What Do You Need to Have Before Shipping Fashion Items on Fashmates

It sounds easy – clear out your unwanted fashion clothes and accessories, download the Fashmates app, and you are set to make some extra cash.

But, what happens when an item you own has actually sold?

In What To Do Before You Ship Fashion Items we looked at how you should prepare the garment, and how to keep track of what you have sold.

After consulting with our top sellers, this post takes a look at what you need to have before you ship.

Packaging and Boxes

How you wrap the garment is up to you, but there are some practical tips which will help increase customer satisfaction and your feedback.

Clear poly bags can be bought cheaply from Amazon or eBay.

Always fold clothes nicely before putting them in clear, poly bags.

This will help the garment keep its shape, and will also protect it from rain and snow. Clear poly bags keep the item clean, dry and it also looks great.

Add a Thank You Note or a Business Card

Some fashion sellers add a “thank you” note or a business card when shipping an item.

You can have them professional printed at a low cost from places like Vistaprint.

It saves time and looks professional, adding a touch of class to each sale.

If you sell an item which is very expensive a nice touch would be to add a hand-written note.

Filling Up the Space in Shipping Boxes

You shouldn’t pop an item in a box and leave it loose. The box may get thrown around and the item damaged or scuffed.

Instead, use tissue paper or specially created filler paper to lessen the movement of the item inside the box.

Don’t use newspaper as this will leave black ink stains, and also looks cheap.

Take a little extra care when packing your fashion item, and your customers will keep coming back.
