Wow, I just ordered my shipping supplies.
Two good things happened.
1. The coupon code showed up in my checkout without me having to copy and paste. I just checked the box to have it applied.
2. I was able to pay with Paypal from my balance.. Previously I had to enter a credit card to pay through managed payments.
$4.59 out of my pocket for 75 (10 X 8 X 6) boxes is a pretty good deal to me.
Happy Friday to all.
Reno is sure a cool place to live, but Oh Boy! with Tesla moving in the real estate has really gone up, as well as the traffic.
People that bought 5 years ago are really sitting pretty.
With existing inventory, it’s best to do it one bin (container) at a time. Once the bin is changed on the computer, you can label it and forget about it.
This method makes it easy to do it in stages. It also can be busy work for your helper, when things get slow. You can just pull a bin, give it a location and have your helper do the computer work.
Once it’s all inventoried, you can use the bin location on the computer to do reverse searches, to see how much is in each storage bin etc.
Sounds like fun to me…
In my experience, when you send an offer on an item that was not listed with “best offer” on it, the sold price will show the original listed price.
I’m guessing we get about $35 worth of supplies for each $50 coupon plus tax, $4 or so.
That’s worth it to me. I’ve never considered the $50 real money. The supplies do make my life easier.
I keep waiting for the Ebay bean counters to end the coupon, so until they do, I’m stocking up.
Yes, I agree. In the listing, they use language such as “quick shipping” and “next day shipping”. The reality is that they are only obligated to get the item to me by the stated delivery date.
When dealing with these sellers, I’ll need to be more realistic with my expectations. Unfortunately, there is no way to filter them out of the search, or to even filter out sellers with less than a 99% feedback rating.
Thanks
I agree, but these items are located in the USA. I only search for items in the USA, close to my location. The seller ID is often from China.
I could get a lot of the items for 1/2 price if I was willing to buy overseas and wait.
This may be one of those situations where technically, they are right, but I choose to shop elsewhere just the same.
Thanks again.. Happy 4th..
The shipping delivery date was out there. It may have been July 8. however with standard shipping, many times there are big windows for the estimated time.. 2 to 6 business days etc.
They state in the listing, that they ship the next day. Technically, I suppose that I cannot make a formal complaint for late shipping, if it arrives before July 8. They did produce a tracking number on the next business day.
It takes a lot for me to give a negative feedback. If it arrives late, I think the worst I’ll give is a neutral. Regardless of the feedback I give, it will just make me hesitant to buy these types of items on Ebay in the future.
Thanks for the input.
I totally agree on gambling for a very cheap item. There’s always a risk.
It’s just so disappointing when a best match is a sponsored item, from a large seller with 97% feedback who manipulates item location.
My most recent item was purchased on 6/29 with a tracking number entered 07/01 and so far no tracking updates.
Ebay is performing a disservice to the platform, by chasing these short term profits in exchange for consumer confidence.
I haven’t had much luck, using the search function Mike, even when looking for posts that I know exist.
Is there a way to just search titles, otherwise, I seem to get each and every post that the search term shows up in.
Thanks
8 X 6 X 4 inch Ebay Box.. It works for most trucker hats.
First I put the hat in a clear plastic bag.
It really wouldn’t be that big a deal.. The carnivals and trade shows do it all the time.
Yes shelving would have to be built. Yes you would have to secure the containers with straps or load bars, so the containers wouldn’t shift. It would have to be done with a plan.
You may want need to leave an aisle in the middle for access, but can fill it up with stuff while travelling and empty that section after reaching your destination.
The key to making it a success is to drive correctly. Don’t make any sudden moves, stops, starts or turns and leave plenty of room ahead of you for braking.
If in doubt, ask a trucker. They do it all the time.
