So now I ship only using boxes that are preweighed with shipping and bubble wrap inside and not calculated until zip code is put in. It takes time to do, but worth it and has made a huge difference. And yes I would buy in bulk.

I...I would definitely at least give it a try, Judy. I have a lot of pretty things, too from all the years of thrifting and antiquing, but you are right, shipping is so expensive now. I have been bringing my things to an antique consignment shop instead. They pay me 50% cash right then and there. The only downside - some of my things they don't want. Then I am stuck with them. I don't want to do eBay either, so I'm still wondering about what to do, too.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140606507333247280.post-3741431535603439972015-06-24T13:23:07.235-05:002015-06-24T13:23:07.235-05:00I have lots I would love to sell too.

You should be charging more for shipping and not eating the cost. If I am shopping and I see something I really want, I am willing to pay a bit more for shipping to get it. Or, you could give your buyers an option to combine items for shipping. I would check around and see what other vendors are doing.<br /><br />Big Texas Hugs,<br />Susan and BentleySusan Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323206599839838089noreply@blogger.com
