I ship all my shoes in clear plastic bag . It also helps In case somehow your package is in left out in the rain like our carrier does and there’s no water damage . If they’re over $50 or have any details that could get ruined from rubbing up against each other I put one shoe in each bag .

This was awesome! I am just getting started and came across some great brand new high end brands that do well on eBay yesterday. I am a bit overwhelmed on how to get started. This helps so much! I will be sure to use the affiliate links. Thank you!

Great video! I haven't started sourcing and/or selling shoes yet, but this is most helpful. No free boxes for us Canadians (thanks Canada Post) but still these tips are really useful!

Thank you for the info. You are always teaching me something new!

This is a great shipping video.

I learned so much! Wow! As a side note for Padded Flat Rate envelopes or mailers for shoes going 1st class, put the label on first. It can be difficult to put the label on afterwards and have it be flat & easy to scan. Keep rocking Daltonius & Carylee!

Thank you so much this is the best video ever. I’ve watched other videos and I still didn’t understand.

Just today I picked up some shoes and i was thinking I wish I could mail these in a padded flat rate envelope. Well I guess I can! Thanks!

AND reinforce the longer medium flat rate box with tape at the top, where the seam is, tape that all the way around, and squeeze boots in there! As long as they fit and you can close the box, you're golden (over 4 pounds, boots etc). Without reinforcing with tape, the seam pops. Tape it first, so good.

Thank you!

I'm trying to learn shoes from you. I have actually been buying more shoes now, one being a pair of toddler Acme boots that are new. I paid 3.99. If I looked up proper comps, I think they sell for over 300.00. Crazy! I also picked up there pairs of Hoka one ones at Goodwill for 7.99 each. Thanks again. I'm usually a hard good seller but still learning and trying to expand my knowledge from the great resellers like you. PS: I'm planning on buying something from Carley, so I can leave a bad review. ;) JK Carley

Thank you so much for this helpful video! Are you doing free shipping or are you charging the customer on eBay? If you are charging the customer, are you charging the calculated rate or a flat rate?

I would also add a little paper inside the shoe in case the postman gets rowdy.

I just had to modify a 1095 for the first time thanks. It doesn't look great but it works with a lot of tape. Next time I'm sure it will look better.

Remember, you don’t need to actually cut the box, more so just putting an indent in the cardboard so it has a line to fold on

Can you make a video on how to store used shoes before selling?

I always include a thank you note with 20% discount card /note off their next purchase on eBay

I may have missed it in a previous video, but I have been comparing shipping prices and the prices I see people use for shipping are a lot lower then what it shows on the ebay calculator for shipping. Is there a different way or is it just taking the shipping hit? Between the supplies and say a $4 overage in shipping thats a bite out of the return. Also you've been SO informative, Thank you!

I tape all my nib boxes shoes on both sides and then throw them in a decorative poli bag to fit accordingly and slap a label on them, haven't had a complaint yet. Cutting the USPS boxes is too much work for my liking.

Great video - is there a cheaper way to ship shoe with boxes for lower profit. seen USPS Ground advantage is out.

Can we use the priority mail shoe boxes with calculated shipping on eBay (usps ground advantage)?

Do you offer free shipping or do you use the label from the app. I use Mercari just curious? Also, how much is shipping cost if I use the first box you showed for shoes?

I have a pair of tall faux leather boots that can fold over I think they can fit in a padded flat rate, should I go for it? ETA: they have high heels and they sold for under $15

Where do I get the boxes free how I order or where I can pick up

put your shipping label on the padded flat rate envelope BEFORE you put the shoes in (making sure the shoes will fit) AND the envelopes USED TO BE more stretchy; i can't stretch a size 9 mens in there anymore, no more stretchy stretchy :(

So can I use the USPS shoe box to ship on Poshmark or do I have to use a medium or large flat rate box?

Where do you get your packing paper?

Are you weighing the box and shoes when you left the item and then if you find someone buys a pair of heavy shoes that are like 3# and you had it in a box priority to ship and they live on other side of US like California do you automatically put it in a flat rate envelope and adjust price? I’m not understanding all the listing and shipping parts. I’m still trying to learn it all.

I have some hiking boots in their original box I would like to try to sell, can I just bubble wrap the shoe box and send in a poly mailer?

Hi, I am new in this business.. I am confused, can I use USPS show box on poshmark? And for ebay same box for shoe, is it Priority Mail? And how much is shiping cost? Thank you

I do flat rate. My tiers are 6.99 9.99 & 14.99

Great video, thanks for all this awesome info. However, you said that shipping USPS Flat Rate is often going to be more expensive than shipping regular Priority since our shoes are only going to weigh 2 to 3 pounds. But when I calculate a price based on a 3lb box it comes out to $22.45, whereas the Medium Flat Rate comes out to $17 and change. What am I missing here? I have a pair of women's combat boots that weigh 2lbs 3ozs and with the box, it comes out to 2lbs 9oz but no matter what when I calculate a price on USPS I get the same $22.45 price to ship them. They would fit a minimum of 3.5" x 12" x 7.5" box. Am I missing something? Is $17 Medium Flat Rate Priority really the cheapest option to ship these shoes?

​@Maximus Silver Stacker fed ex ground is cheaper, however, finding a box or buying a box to ship the shoes will add extra cost wouldn't it. If using the free usps boxes, you just pay a little extra for shipping but will already have a box available.🤔
