Questions on selling

[Chi Bamm]

I'm looking to sell a bunch of moderns and some BA books, however I've never really shipped comics or sold them, any advice for me??? Much appreciated??

 

Also I didn't know if this was the right forum to post it in. THANKS

Shipping is mostly a process of self-learning of the USPS. Here's some needtoknows.

 

$4.25ish for priority flat rate envelope, 10 comics max.

$8.50ish for priorty flat rate box, 25ish comics max.

$7 for Global Priority flat rate to Canada, 10 comics max.

$9 for Global Priority flat rate to the rest of the world, 10 comics max.

 

The rest all slides in between and around.

 

If you have larger lots, go to your comic store and ask them for their leftover diamond shipping boxes. Ship em Media Mail or parcel post.

 

Buy packing tape. Start saving/collecting newspaper.

 

Use sturdy cardboard to protect the books. Two pieces on each side is best.

What about payment options?

Take Paypal only, or take Paypal and money order. Keeping in mind that this isn't a long term thing you for, just sort of a one-off, may as well keep the potential for hassles at a minimum.

I think those rates have gone up:

$7.50 for Global Priority flat rate to Canada, 10 comics max.

$9.50 for Global Priority flat rate to the rest of the world, 10 comics max.

 

Any Canada folks that can comment on Air Post? I just sent a book for $2.50 that way. How long does that usually take?

Usually get them within two weeks. Unless customs get ahold of it.
