New subbie here. I wanted to say this is an awesome video and explains so much. At the moment my shop is only printables but I bought a Cricut explore 3 so stickers will be coming. I had planned on doing regular lettermail but its good to hear al the options
Great video! I would like to add that the Canada Post small business savings don't apply to any stamp purchases (unfortunately...); but they do work for any postage that results in a shipping label! On another note, the stamp roll dispenser is very cool and I think I'll see if I can get a few for myself!
Nice to know that you can use a normal stamp on a rigid mailer to Canada. It's cool that the rigid mailers count as oversize mailers and you can still use postage stamps for it! Would 8.5x11 rigid mailers count as oversize mail too?
Thanks happy you found the video helpful. I have a feeling it may cost more with 8.5x11 like I talk about in the video its always best to go into your post office for your first mailer and get it sized and mailed that way so that you get the right price, or go in and ask how many stamps it would be for that size, with one of the mailers on hand.
so I don't really talk about the Canada post flex delivery in the packing orders video I talk about it on the running a etsy shop here: ruclips.net/video/66YIB35uRZs/видео.html&feature=shares&t=170
Very helpful. Not many channels for Canadian shop owners. I am trying to open my shop and I’m having issues getting to the last step… did you have any issues as a Canadian opening a shop?
You are so welcome, i agree there aren't that much into out there as a canadian! So you're having problems hitting go live on your shop? Just go for it! I believe in you.
@@CandiWare Thank you!! ☺️ I have been trying for a few weeks to go live but Canada isn’t being accepted in the billing part so I can’t go on to the last step 🤦🏻♀️ Etsy says they’re “working” on it..
hey, I do not understand the difference between mailing to the US with stamps vs Small Packet US Air. Do you only use stamps for letter mail and Small Packet for bubble mailers?
Letter mail - stamps Bubble mailers- small packet because you would use too many stamps on a bubble mailer. TBH you can add stamps to anything you would just need to know the right amount and how many :P
might be an odd question, but do you include a return address when you just send out items in regular envelopes with a stamp? if so do you use a P.O box? thank you for all the great info in the video 🥰
I always add a return address, you always should even with letter mail. No I don't use a PO box I just use my home address atm but looking to use my canada post FlexDelivery Address its kinda like a PO box. Why
@@chantarawtf2189 @chantarawtf tbh I haven't had problems but I understand. If you live in Canada look into a free flex delivery address from Canada post
hey I try and print the shipping labels just like you have but on my rollo printer but it is only printing out the bottom part of the shipping order. I have changed my settings to 4x6 but it still does it. if you have any tips please let me know
I would say search rollo and shipping labels are you sure that your printer and paper is 4x6? maybe its a diffrent. I have a dymo so I'm not to sure about the rollo sorry about that. here is info from there website let me know if it helps help.rolloprinter.com/support/solutions/articles/29000000889-etsy-setup-for-rollo
Just wondering! When selling on Etsy, are packing slips generated when someone buys something off Esty or do you need to put them together like the address in a software and then print it on labels?
I take the address and add it to my dymo software and print l. This is my label printing software that came with my printer. But you can also take a buyers address and just print it on your normal printer if you need.
hi candi, where do you buy your rigid mailers? i've been looking around at websites, but the ones based in the US are incredibly expensive for shipping, (e.g $30 for a pack of 100, $40 for shipping...) so is there a canadian-friendly supplier you grab your mailers from? thank u!
I heard you can't mail anything that's not paper to the US with lettermail. Have you had any issues with pins in letter mail going to the US? Thank you!
If it can fit in the envelope then your fine I haven't had a problem. If your worried go to your local post office to mail something out to see what the price comes to/ opinions
Hi Candice! Have you had any issues recently shipping out your stickers to the US using just letter envelopes and stamps? I’ve read forum posts where sellers said CPost has been cracking down on merchandise being sent through Lettermail (when it’s technically only for documents) and returning envelopes to senders. Has this been an issue for you?
I have never heard of this before. And how would they know? As far as I know cp doesn't care and if it fits in a letter mail then w/e. I've been mailing all over the world with my stickers for 3 years and I haven't had problems. Hope that helps.
@@CandiWare Thanks for your quick reply! Seems like it's a fairly recent development, past 4-10 months, which is why I was curious if anything had changed for you. Good to know you've been okay still!
your video was so helpful! I just had a question on stamps, I went to canada post and they had these 'permanent' stamps, could I use those internationally?
No you would need to buy International stamps that cost a little bit more the permanent stamps are only for within Canada . I'm so happy that my video was helpful thanks for the wonderful comment
Great video, very helpful. Wondering as I am new to Etsy , live in Canada, I make and sell greeting cards. These can be shipped in letter envelopes and fit the dimensions of letter mail. However when listing on Etsy it doesn’t give me the option of using letter mail in Canada or the US. How do I do this?
@@CandiWare are you able to show a picture of shipping when you list. Or settings. When I make a shipping profile and do fixed cost it will do it but then says I’m missing information if I select that profile.
@@zaboobebop Did you watch my video I talk about this when mailing what kind of stamp you need and how that works, you just have to make sure you use a letter mail stamp for the US or and International stamp.
Excellent job
thanks
@@CandiWare you're welcome

I'm so glad that this helped you it really means a lot!! And ya as a Canadian I didn't feel there was enough info so this video was born!
Great video! I would like to add that the Canada Post small business savings don't apply to any stamp purchases (unfortunately...); but they do work for any postage that results in a shipping label!
On another note, the stamp roll dispenser is very cool and I think I'll see if I can get a few for myself!
Thank you so much for the comment and yes that is right the small business savings isnt for buying stamps

@@CandiWare Thanks!!
sorry I can't be more helpful, I hope you get a clear answer soon.
Hello!
Where do you get your packaging? (Like bubble mail or whatever)
A bunch from amazon or something?
I have all the links to what I use in the description box :)
so I don't really talk about the Canada post flex delivery in the packing orders video I talk about it on the running a etsy shop here: ruclips.net/video/66YIB35uRZs/видео.html&feature=shares&t=170

@jenniferklimpel202 oh goodness I see
Hey! I'm glad I came across your video 🌼 quick question can you track the letter mails?
No you can't since it's just a stap. Tracking in Canada is quite a bit of money sadly. But I'm happy you found my video and that it was helpful.
hey, I do not understand the difference between mailing to the US with stamps vs Small Packet US Air. Do you only use stamps for letter mail and Small Packet for bubble mailers?
Letter mail - stamps
Bubble mailers- small packet because you would use too many stamps on a bubble mailer.
TBH you can add stamps to anything you would just need to know the right amount and how many :P
Hi amazing video, but let's say someone is not happy with the purchase? How would things be dealt with if you send it with a postage stamp?
You can do that for sure, with my stickers I just refund the item and not the shipping and let them keep the item. but that is what works for me
Can you tell me the postage value for .92 booklet stamps. Is the postage value $ .92 or $1.07 per stamp
You can just go on the cananda post website for domestic staps a book of 10 are 9.20 and USA book is $11.65 for 6 stamps
might be an odd question, but do you include a return address when you just send out items in regular envelopes with a stamp? if so do you use a P.O box?
thank you for all the great info in the video 🥰

@@CandiWare thanks for the response! I was just wary about the idea of using my home address for shipping to strangers!
@@chantarawtf2189 @chantarawtf tbh I haven't had problems but I understand. If you live in Canada look into a free flex delivery address from Canada post
@@CandiWare omg thanks! (They are free?!)
@@greenglitterheartn4228 the envelopes are not free why would you think that

You would just you a stamp and not use etsy shipping since they arent used for letter mail only for small packets and bigger items. Hope that helps
@@CandiWare how can I turn off having shipping attached to Etsy it says I have to give a shipping option
@@janicemackay2662 I just add in my own shipping prices when i set up a listing i dont click any shipping with etsy
@@CandiWare are you able to show a picture of shipping when you list. Or settings. When I make a shipping profile and do fixed cost it will do it but then says I’m missing information if I select that profile.
I can't post photos on youtube message me on etsy please and I'll see what I can do www.etsy.com/shop/CandiWareArt
How do you deal with the customs when sending stickers to the US with just a US stamp? Do you ever have packages lost, is it often?
I don't get many packages lost at all.
Because it’s just a stamp meaning letter mail you don’t have to worry about customs
@@CandiWare thank you!
So you need to put a shipping label aswell as a stamp?
No I just like to print off the buyers address if it's just letter mail just a stamp
@@CandiWare ohhh ok thanks
np you only need a shipping label if your mailing something that wouldn't fit into a letter mail I hope that clears things up for you
@@CandiWare What if you’re sending letter mail to the US or Internationally in general? Just another stamp or?
@@zaboobebop Did you watch my video I talk about this when mailing what kind of stamp you need and how that works, you just have to make sure you use a letter mail stamp for the US or and International stamp.
