Please make video of wrapping the picture. ❤️
Yes please to the picture frame video! Do you ever pack even larger items like lamps?
Yes, I would like to see a video on wrapping a picture frame! Thanks in advance!
Nice video Don! Scary how similar we are.
Prime Time Treasure Hunter☝️ great minds think alike.
Don't be scared Dom! LOL! Thank you good sir!
The Auction Professor it’s s good scared! Lol
Imagine trying to open that package :)
They love it. Never had an issue. Most people are so impressed with the care I took to wrap their item that they leave stellar feedback, and many times even send me a personal thank you note.
I got negative feedback that said, the item was perfect but the package was too hard to open. What!?! I emailed them and asked if they would prefer that I wrap it lightly and it arrived broken. They decided to change the feedback!
New carpet padding remnants from carpet store dumpsters is great for packing.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for this great video, Don. Really helpful to watch you build boxes. YES, I would LOVE to see the video on packing the large frame with glass. Most definitely!
Same on that video being made, be useful even to those not reselling, as people always gifting others art, and seems to have the glass break in transit.
That's what you call professional packing and quite satisfying to watch. Not sure I would like to unwrap it though.
Nice to see that I am not the only one making custom boxes. I have made hundreds of them. I have a general template in my head and plenty of large sheets of cardboard. Once you make a few it becomes easy. I can whip some out in less than 5 minutes. Then.... there as are others that require special attention. One thing I do that helps tremendously, is when I score for a bend, I use a yard stick to run my tool along for a crisp straight edge. I also pay special attention to making it as easy as possible for the recipient to open without damaging the item. We sometimes put special opening or caution instructions on the box. Another tip is to try to keep the box under 1728 cubic inches whenever possible.
I actually like making boxes. It's sort of creative in a way. Yes it becomes second nature. I have the whole thing planned out in my head before I list it even. I have a metal yard stick I use as well. I don't worry so much about crisp corners any more. If they are bulged and un-even it makes it harder for the Post Office to stack heavy items on top of the box. We used to have a small direction paper thing for some of our packages, but don't mess much with it these days. Our buyers love the care that we take to wrap their items, and to many it's like opening up a Christmas present. I don't worry so much about the size as we use UPS, FedEx, Airborne, and the PO. So the larger ones we mostly send via UPS for some locations, and Fedex for others. We have a business account with them, and a discount rate so it's very reasonable for even the larger items. We charge for shipping as well so either way it doesn't affect our bottom line.
Definitely would like to see you wrap a larger picture!
I would like to see how you pack large framed art.
Thanks for the feedback!
glad to see others making their own boxes ,, just packed a Kittys Critters frog with my own box,, bought a group 9 critters $42.00 sold one today for $125.00,, thx E-bay
Yes please for a video of packing a frame with glass. Thanks!
Sending out a large Opus 7 1956 stereo tomorrow and already got 2 messages from buyer requesting I pack it safely which just added to my stress about shipping. Thanks for your videos.
Hi Don. I would be very interested in seeing a video on wrapping the picture frame. Thanks so much.
You're awesome!!! Glad I found your channel.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes! Please make a video on wrapping framed artwork under glass. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback!
I learn so much from your videos, even though i'm mostly a buyer
Don, you are a born teacher
Thank you very so much for not “speeding it up” to save time. I love watching exactly how you do it! I do ship some fragile things and always afraid of breakage! This vid helped me a lot! Also would love to see vid on wrapping the picture! Not enough people put thought into wrapping properly! They worry about the sale and the profit but not the proper shipping!
Yes want to see how to ship large pictures and mirrors.
I would like to see how to ship a large frame with glass. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us.
Thanks for the feedback!
I appreciated the video you did on "how to wrap a large fragile piece of glass." Thank you so much and yes please show how you would wrap a picture frame. I have been watching your shows for the past couple of months now and I have benefited greatly from the wisdom you so graciously share. I'm taking baby steps into this new adventure and you are helping me not to stumble (so much)...again, Thank you so much!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad to have you!
Would love to see the picture frame video. I am far too lazy to ship this way. I wrap my item well, then put it in a box that gives me extra 1-3 inches all the way around and pack it with peanuts on bottom, sides, and top. So far I haven't spent over 15 dollars to ship an item (buyer pays). If it's really large I usually ship FedEx. So far no broken items. Thanks for the tips though! If I ever run out of peanuts this will definitely be a nice alternative.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes. I would like to see you wrap a large item. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
Would love to see large picture frame packing!
I’m glad I’m not the only one eating tape for breakfast.... btw, I use knife for cardboard cutting also, a bread knife do a beautiful clean job.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes please would love to see picture frame and glass.
Also collectable plates as well would be great thanks
Thanks for the feedback!
I’ve have found a bunch of the styrofoam and bubble wrap material in dumpsters behind a Pier 1 store and a furniture store. Free shipping materials is always a plus. Yes I want to see how you wrap picture frames.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks So Far! I Started To Think About how Handy Your Tape Dispenser was- and Of Coarse You Started to Comment on It! lol Well Im Convinced - I am so getting one of those!
So Thanks Again for yet Another Awesome Video! 👍😉🇨🇦
I watched your video yesterday because I needed to make a box today and After following your process, I have created a perfect box. It’s drastically cut down on my shipping cost, and the sense of pride I feel over the accomplishment is fantastic! Thank you for your guidance via this video. I’m following in your footsteps of collecting and reselling and I enjoy it more than I realized I would. Even the packing has it’s joy. :) Happy New Year!
I liked this video and would like to see how you do larger items! I don't purchase the larger items due to that reason. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH US! God Bless you and yours....
I'm always interested it seeing things packed. Everybody does it a little different and there is something to learn every time. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback!
Please make a video on shipping large picture frames. Thank you
I enjoyed watching you do this. I thought I was struggling when doing similar packing, but if a professional like you struggles too, I’m on the right track! Thank you! 💕
Television boxes are great also, if you turn them inside out.
Hi, from Miami Florida. Great video very informative. I really need one of those tape dispensers. Thank you for your videos.
What a great video! I have a huge antique, very ornate porcelain clock to ship. Your method looks good and I'll try it. Wish me luck, and thank you for sharing. 😊
You are a great guy.. I can't get over all the stuff u share.. thank u..
I’ve also been using the cellophane as a first layer for years for just about all items and swear by it. I buy a large box of it from restaurant supply, 2000’ of food service film.
Yes please on the picture frame. I just bought a few old gesso frames and this would be the perfect time to watch an expert do it, as I have only shipped 1 frame with glass before. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for the feedback!
It certainly looks bullet proof!
I’m looking forward to watching you wrap the large picture frame.
I would love to see a video of how you pack a picture frame . Thanks for sharing,
Thanks for the feedback!
Very helpful tips. Thanks for sharing. Would also like to see the picture being wrapped.
Thanks for the feedback!
I do the same with two additions, one I wrap the final with the same moving wrap to act as tape and also really tightens the box, that and after 9 years full time I just switched to 3 inch tape last week and ya it changed my life. 3rd....clicking the link for the table tape dispenser LOL, Thanks
We've had the 3" tape for a few years. It comes in handy for sure, but I was just a bit lazy, and didn't really want to open a new box of tape.
Thank you! I have lots of antique dishes to sell and I'm a little intimidated about selling sets of dishes.
Great Job wrapping. We used to have a store and sometimes we would get pkgs and the only thing holding a box together was the tape on the outside of the box. They can get really damaged.
Love this video. Please a video for picture frames.
Thanks for the feedback!
You are a great resource for info and help. Thanks! (And yes on picture frames!)
Yes, we would love to see a picture frame prepped for shipping. We have been holding on to 6 vintage framed prints because we are afraid of damage during shipment. Thank you! We are loyal fans who have subscribed and told many friends!
Thanks for the feedback!
By far top notch info. This is like industry insider knowledge, of years of experience. I would definitely love to see you do a framed oil painting. Thanks.
Great and thanks! You certainly are fast. I love the tape dispenser also. Thanks for the link.
Hahaaaa: hands of a ‘sturgeon’ cutting the box....great vid....Brought back memories of a Calculus problem....optimizing volume....all ya’ need is a sharp knife & a good roll o’ tape🙂
Would love to see video. Also vintage receiver and Turntable. Thank you
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video - your instructional shipping and packing videos are a great help to me when it comes to shipping out items I sell. I personally would love to see a video on wrapping & shipping a large picture frame. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom it really helps those of us trying to expand our business.
I would do it just like you do, but I always want to see what others are doing to improve my methods. Thanks for the video.
Yes video of picture frame
Nicely done I'm sure it arrived safely. Yes please do the picture\art boxing thank you
Thanks for the feedback!
I pack similar to you- my hubby laughs because he can hear the tape- he says I know you've gotten a lot of sales if the tape keeps going for awhile!! Great job here! I use pool noodle or pipe insulation for the edges which I have found I can eliminate the double box if I do this. But that all depends on what I've got on hand at the time LOL
Excellent information, as usual. Very helpful.
Thanks
This was so informative. Please make a video showing the largest item you will ship.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hello yes make a video teaching us how to wrap a picture frame. I have held back
Selling frames because I do not want it to break.
Th a no you
Don, I'd love to see how your wrap picture frames. Thank you for this content!
Thanks for the feedback!
I'd like to see how you wrap a picture/frame.
Thanks for the feedback!
That looks strong. I don't know if you ever got feedback from buyers having a hard time opening the package. I think we get up against many issues when we are dealing with buyers that are dishonest. Did it ever occur to anyone that AI can make photos of something broken but it's not and they ask for money back?
Great video, thanks, Don.
Thanks for the feedback!
I also make my own boxes, saves money if I do Free Shipping or Cubic Priority, plus it avoids having to do void fill. I do however use box resizers, perforator wheels, and box cutters rather than a big 'ol Bowie knife, but it all works out the same in the end I suppose. So long as it gets there in one piece is all that matters. Cheers!
It's a dull steak knife. As I've said no razors are used here. So much safer to use a knife. No damage to the counters, clothing, or hands this way. Never had an issue in more than 10 years of doing it this way. It's also far easier to control a steak knife than a box cuter also.
wow, thanks
I was always yaught that the bubbles should face the item being protected as it gives more cushion and more protection - less chance of individual. Bubbles or whole sections/strips of bubbles getting popped.
In this case that wouldn't make sense as we don't wrap it around the item directly. The foam is the protecting part, and the bubble wrap is the buffer between layers. For the most part it doesn't matter which way they go on most items. On a few it may make more sense to put them in or even out. Foam padding is far more protective then the bubble wrap as well.
Would love the picture frame video. I have a really big framed print that I think would do well on Ebay but i am a bit intimidated to ship it.
Thanks for the feedback!
Another excellent how to video. YES! Please do the glass picture frame video. I have been reluctant to sell framed pictures, but your videos make the idea less daunting.
I am also going to think about how to apply this box making technique to pacing some large porcelain dolls I want to sell.
Thanks for the feedback!
I love you're video s so informative
Great stuff
Would like to see you ship the frame
I also vote for a tutorial on packing large frames with glass!!!!!
I did shipping and inventory in an electronics manufacturing company and saw one or two teeny tiny parts shipped in big boxes with lots of pink electrostatic safe bubble wrap. I learned that you never can be too careful which has served me well but I overdo it and need to pack smart. Ups workers do stand on boxes.
We should have a contest to count how many times you say "literally" in a video. Prize could be an original recipe discontinued butterfingers candy bar!😂😂😂😂😂😢
Thanks for the response!
Thank you for the great content. I would love to see the picture frame video! I just picked an unusual shaped vintage framed picture and could use the help for when it sells. Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback!
