RVA Seller Circle

I figured out what to do with shipping!!

Summary: Margaret Eddleton shares their experience of using Chat GPT to optimize shipping options for their shop. They devised a plan to use a standard shipping option and add a disclaimer regarding the potential use of USPS, UPS, or FedEx based on cost and efficiency. Danielle Craun appreciated the efforts and shared about creating a GroupMe group, "RVA Seller Circle," inspired by Margaret Eddleton's suggestion. Kenneth Kelly also complimented the disclaimer and inquired about its placement, to which Margaret Eddleton responded with instructions on adding it to item descriptions. Overall, the discussion focuses on sharing shipping tips and leveraging communication apps for better collaboration.

So as I have said before I do use Chat GPT A LOT! So I asked her what to do about shipping since I want to change it based on the cheapest service. She told me to select standard shipping ( there is just a blanket option in shipping services, which I can't believe I missed!) and then add a disclaimer to the bottom of each listing. Here is what we came up with

"📦 Shipping: USPS, UPS, or FedEx will be selected based on cost, efficiency, and delivery speed to ensure timely delivery. Tracking is always provided. Please feel free to message me with any questions or concerns!"

Also would anyone be interested in doing a group on the Group me app? My other half uses it all the time for his hunting group. I wanted to pop in this morning for the listing session but I didn't get a chance to. I am going to try to make it to the one tomorrow but I am wayyyy better at emails/text messages. I like to go back and reference haha! (I took screenshots at the meeting last night).

I love that you've been experimenting with this. I'm not sure where you found this blanket option. I def missed it. If you're able to hop on tonight or at a future meeting, maybe you could walk us through. And your disclaimer is perf! 🤗

Thank you for the recommendation on the GroupMe app! Created and done and I will be sharing it soon!

Fyi if anyone wants to get a jump on this, GroupMe - RVA Seller Circle

I did figure out you cannot choose “standard shipping” with calculated shipping based on location. Any of my items that are under $5 I use calculated so I don’t end up paying the customer to take the item 😂. I still put the disclaimer in those but 99% of the time USPS is going to be the cheapest anyway. 😁

Great disclaimer! Short and to the point. I'm going to start using that also. Where do you put it in, in the description? Thanks for sharing.

I put it at the end of all of my listings. You can bulk edit and “add to the end” of each item description 😁
