It has been a few weeks since I've blogged. But I have been extremely busy trying to focus on being productive and getting things done accordingly. I am also still putting together my wardrobe for this contest for the Salvation Army which ends January 31st. If you didn't read in my previous blog, my local SA is having a best dress contest in SA attire and the winner will receive a $100 store credit. They will be choosing two winners. Keep your fingers crossed I pull it all off and win the $100 store credit.
Okay enough of all that jabber let me get right down to it. I have been asked about how I package clothing and what packing supplies do I use to ship them out.
I place all me clothing in clear shirt bags, which can be ordered from Ebay
My Options........
Polymailer Bag* the highest cost for shipping is $4.12=13ounces
If the item weighs 13oz or less I will ship in a polymailer bag.
Anything over 13 ounces. Cost $4.95 Ebay shipping discount
You can order these for free from USPS.com
Anything over 13 ounces. Cost $5.35 Ebay Shipping discount
You can order these for free from USPS.com
I only use this style mailing envelope when the item or items will not fit in the other two envelopes. Usually I can put a blazer or jacket inside this style envelope. These are not flat rate envelopes and the cost is based upon weight and region. FYI it is costly to ship to the California region so think smart when shipping. Be cost effective!
I am sure there are other methods but so far this is what works for me.
What I sourced and paid for it!
Mix Nouveau Skirt $1.49
Beautiful Beaded Jacket $1
Judith Ann Jacket $1.98
Marc Jacobs Silk Blouse $1.49
Rubber Rain Boots $2.49
Nana Trading by Dr Martens, Made in England
These were sitting in one of my totes can't remember how much I paid but it was less than $3.75
Ennesi Men's Boots $2.49
Made in Italy
Nine West Ladies Boots $5.00
Made in Brazil
I will be sharing soon my recent sales....
Happy Thrifting~
Oh, I really love those sequined jackets. Beautiful. And the blouse is very pretty. For resale, I typically buy at goodwill as I am overwhelmed at the SA, so much stuff to go through. But when shopping for our family, SA is where I will go as their prices are so much better. Good luck on winning the contest!

ReplyDeleteDo you mind if I ask you how your pictures look so amazing? What do you use as your background and lighting?
ReplyDeleteHello, my apologies I am just seeing this question. I used a plain blue poster board and I have a white wall in my house for the clothing.
