    Great video! I moved to shipping shields because I was having an issue with mailing top loaders in the middle of the envelope.
    Now I place the order vertically on one side of the envelope so there’s no issue with bend and I’ve had no problems at all.
    Also, it’s not as aesthetically pleasing, but to lessen my shipping costs, I moved to stamps and I bought third party tracking through lettertrack, just for peace of mind on orders I don’t want questions on whether they were delivered or not.

      @ NP. Give it a try before investing much into it though. I got 250 transactions off the jump and it’s not that great. I add it to orders around $10-20 but the scanning kind of sucks and it’ll never say “Delivered” because it can only go as far as the destination post office. The tracking has been super spotty at best too. I’ve been searching for a service that’s more consistent, but there aren’t many.

    I think both the envelopes and boxes look very good, but a couple of things come to mind. The box for the sealed product, if its too snug it could easily get damaged in the corners during shipping (I do live in a different country than you so maybe having your packages tossed around is not a problem there). Having more room with a buffer of crushed paper helps with that.
    And the envelopes, in case you have any cards in simple sleeves outside the top loader, the surface would be easily scratched with pressure. Simplest example that comes to mind: in the building I live in the doorman receives our packages and they write some control stuff in all the mail. Customs also writes things in the envelope sometimes. I've had pen pressure markings in cards before because there werent any thick layers between the cards and envelope.
    Anyway, maybe these are just very specific situations you don't need to worry about, and you did say you never had any problems, but thought I'd share my two cents! Thank you for your videos, I'm enjoying them very much.

    While your method of packaging singles is not for me, do appreciate seeing a different way of doing things. BTW, the clean look is very nice.
    A couple reasons why I use #10 envelopes:
    -It’s the perfect size for standard packing slips. The larger packing slip is easier to read if the customer wants to double check their order. Sometimes I’m the customer and I always double check the packing slip when I order cards.
    -Tall letters are easier to remove from some old mail boxes. I had an order get lost in my mailbox. I used to have an old style small mailbox where the mail gets dropped in from the top (came with the house). Any short mail was difficult to remove. One of the cards I ordered from TCGplayer was left in my mailbox for three days. No one noticed it when getting the mail. After that incident I replaced my mailbox. If it happened to me it probably happened to other buyers as well. As a seller I do not want customers messaging me because their mailbox is outdated.

      Honestly I don't know if I'll make a video dedicated to it, but maybe if I can integrate it into another one.

    • @GameVitamins

      Really appreciate that! I currently use the TCGPlayer app to scan everything in. Just be careful to watch for the set as sometimes it gets that wrong. That's why I purposefully only scan one set per "collection" on the app. For example if you're scanning in Zendikar and nothing else it's really easy to sort by set and if a single card is not Zendikar, you know it scanned it incorrectly and you can change before you upload to TCGPlayer.

    Booster Boxes - 1. Use USPS Flat Rate Bubble Mailers either to ship, or co-pack to protect if you do box. 95% time, just box into the mailer - customer is happy UNLESS it is a vintage box. Also, you'll get better rates putting your hard edge box into a poly bag. See "BOX IN BAG" rates.
    Shipping - PirateShip > Stamps - great rates and 100X better UX, easy to copy paste tracking back to TCG and integrates with eBay if you sell there. Presets great too, but same as Stamps.

      Thanks for the tips on the shipping with the box in bag idea. I'll definitely look into that. I don't deal with vintage, but on real high value stuff I would definitely level up the packing to ensure no damage. I should have mentioned that I do use PirateShip for the boxes and packages I send via UPS. I'll have to play around with it on the envelope side of things.

    I don't think you're being weird or anything by putting a lot of thought and care into the unboxing experience. From my experience of buying cards from TCG they almost always ship like shit. Poorly packaged, basically zero protection and just don't inspire confidence. The experience of opening a package of cards which you've been waiting potentially 2 weeks for and it looking like its from a legitimate business vs some random Joe blow make all the difference.

    The most frustrating thing I've dealt with when ordering from other sellers regarding packaging is the varieties of taping methods. Sometimes the tape sticks to all of the sleeves and top loaders making it not easy. then they seal them with clear tape, the worst. this packaging looks easier to open. For those labels you use to affix the top loader to the packing list, do they stick or do they peel off cleanly like painters tape would? My preference, blue painters tape if something is going to be taped poorly.

    • @GameVitamins

    10 - 12 cents per printed page? Lol sounds like you really need to invest in a much more efficient laser printer.
    You're right everything looks clean and very professional. I've watched a lot of the youtube videos on packing cards and I don't understand why no one is talking about just printing the address directly onto the envelope. I'll admit it doesn't look as clean as a nice thermal printer label but when packing lots of orders it does save a lot of time not having to put labels onto the envelope plus saves you a couple of cents on the label. Lots of programs can take the shipping CSV directly from TCGPlayer and use those to print all of the labels directly onto the envelopes.

    • @GameVitamins
      @GameVitamins  17 дней назад

      The only downside with printing directly onto the envelopes, at least for my situation, is that it doesn't alleviate the need for a packing slip, so I'd then need to print a slip anyway, or still do a thermal label. And yes the printed page cost I got was based off of the printer and ink calculations for the one I have -- so this may be better for other printers, I can't speak to others. Anyway, for the time being I'll keep rolling with this, but there might be other options to explore down the line! Thanks for checking it out

      ​@@GameVitamins I'd love to see that analysis.
      I have thousands of cards, but it just doesn't feel like a reasonable return on my time to sell them.
      If I assume that I could list, pick & pack a card in 2 minutes, the upperbound would be 30 cards per hour.
      And this rates assumes that the buyer is already getting a more valuable card so there's effectively a zero time cost for addressing the envelope.
      This means any card I sold under $0.50 would be less than $15 per hour which is less than McDonalds pays in my local area.
      For reference, I am a Harvard grad who has been a VP at two different companies before retiring.
      My goal hourly rate is a tad higher than what I could earn working at McDonalds.
      It would be quite interesting if you track this from the beginning and then measure how it grows overtime as your systems get more efficient.

      So with large orders I figure it's going to be a bit of a wash.. just packed up a large order like that this morning. I put all the cards into penny sleeves, then distribute across a couple team bags. Then I'll use my labels to attach them to the packing slip and put them all in a bubble mailer. Then I'll put the bubble mailer in the larger envelopes I mentioned. I use the first-class mail option for large envelopes which starts at $1.50 based on weight and does not have tracking. Just packed up 30 cards that way this morning and it came to $2.04. It's not the cheapest, but it looks very professional and those really large card orders with low dollar value are far and few between for me, so I still want them to look good!

    So you aren’t including a printed packing slip in all orders? Instead the smaller one printed on 4x6? Nowadays the packing slip has the address printed directly to fit inside a window envelope so you have no waste with any thermal printing an address (I used to print addresses on smaller thermal then adhesive onto envelope). The security window envelopes are not expensive and you save all the time creating envelopes with their new way of printing the address right where it needs to be

I can't argue that they are set up to be pretty bulletproof though -- I just prefer the look. But as I always say, everyone has the methods that work for them!

    Where do you get the blank white labels? I have only been able to find the sheets on Amazon.

    Great content, sorry if I missed it, but are you paying for shipping or would the customer?

    • @GameVitamins
      @GameVitamins  Месяц назад

      I charge the customer for shipping -- since I'm level 4 on TCGPlayer I can have shipping be included on orders of $5 or more which I've played around with and then adjusted my prices up to try to recapture the shipping cost. Depends on your preference though!

    Is there a way to do this without tcg player i live in Canada tcg allows me to buy not sell.

      Hmmm in Canada I'm not entirely sure on the selling side. eBay certainly has a share of the singles market as well so I'd say that'd be a place to start.

    Where do you go to get the $1.50 UPS letter rate? Checking Pirateship it does not have it available, or I am missing something

    • @GameVitamins
      @GameVitamins  Месяц назад +1

      I use stamps.com so I'm not sure about Pirateship, but it's USPS first class mail. I go under the 4x6 roll option, then select FCM Large Envelope. It's longer in one dimension category so it qualifies. It does go up with weight, but it's still cheaper than tracking if it's a low value order!

    Thank you for this awesome video, I found it very useful. Not sure if it would be of benefit, but I put up a video this morning on how I was able to convert my tcgplayer packing slips to more conventional 4x6 labels for the thermal printer here: ruclips.net/video/SQtTVWwMPws/видео.html

      A few people have commented about that, so I'm sure it will be helpful! I probably should've covered that in this one, but didn't want to get too into the weeds. Thanks for checking it out and making something to explain it!

    I’ve done thousands of orders an I have never used a non-machinable stamp. I just follow Rob‘s methods and I haven’t had a problem in a couple years now. You can even put up to 51 cards in a PWE with no problem

      And people dont realize after 7 cards you don’t need a toploader. Toploaders are for rigidity not protection. Penny sleeves into a team bag folded over and you are good. Also don’t forget to affix the cards to the middle of the packing slip. The cards can’t move from side to side or else they will screw up the sorter as it grabs the edge of the envelope.
