Hey all! I’ve been on this forum around a year and have a few throws I want to sell, but want to make sure I do a good job shipping them. Do you guys have any advice for a first time seller, like how to package the throw to make sure it reaches its destination unharmed, or anything else I might miss? Thanks!

Its pretty straightforward. I use mostly boxes that i received G Squared yoyos in when they were mailed to me. I wrap the yoyo/boxed yoyo in bubble wrap, put it in the box, and surround it with enough bubble wrap to fill any empty space. that way the yoyo cant move around in the shipping box and get damaged. Then securely tape the box shut and tape my printed label on the box. I dont tape over the barcode, but i tape over the tracking number, address, and return address when securing the label. That way if the barcode gets messed up, the information is still available. I use [pirateship.com](http://pirateship.com) to buy my labels. They make you enter less information than usps directly, plus its always like a dollar cheaper. I always use usps instead of ups because i can schedule for them to pick up the packages at my house the next day. Also, people seem to like that i send them a couple pics of how i packaged their yoyo and the finished package, with the tracking number clearly visible.

First time I sold, I had a box to put it in from my transactions on here, but I didn’t have hang bubble wrap on hand. I still had the packaging I used when I moved out of the house so I started with that, and used a lot of plastic bags to fill the empty space. It made it to the buyer without incident.

The second time I was able to get a bit of bubble wrap to put around the yoyos, but I still used plastic bags to fill in the gaps. If you have any spare packing paper use that instead
