In this video I’m packing 30+ Earthglow orders with you in real time and walking through the exact shipping strategies that keep my damage rate under 1%. I start by printing packing slips, writing thank-you cards, and batching orders by size (two candles, 2–4, and 5+). Then I pick each order off my shelves and pack from smallest to largest so I’m not constantly reshuffling my workspace. The core method is simple: box-within-a-box for anything glass (and concrete), then biodegradable packing peanuts packed tight on all four sides, plus a little crinkle paper on top for aesthetics. I also show the box sizes I use (like 6x6x6 for one 10.75 oz candle, 12x6x6 for four, and 12x12x12 for big mixed orders), how I label inner boxes with the scent, and why I like “glass/fragile” stickers. I weigh every package and always round up to the nearest pound because shipping price breaks happen at the pound—so it saves time and avoids surprises. I also talk about paper tape (and my budget dispenser’s occasional jams), how I balance UPS/USPS/FedEx for speed vs rate, and a few extras I like to include—like a manifesto/serotonin card for first-time orders, sometimes a free wax melt for larger orders, and lightly scenting the box with perfume.
