labels. Planning your shipping well will make your job easier and less stressful.
