Best way to ship something you sold on eBay?
Hey guys. I'm about to sell an iPad 2 I got as a replacement from Apple on eBay and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations as far as what's the best bang for buck way to ship it from NYC to another US location. Would be good if I could drop it off to ship either on the weekend or late at night since I'm at work during normal times. Just thought I'd get some input if someone has had more experience with this. Thanks.
USPS, online service. Pick up a free flat rate box during the day, or get someone else to do it, whatever. Print out the shipping label online (you can add additional insurance) and send it. I think you can have them pick it up too, might cost additional $
easiest/most expensive - drop off at UPS and they'll do everything for you
cheapest - usps, pack it on your own and ship it, should fit in a flat rate box no problem, printing a label is sometimes a pain so for a one time thing might be better to just stop by the post office and pay for it there, ship it priority mail, and def go during late morning if possible when lines are lower
Thanks guys.
Pack it up, take it to USPS and tell them it's a book. You pay for media mail which can take a couple of weeks, but is very inexpensive. I do it all the time.
If it's something substantial ($-wise), get insurance. I always get delivery confirmation, though. eBay is infamous for protecting buyers.
I would advise you to use a shipping method that provides a tracking number that you can give to your buyer, especially if you're trying to build up some positive feedback and maybe turn this into a side-gig of some sort. I always found it nice to get a tracking number from a seller, so I try to pay it forward.
