I found you by chance after months of watching crazy videos on stuff I simply don’t understand. You are calm and explain things well and have inspired me to push forward thank you
I’m that person that’s starting from scratch. This vid is really helpful bc I don’t have the money to start buying all the fancy packaging stuff… will keep you posted on my journey. Watch this space 🤜🏾🤛🏾 And yes, I did like the video. That was so funny btw 😅😅😅 “just like, I’ve done it, it’s now out of the way … lol” You’re a comedian Zain!
12:47 There is a Hermes sorting centre just 10 min away from my address. I already worked in there and so this is eyewitnessing. And all I can say about them: if you have a customer you really hate, or if you want to run your business into bankruptsy, then feel free to use hermes. The way they treat parcels and packages is really scary. If a parcel falls down from the conveyor, it make take hours and hours until someone feels motivated to pick it up.
Although I agree with you, I have a lot of stuff around the house to sell and hand writing addresses and using lots and lots of cellotape/bags/old boxes is becoming a pain, so I am going to splash out on self sticking labels etc and some nice printers. Another thing I have noticed from venturing onto ebay is that the customer likes a well packaged product, so a little investment up front is perhaps a good thing. I think anything that makes the process a little less painful is worth investing the money in. Plus I have a full time job and every minute counts in the evening. Thanks @Zain Shah for all your free tips on here ❤
Hi zain, great informative video as usual. Question though does it matter that large letters aren't tracked? Do ebay still get notified when they are delivered. How does that work?
I used to have a cheap chinese label printer when I started and when i grew made more money. Zebra 420d awhile ago and worth every penny and saves ton of time.
What do you say .If facial mask in a tube .Bubble packing is better or its expansive.How i can post which packing is better for me its cheapest .Thank you
Really important Video Zain bhai please make this again because it’s old and I need new information about postage and sorry to say I’m commenting and requesting you for long and please I need your help in posting the parcel after getting order
Royal Mail is the best. Over 3 years they lost only 2 small value parcels. Which is a great result. Most of the items are shipped in only one day (second class). Sometimes even the next day. For over 2KG parcels I use Yodel. Hermes (EVRi now) is big no no. It's the most painful part when it comes to the thickness of the item. For the large letter at the moment, it cost £1.15 and for the small parcel, it cost £2.99. It's like 3 times difference. The max thickness of a large letter is 25mm. I had lightweight items a little bit over 25mm in thickness and needed to pay 2.99. It's just not right from Royal Mail. They should introduce some midway price and size. I used to crush some items on purpose or take them out of their original packaging just to fit under 25mm size :( (of course you need to notify the buyer somehow). Regarding a printer: Don't splash the cash if you just starting. A simple household printer will do. I bought my HP laser colour printer back in 2010 for only £36 as an ex-display unit. 13 years back. Non-original cartridges cost about £20-30 (4 colours set) and last at least a couple of years (depending on your printing) and do not dry. Regarding the packaging: Ask your local corner shop, they usually have tones of old cardboard boxes piling up, especially on the days of restocking.
You can book a click and drop collection to pick up from home. I do it all the time. 72p on top of the postage. Much easier than lugging stuff to the post office or to a letter box. I get things collected every day and have had 4 trainer boxes collected this week for instance. Saves so much time and messing around.
@@katherineh7381 Hiya.. Yep, as part of the process you get an email when it's collected which is your proof of posting. For 72p per item it's been a game changer for me. If you choose to physically drop it at a post office, you get a paper receipt, and if you drop it in a click and drop box you get the proof via email when it's scanned at the depot.
Hiya, I was wondering if you could make video on Royal Mail updates 2024, I been using orange signed for stickers and now with new prices it’s so expensive so I want to learn buying postage online, and they have the 24-48 tracked which I want to use, I have a thermal printer but I just don’t know how to purchase online also paper size, do I buy from eBay or from Royal Mail site, the prices are different, I’m looking for video but can’t find one regarding this, thank you:)
How do you set up postage and record and insurance when you post the item on eBay so they know upfront the cost so if items lost I can claim the money back from Royal Mail
I’m just at the end of month 1 testing. £500 turnover just flipping air fryers. Packaging is my biggest issue. I am making my own boxes. I contacted a packing company and I buy stacks of large offcuts for £5. This is time consuming but averages out at 5p a box. Can’t find anywhere that can match that
brother indian resturents throw away lots of boxes every week..just pop in to any indian resturents in your city town..and ask them kindly to keep them you will collect it..rather than the staff ripping it stacking it and throwing it away for bin men..i hope my advice helps
How do you make a listing as I watch a video off yours and you said if I want to see how to do a listing watch this video and I click and it came to this thanks
Hi Zain, I’m a new subscriber to your channel, thank you for your advice. I’ve always charged the customer for shipping, just wondering why you always pay the postage as it cuts into your profit.
salam zain brother i learn alot after watching your videos i am new on ebay seller i dont have thermal lebal printer what if i print the lebal on normal printer in A4 paper and cut the size and tape it on parsel did the post office accept????? am i doing right ???
@@hizainshah the shirt weight is near 200 gram But i want to do pakaging and that am not sure what if i use plastic bags which are 10 10" x 13" then will they come in large letter category?
Hi Zain, great video! When you drop a large letter or small parcel in the red box (after buying click and drop postage) what happens with proof of postage? In case parcel gets lost. Could you please she some light on it. Thank you.
Sufyan, what you should do is to get to know your local post office. They will supply you with lots of information and help, whether that's things like a drop and go bag or a Bulk Certificate Of Postage Document which you can also find online. For items sent 1st or second class as Letters and Large Letters, you should always write the details on that bulk certificate. This makes it easier for the Post Office Cashier who can then simply check, stamp and authorise your proof of postage. 100% the best thing I did when I started E-Commerce properly was to get to know my local post office. They have been very helpful especially in this transition where selling into the EU has been very difficult. Brexit has been a disaster in this regard from small businesses, especially E Commerce. Zain, perhaps you could do some content covering this on your excellent channel.
@@Antonio-Montan thanks a lot for taking your time out and replying so comprehensively. Its really hard to find a decent post office. I'm down to my 6th post office in space of 3 months. There's always a sense of hostility, especially when your buying your postage online. Today they decided to reject my large letters even though they were within the parameters. Baffled me! Is it possible to put click and drop parcels and letters in that grey bag and leave the manifesto with the clerk? Thank you in advance. Sufyan
@@sufyannasir8186 I've never experienced this hostility. One thing to remember is that most Post Offices are now run like a franchise, so if you come across any problems simply request to see the manager or ask the clerk politely to clarify why post is being rejected. It's common that online postage buyers regularly apply the wrong postage costs to their post and in turn this causes alot of extra work and delay to the clerks, so it could be individual clerks have a generally negative view of most E Commerce customers. Drop and Go means precisely that, you drop off all your post with a manifest and bulk proof of postage certificate and they process it for you, keeping you're certificates ready to pick up on your next visit. I then log into my account online and all the details such as tracked items have been updated to my account when processed by the clerk. As I said, I have an excellent relationship with my local Post Office manager, he even texts me if I need to top up and helps with filling in things I forget sometimes like customs stickers.
I got an £80 label printer and it’s serving me well. The only downside is the print quality isn’t great, but I absolutely refuse to get a zebra printer or anything around the same price. It’s ridiculously expensive

Facts!!!! I refuse to buy from any company that delivers with them. Before I purchase, I ask who they deliver with.

Agree, I didn't;t wanted to start with this, as some would prefer to start in budget.
Great job bro and most. Important thing I like about u is ur honest not like other RUclipsr selling courses and much more
Love the approach and pure nuggets of information - thanks
Thanks
Nice vid mate! Only suggestion is adding timestamps for certain topics in the video as it may not all be applicable to someone
So summary is, Royal mail is cheaper for single parcel & hermes for bulk.. Thanks
Great video, thanks for sharing. Subbed!
Are doing a great job sir…👍🏼

Amazing video, Does click and drop give proof of postage. Also will I have to go to the post office to drop them off. Thanks.

Katerine, You can print Manifesto for all order and ask PO to stamp it, POP is useless in my opinion.
@@Win-xl7no Ty for your help, much appreciated.
Would you recommend click and drop for a small seller? And have you done any videos relating to click and drop? cheers fella

Yes, you can drop them in any red box.

Great video thank you for sharing zane. I want to sell lightbulbs .Would it be cheaper to post with Royal Mail or Hermes.
i guess rm 2nd class would be cheaper for those, i don t know the size so you should compare them
@@hizainshah Thank you for your response .
Absolute legend , thank u boss
Hi Zain, I’m a new subscriber to your channel, thank you for your advice. I’ve always charged the customer for shipping, just wondering why you always pay the postage as it cuts into your profit.
Add postage cost in the item cost, price will go up, which is okay, buyers love free shipping...
Hi. I have a bag pack to send to my customer. Should I use medium parcel option?
Lavina, I am not sure without looking at the item, You should take to postoffice to be 100% SURE.
Zain bahi please give me some information about how can I get royal mail track 48 service thanks
it's on business account, check rm website and fill the form to get business account
where is the locations of these Red Boxes? are they inside the post office or outside?
they are everywhere in uk
It's is easy and recommend to do dropshipping from other country or It will hard or easy?
Nothing is easy as taking hair out of butter and I will always suggest job over business even at small scale, just because of freedom
How much less can we get currently for royal mail large letter ex vat price?
Prices depends on volume and everyone have different price you should apply for business account and get quotation for you
what is "signed for" and "non signed for" parcel? whats the difference? does one cost higher than the other?
there is no need to to have parcel postage sign for as every parcel comes with delivery as standard.

Is the process the same for very big and heavy items?
yes, I suggest using Parcel to go, I shared link in description Sameer.
Hermes/evri say on their site not to use bin bags. Possibly that's new?
Could be, if you use enough tape I don’t see what’s wrong
Can I post t shirts in letter box ?
as long as you can fit them you can just throw in letter box
