The Ultimate Guide to Reseller Shipping

Shipping is often the scariest part for new sellers. "What if it breaks?" "What if I lose money on postage?" Let's simplify it.

1. Supplies You Actually Need

Don't buy expensive boxes.

  • Poly Mailers: Essential for clothing. cheap, waterproof, and lightweight.
  • Bubble Wrap: For anything fragile.
  • Recycled Boxes: Save boxes from your own Amazon orders. Buyers love eco-friendly packaging.

2. Weigh Before You List

The #1 rookie mistake: Guessing the weight. If you guess 250g and it weighs 260g, you might jump to the next price tier and lose your profit. Buy a cheap kitchen scale. Weigh with the packaging.

3. Platform Integrations

  • Vinted: Use the integrated shipping labels (Mondial Relay, Evri, UPS). You don't pay for them; the buyer does. Just print and stick.
  • eBay: Buying labels through eBay is usually cheaper than going to the post office counter.

4. The "Thank You" Note

Should you include one?

  • Yes: It builds connection and encourages positive feedback.
  • Keep it simple: A quick "Thanks, [Name]!" on a scrap of paper is enough. No need for free candy (it melts!).

Shipping is the last step. Listing is the first.
