Classroom finally ready! Bulletin boards decorated, deskplates on desks, lockers assigned--all ready for Tuesday. I'm hopeful that I can get some photographing done this weekend so I can list some new items on my Etsy shop.
Back when I was preparing to open my Etsy shop, one of the things I had to research was shipping. Before I could write my shipping profiles, I had to figure out how I was going to ship items to the buyers. Up to this point, my experience with Canada Post consisted of sticking a stamp on an envelope and dropping it in the mailbox, or opening my crammed mailbox and struggling to extract the bills without destroying them. I needed to know how to wrap the packages, how long shipping would take, and how much to charge buyers. I tried to navigate Canada Post's website, but it was about as easily navigable as a meerkat family's den. Instead, I went to the post office with a sample of a typical package, and asked the clerk how much shipping might cost to mail that package anywhere in Canada, the U.S., or internationally. Apparently, the package has to fit into a 2 cm plexiglass slot, or it costs more. Armed with this knowledge, I was ready to fill out my shipping profiles. All that was left was to sign up for a PayPal account, write a bio, hammer out my refund and exchange policies, and write some descriptions for my jewellery.
I'm falling asleep at the wheel here, so I'll continue this thread next time. Good night, all.
