    I’m watching this GOLDEN vid again! I watched the whole video once, I didn’t skip forward and STILL managed to miss your incredibly handy tip about dropping off USPS boxes AND UPS boxes at UPS!!🎉 How awesome is that?? A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ASHLEY❣️ I LOVE my Slice box cutter!!
  • Love this video. Just a tip I’m cheap and I don’t like to waste so I keep and use all the packaging I get from my supply orders.
  • Great video! The ups stores in my area (nyc) charge $1 to take usps packages, but it is still worth it when you are short on time
  • @reignajoyce

    thank you for your video! i have a physical location for 13 years but i wanted to start an etsy now so i was looking for shipping tips on what to buy ect… so i came back to your link before purchasing to try to use your affiliate links to give you credit. my best friends are strictly youtube content creators gentscents so i know i better watch the whole video to the end and use your links 😊 haha but i wanted to let you know that 4x4 boxes weren’t on there and maybe if you had some more size boxes to pick from i also followed your link for future purchased you could add the hp toners bc they cost a lot and i use them for my business i noticed you had the printers listed just a thought i shopped around all of the list i enjoy seeing what people like and recommend i’ve ordered some great house hold cleaning items that way 😅 just a thought i love all of your information and plan to watch more so thank you keep up the good work!

    Hey Ashley, Great Content! You always make me laugh. Where did you get the BIG stamp to label your shipping boxes? I didn't see it linked. Thanks, love your videos.
