im starting my scrunchie business soon, and im from australia. i dont know much about mail/shipping prices. any advice on how to get cheap shipping price?
wolfieangie hi! You can ship with two stamps in Australia ($2.20 in total) but that doesn’t have tracking. The items need to be under 20mm and the weight needs to be under around 100grams I think! (Otherwise it’s 3 stamps and so on) then auspost also offers tracked envelopes now! They are around $5 for the medium size and I can fit around 3 scrunchies in those and there’s a bigger size for maybe $6.50ish and they can fit so many! Hope this helps :)
wolfieangie you could! They just need to be thinner than 2cm to qualify as an envelope. And the weight will determine how many stamps but I can usually fit 6 before I need to add another stamp :)
start with one or two yard on each fabric, and do a couple of different fabrics. My daughter started with a small amount. Then invest the money you make back in your shop. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
*Can you pls make a video on shipping, packages and cost here in Australia.* Im struggling to know how to save money because shipping the packages just seem expensive
I started my erty shop for Scrunchies a week ago and still no orders im so frustrated. I only charge 1.75 but i cant offer free shipping because it would make the price go up.
Awww I hope your business grows and you'll get customers soon dont worry! And I can relate on not offering free shipping even though I haven't started selling but I'll open one store soon
Have you tried selling the scrunchies in bundles, or sets ? List it like maybe 3 for $10 or 4 for $10.97 with free shipping. Play with the prices, keep us posted when you get a sale. @Queen Kay
Nerida thanks :) thats a good idea. It cost so little to make them because i work at a craft and fabric store so i get 30% off on top of sales ans discounts but like shipping is like 8$ so id be not even making a profit if i sold them individually with free shipping but maybe a bundle might be better. I also just added a new item infinity scarfs! I have had 3 sales so far 2 for scrunchies and one for a scarf because those are 20$ with free shipping. But luckily some of my friends i went to school with were kind enough to order from me 🥰 i of course made special thank you cards for each.
Rood Beotch its definitely difficult because i want to offer free shipping because i know that it sells better if it has it, but it would eat majorly into my profit if i did with selling them one by one
hey Taylah! I'm starting my scrunchie business soon I'm so nervous about it for I'm kinda confused about what I should be using for my shipping, I mean few use barcodes while others use bills so I'm not sure what I should be doing for that, cause I'm not even familiar with barcodes, therefore, I was planning on making simple bills will that effect the business? And any other advice for me?
hello, love your video. I am in the process of making and selling my own scrunchie as well. I'm looking for a website to sell them on. do you sell on Spotify and if so did you set your price.
Hi Zoe! For Etsy I print the packing slips through the ‘orders’ tab. I print 4 to a page to save paper and I also print with the setting ‘draft copy’ instead of ‘fine printing’ to save ink and time as well for both Shopify and Etsy orders. For Shopify you need an app (add on) I use quick print or simple invoice depending on how many orders I have but there’s other out there. They can cost money however. I have used aveda in the past and I didn’t really like the style of the slips. I do love simple invoice and they are free up to a certain quantity of orders printed. However when I have a lot of orders to complete I purchase quick print for the month because it’s easier to keep track of orders already printed and has a feature where you can also print out pick lists (a list of all the items purchased) I hope this helps! :)
Hi Phoenix! I get all my velvets from spotlight but I have been collecting and stashing for a few years so certain colours and styles may not be available anymore :)
Hey I do! But it’s pretty expensive atm as I can’t send in letters (Australia post has closed non document international letters) its $20 aud for a tracked parcel x

@@TaylahRose does it have to be a cardboard mailer, can i use poly mailers then add stamp?
wolfieangie you could! They just need to be thinner than 2cm to qualify as an envelope. And the weight will determine how many stamps but I can usually fit 6 before I need to add another stamp :)
@@TaylahRose can it be any stamp?
Hello!! 10:45 so big package for one scrunchie??!!!!🥰😍🤩
I never thought to paint my cardboards! I should just let my kiddos go nuts😂
It’s such a great idea and so effective!
Are your cardboard mailers your “parcel” shipping option or the “envelope” one? 🤔
Fiorella Gamero they are my envelope option! :)
I love watching your tutorials Taylah
LOVE sewing and watching your videos
Just subscribed! Loved the video and cute scrunchies! I love making scrunchies too!
love watching packing videos
They have biodegradable bags you can now purchase
I want to start a scrunchie business and live in Canada but don’t know how much fabric to get.
start with one or two yard on each fabric, and do a couple of different fabrics. My daughter started with a small amount. Then invest the money you make back in your shop. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Hi! Ild love to I’ll put this on my list of videos to do 🥰 thank you
My local post office people were very helpful explaining it all to me. Also there's a lot of information on the auspost website
I’ve been looking for those mailer boxes but I don’t know what they’re called! Can you help?
Hi Suraiya!
They are flat pack mailers (envelope mailers) I purchase mine from ebpak (ebpackaging) they have both an eBay and a website in Australia 😀
Poly mailers here in Canada are measured LxWxH and weight. Costs so much money to mail its crazy. Same price as a parcel
Hi ma'am. How can I package my scrunchies for a Christmas craft fair

Hi Tayha,
I'm about to start my clothing business in Australia. I don't know much about mail/shipping prices can you guide me?
For the thick velvet scrunchies where do you get the velvet from? Xx
Hi Phoenix! I get all my velvets from spotlight but I have been collecting and stashing for a few years so certain colours and styles may not be available anymore :)
Madebytaylahrose thank you! I’ve got a small scrunchie biz and I’m so sad, so many velvets have been discontinued 😭😭 xx
Btw how much are the cardboard mailers and where do u get them?
I can’t quite remember the cost but was less than a $1 each and from eBay! (Eb packaging)
5.25 where did you get the pocket from for the fold over elastic bands
Deja Monroe I bought these in packs of 10 from Kmart about 2 years ago!! But I’m not sure if they sell them anymore :)
Madebytaylahrose I found it on Amazon can you do a tutorial on your Pom Pom bows and scrunchies
What Facebook groups are you a part of? Interested to join!
What size is the box @ 10:59 and where did you get it?
