If you're already in the reselling game, this blog might seem basic. But how you present your inventory to potential buyers and what it looks like when it reaches their doorstep is crucial. This is what separates amateurs from seasoned resellers. Fine-tuning everything from listing to packaging to shipping is essential for long-term success in reselling.

Listing

When listing your hats, always include as much information as possible and highlight any flaws or repairs. This ensures honesty and helps avoid unexpected negative ratings.

Key Listing Points:

-Size (It doesn’t have to be exact, but it helps instill buyer confidence.)

-Material (People often search for specific materials.)

-Country of Origin (Include this if possible, it doesn't hurt!)

-Era (Use your expertise to estimate the production date range.)

-Flaws (Photograph and list them all to reduce returns and bad reviews.)

Take multiple photos from different angles, input the necessary data, and start selling. Vendoo is an excellent desktop platform that allows resellers to cross-post on multiple reselling apps, cutting listing time by more than half.

Packing

Packaging is one of the most important aspects of reselling. It's often the first physical interaction your customer has with your product.

You don't need custom printed boxes or fancy filling, but always use a box when shipping hats. An 8" x 8" x 8" box is perfect and often costs the same to ship as a padded envelope. Opening a smashed envelope is not a good customer experience.

Reusing boxes contributes to sustainability and prevents your product from being damaged during shipping. Simply pad the inside with reusable material, place the hat backside down with room for the bill, and secure it with more reused or recycled packaging material.

Shipping

Everyone has strategies to keep shipping costs low and reliability high. Here’s a tip: prioritize setting up a reliable shipping program from the start as it can significantly impact profits.

First things first: never wait in line at the post office. It's a waste of time and money. Get a free account at PirateShip.com and print labels at home. Half-page sticky labels can be purchased on Amazon, or you can print on regular paper and cut it down to fit the box.

Pirate Ship is the most affordable service we've found, offering necessary options for resellers like insurance, tracking, international shipping, and basic analytics.
