Before my blog was even a thought, I started up my own jewelry shop on eBay, it did take a while to take off but once it had it was a pretty steady income for me, I jumped into it without doing much research on what I actually needed to do, I guess I assumed I just made my jewellery, took photos of it and uploaded it...boy was I wrong, you'll need to know fees, tax, the ins and outs of delivery charges and so much more! Gather together as much information as you can, the more you know, the less that can go wrong, don't feel nervous about emailing other companies and asking about their delivery services and what works for them, sometimes hearing advice from those who have probably done the whole trial and error thing, can save you money and time! Delivery Think long and hard about this one, you'll want a courier with a good track record of delivering parcels on time, without any damage and as smoothly as possible! To choose the right courier for you, you need to figure out if there is a local depot center you can visit too, just incase you need to sort out any problems quickly and efficiently. When it comes to bigger parcels, TNT have a fantastic rapport from many well known companies and super quick international deliveries (even next day delivery to France for next to no money!). Packaging This is where the cost comes in, sure you won't be paying for it but it's still not ideal to go crazy, people like cheap p&p rates, it draws them in. Obviously it is expected to have higher costs with bigger items but keep the packaging safe and secure as opposed to spending lots of money on things looking pretty! With the jewelry I bought a bulk of little boxes of all different colours and patterns, it saved me around £20 as opposed to buying it all separately, your best bet is probably eBay, it was my savior and always has fab bargains@ Communication Something I personally love when I buy from a company is to be kept up to date with my order, whether its just with an automated email to let me know things are rolling, followed by dispatch information and even the 2 hour delivery slot, so whether you're using a courier or sending bits off yourself, customers really appreciate being kept updated and in the case of anything going wrong, they need everything to be smooth sailing and with as little stress as possible!
