Honestly, all those packages eventually show up. Every time I call to ask what’s going on, they just tell me to wait the full 14 days before they even start looking for them. And hearing that some of the boxes were actually opened? That's just wild. It honestly feels like it might be that one woman working there, though I have no idea how she'd even manage to mess things up like that...
Anyway, I want to apologize to everyone who was left waiting... I finally switched up my shipping provider and everything has been smooth sailing since. 🙂
I have a question... Has anyone else dealt with certified mail taking two whole weeks to arrive? I’ve been using this tiny local post office branch, and the lady working there has a serious personal grudge against me 🙂, so I can't help but wonder if my packages are being delayed because of it. Is that even possible? After that, I tried a different branch and everything arrived just a couple of days later. To make matters worse, some of my clients mentioned it looked like those first packages had actually been tampered with. It’s honestly awful. It makes me look completely unprofessional, even though it’s totally out of my control. I've switched branches now, but still...

I sent out five packages total that day, and now I'm wondering if there's any point in going down to the FedEx office if I don't have the receipt—I either lost it or tossed it by mistake! I'm not sure what the process is since this is the first time one of my shipments hasn't shown up.🤷😢
It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Lately, I've been having issues where some deliveries take forever to get to people. Honestly, I'm starting to think I might've annoyed the lady at the post office. 😂 Anyway, just hang in there. Sometimes things really do take up to two weeks to arrive...
I often send out packages with COD... and honestly, I usually end up paying up to $8.25 in shipping. Basically, it’s the package cost $5.00 plus about $2.25 for the COD fee. Some girls tell me they sometimes get charged an extra $1.75, or just that standard $8.50. It’s so inconsistent.
Also, just so you know—I never! charge those $8.25 girls who buy from me. So, it felt a little silly seeing some people on here asking how much it'll cost them, while trying to convince me that they'll have to pay like $20 in shipping and whatever else. I just charge the actual shipping $5.00 and add it on, then let them know immediately. For example, if the pants are $17, I'll tell her it's $65 and that's it. In reality, I'm only charging myself half the shipping cost. And don't even get me started on the ones who buy a lot; I don't charge them anything at all. So... please, just be respectful and ask ME how I handle things, or simply say "no thanks."
Hey there... I have a question. I’m sure the answer is out there somewhere, but honestly, I've read so much conflicting stuff online that I don't know what to believe anymore. Regarding shipping... I'm planning to send a small package—about the size of a shoebox—via COD (Cash on Delivery). So, here is my process: I pack it up, wrap it in plain paper, tie it with some twine (what kind of twine should I even use?), head to the Post Office, and tell them it's a COD shipment. (I think I get the part about the recipient and how the fees work, etc.). My actual question is: how do I technically process this? Is it officially labeled as a "COD package," or does the label not really matter as long as the cash collection is set up? Sorry if that sounded a bit messy, I'm having a hard time explaining it...
