Wow we need more creative Canadian businesses to help Canadians like me ♡
Thank you so much! There literally are not many currently videos on shipping in Canada. I found this so helpful. Please make more videos like this in the future especially focusing on Canada post. Some of the other options are not available across Canada unfortunately. Would love to learn more about your experience shipping items in Canada.
We will work on making more videos for Canada post! Didn’t even consider not all provinces have other options, thank you for pointing that out 😊 I also found it so difficult to learn about Canadian shipping when first starting out because of the limited resources. I am glad it helped!
@@percysangels That would be awesome!! I'm in Atlantic Canada and we basically just have Canada Post out here. Thinking about making a little online shop with some of my crochet items but the shipping/ receiving online payments is a complete mystery to me. Would love more videos please. So informative from a Canadian perspective!!!! 😀
I watched all 3 of your videos. I subscribed, hoping you make more. Best of luck~
Thank you for your support 🥰
Very informative.... thank you so much
OMG!! Thank you for this video!!
So, I've ventured into a new Etsy journey. My previous shop was Print-on-Demand, but now I'm diving into shipping orders myself. Exciting stuff! However, my first order hit me with a shipping surprise. How do you work that magic while keeping prices in check? Do you handle shipping labels through Etsy? I tried it, and it seems Expedited is the only option. Weird, right? I was hoping for regular mail. Any tips to ease my shipping stress? My focus is all over the place!
Kindest regards
Congratulations on starting your journey!! 😊 I always charge shipping no matter what. Although it is expensive for the customers, it is the only way I can ship products out. I have my own website and an Etsy account but I never use Etsy to ship since I find it more expensive than my courier. Depending on where you’re located, there are usually budget couriers (for us in Canada there’s couriers like chit chats) that offer lower rates for small businesses.
When starting out, I definitely recommend looking for budget couriers near your area. If not, compare prices amongst different couriers. And also experience shipping locally/ within your country , and then expanding your geographic area there. Hope this helps!!
Nice guys are you in Canada ?? Cause I am also in canada so this is really an informative video love your work keep it up guys
Yes we are from Canada! 🇨🇦 glad it helps! When I first started I thought RUclips lacked Canadians!
@@percysangels actually I am migrated Indian but you guys doing really well I wish you all the best and hope will meet you guys soon 💥
30 dollar ship from canada to Europe in canada post?? Really!! to ship a 300 gram hat from ottawa to Edmonton it costme 30 dollars wtf🫠 what do i am missing i have a business account on canada post and i dont get any discount where do you live? We dont have that company in Ottawa 😢
@@Pokerrr 😮 that is crazy!! We live in Vancouver bc! I hope chit chats and stallion express open in your area soon - they really changed the game for Canadian shipping for us. I believe Canada post charges different rates when in different provinces, so you may just be unlucky :(
