Running a Home Business-Important Essential Items to Ship Physical Items

Running a Home Business? Don't forget these important staple items!



Whether you are running your own business from home like me, selling on eBay or Amazon, or just wanting to have important items handy, here are 2 items you cannot do without!

Most of you know I have a tech and media company and a recording studio in my home. I also sell on eBay and Amazon. The most important thing you should do when selling online is to have a system that works. This won't be the same for everyone, and there's never a one-size-fits-all solution for organizing your materials. But when it comes to shipping materials, you need a few things with easy access.

I keep my shipping tape in a small wicker basket on top of a large rolling cart, along with my Duck brand bubble wrap, so I can create a system I use each time I get a package ready to go. 

At the end of each day, I print my shipping labels, gather the items the customer purchased, wrap them in secure bubble wrap to protect them during the trip ahead, and tape them up into a box with Scotch shipping tape with a FRAGILE label. BTW, these fragile labels on Amazon are the best ones for the smaller boxes because you can stick them along the side of the package label horizontally for a perfect fit.

Check out these items on Amazon and make sure to keep them all handy to set up your reseller's work area!
