hey buddy whole family my name is isabelle i own two six figure online businesses and today i'm going to be showing you guys everything there is to show in regards to shipping products before we get started i also have an entire playlist of how to start your own business if you're new to my channel i'll leave a link up here if you guys are interested in going to check that playlist out i have videos on how to start your website for free zero dollars monthly how to advertise and market your business all on your own from your phone and basically showing you guys step by step of how i grow my businesses to six figure earning businesses in less than a year don't you ever go into a usps office and ask them to ship and to give you the best price because they will not do that for you they will wind up giving you a highway higher price and trying to get you to buy their own packages which you will waste so much money for a product like this if you walked into usps and asked to ship this first they would tell you to buy their own envelope which is at least two to three dollars or they would tell you to use their boxes which cost a lot of money as well i'm gonna be showing you guys the cheapest packaging there is the cheapest shipping rates there is so we can profit as much as we can with our businesses i am also going to be sharing with you guys where we get all of our packaging supplies and everything you guys need to ship your online products shipping was definitely a very overwhelming process when i first started selling things online and but today i hope this video will not only show you it to get a better deal on supplies but i hope this video will also help you in easing this entire process so you are not afraid to start that online business that you've been thinking about starting so you guys do know i do teach drop shipping on this channel although we do not dropship we like to buy our products in bulk and have primary control over the products that we are selling which means we process and ship them right out of our own home so there are so many places where you can get your shipping supplies but a really great place that i do want to recommend to you guys to check out first of all for boxes custom boxes for shipping packages and custom polymers or boxes is this app called made in china made in china is a comprehensive service platform for global trade and it provides a one-step service for promoting international trade between china and wherever you are in the world they have over 3 600 categories so not only can you get shipping supplies with this platform but you can also even find really good products that you could buy in bulk as well it's full of reliable chinese suppliers which i know a lot of you guys are kind of eerie about working with chinese suppliers but i promise you that if you are able to message them i have never personally had a problem with chinese suppliers so through this app they have ratings they have they always do checks and i really do also love that with this kind of app you're able to see um their warehouse they show like their products and they're trying to build relationships with you guys at home because they they literally live by selling this stuff to you guys so this is their business and they're not here to scam anyone at least the ones that i have dealt with so far they even have face-to-face online meetings which i thought was really cool and factory verifications to ensure that you wouldn't get scammed with an app like this and what's cool is that it's convenient and user friendly so you can even make orders straight from your phone which is usually what we always do sometimes i do like to use my laptop just to see um a bigger picture of everything but i usually just place orders on my phone when ordering supplies and things like that and of course i'll leave the link down in the description box if you have trouble finding it you can click the link in the description box below i'll also leave the qr code up on the screen so if you're interested in just scanning the qr code you can do that right now but this app really does give you a lot of free coupons and you can enjoy thousands of different items all within one app which is very convenient for someone that's wanting to start a business and then you can finally bring those business ideas to life i also really love this app because if you go onto this app you can actually really find a lot of custom boxes which i'm going to show you guys right now so the boxes that we use right now we're currently looking into getting more custom boxes we have a lot of what we've ordered already but our next goal is to start getting custom boxes so if you just type in custom shipping boxes on this app you guys can check out um and like see right here they have so many different styles and this is gonna be way cheaper if you order it from an app like this and in bulk so like for this one right here it's only 65 cents each and that comes with 100 and that's around the same price that we're paying for our boxes right now so it's better to have custom boxes and to build your brand rather than to even have what we have right now so that's actually our plan as of right now that i did want to share it with you guys too and it definitely helps to make your customers remember ordering from you and what it's like and of course if you guys want to customize like this box for example all you guys would have to do is just click this button send inquiry and you can even click on customize and they actually allow you to customize some of the pieces right there and then which i think is super awesome because then you can kind of just play around with it see what you think and then you can go ahead and send that inquiry whenever you're ready okay so first let's talk about what supplies you're going to use with shipping so first of all i will show you what we personally use these down here are from you pack and ship so i have this one it's like a pineapple one from you pack and chef and then we keep a couple not so many of these small white boxes just because we do have like varying sizes but i actually started with these and these are just from amazon so i'll leave the size here of what boxes these are and i'll also put the link down in the description box below so we have these types of sizes and i'll leave the size up on the screen of each one we have so we keep a bunch of these these leaf boxes are also from you pack and check these are what we ship all of our bow babies in if somebody orders one to two to three or sometimes more bow babies these ones are the most durable that we have found so far so we really love these and we haven't had any as many accidents i did used to order some on that were thinner and they weren't as good so i definitely recommend these and this is not sponsored but it's from you pack and ship and you can also get these on amazon for lesser quantities if you guys are just starting out
