USPS takes all my SmartPost boxes, they don’t care, they want the volume/credit. it gets scanned the same amount as any USPS item. it can be slow going far from your location, but it’s the same speed as parcel. sometimes it’s as fast as Priority, it’s random. but your customers should know that it will be slower (and cheaper), so you can give them a choice of SmartPost or Priority. my customers 99% of the time choose Smartpost for the cheapest rate.
as far as insurance is concerned, i just insure anything that needs it through Shipsaver, which is an app you can activate through ebay
https://apps.ebay.com/selling?appId=insurance.inkfrog.comyeah i signed up for a business account on fedex.com a couple years ago and have never been charged for a pick up for ground (that’s the only way i ship with them).
someone pointed out that some sellers (maybe only anchors right now?) can promote any item, not just quantity items. i tried it on our main store last night and was able to promote any listing on my store.
when this happened to me, i had both customers ship to each other and i reimbursed them when they told me how much it was.
we have galvanized drain pipes in the tub at the farmhouse rental so it drains slow every few weeks. what we do is cover the overflow w/ a wet rag and a plastic bag stuffed in there to create suction. full the tub up a couple inches, then we use a plunger to plunge the drain. this helps break up the gunk and move the water along. might be good to do before you sell, not that anyone is going to test the tub drain.
we always just say “sorry we don’t break up lots”. and as jay said, sometimes we say “we’re happy to send you just that item for the full price of the lot”. i think we’ve even had a couple people do that too.
ash Christine Baskets would say “is that a pixar film? ohhh”.
