You’re doing the Lord’s work. Thank you for this great video! I’m about to ship my first fragrance, and before this video I was so lost on how I should properly pack and ship it. This saved me. You’re the man!

I always second guess myself shipping awkward items. This was super helpful thank you!

Thank you very much for the information in this video. It is the easiest step-by-step instructions for shipping liquids that I've found so far. Just shipped out my first package of perfume and followed exactly what you showed. Checked at the post office and they said it was perfect. Subscribing to your channel because of this. Thanks for making it so easy to ship!

Unfortunately, the Consumer Commodity ORM-D is outdated. I got three packages with perfume back in the mail today. The note they included said that ORM-D was outdated as of Dec. 2020. I had no idea and neither did my post office. A new symbol sticker is added to the package instead of the writing. I am looking for more specifics on it now.

Thank for the video. I had a horrible day at usps today trying to send Christmas gift to Canada, long story. So trying to find more info after seeing your video I found out that USPS won't allow to ship to Canada with ground services…

Thank you for this concise informative video. I pull it up every time I have perfume to ship!

TY! Very helpful -- total nube, and I just sold a perfume . . . Now I can go to the post office! TY again!

This video is very useful for the people from US, for europe it is very complicated to ship fragrances for normal people. I called every possible company to ask them if they have a ground service or Boat transport. Almost impossible to do it the right way for "dangerous flammable items" like perfumes. Fedex and UPS told me that you can only ship if you are a shop and you have a contract with them. DHL and DPD told me no directly. The only way to do it is to pack it well but to not declare it as being a perfume inside of the box. after that pray that the customs don't discover it. Not a proper solution but most of the time there are no issues.

This was very informative and answered everything I had questions about. Thanks man 🙏🏼, gonna sell some scents I haven’t used as much and I know other people would like more than me

[mattoliver]

Great video and very helpful for someone like me who is new to posting this sort of item. Thank you very much!

Thank you for putting the writing for the label. I can never remember for the limited amount of items I have to ship like this.

Thanks for this detailed video - very clear. We have begun shipping colognes and fragrance body sprays via USPS domestic USA using the required Ground Surface labels which became a requirement after your initial video. We have been trying to get clarification from USPS (calls, emails) as far as shipping cross border USA to Canada, via same ground service and conditions. These are small consumer shipments well under the ounce parameters you mentioned. We cannot get a clear answer from USPS and prefer to not follow online blogs that simply say go ahead and ship... Local post offices also don't have the answer. Have you received anything definitive from USPS regarding cross border ground? Interestingly enough, Fedex seems to take far larger quantities cross border (they charge an arm & a leg...) and I've been told these shipments actually merge with USPS ground service, go figure. Any insight appreciated!

Really helpful video, I’m about to send nail polish as a gift. Two questions though:
1. Will I get charged more money for shipping liquids, or just the normal rate?
2. Is it okay to ship other items in the same box as well? (Normal shippable items like toys, shirts, etc. for example)

[staceyschwartz]

Thank you for this! I just came across a large about of new perfume bottles and was so confused as to how to ship. I see so many listings sending perfume bottles priority mail or first class.

[jaimiemainberger]

This was so helpful! Where do I buy all the stuff for packaging? Office max?

[DandyBeingTandi]

I'm trying to find an updated video on this! I don't understand the new changes in the description. It must ship ground for USPS?

[aroundhere]

I just shipped my first perfume! Went well, but there is no insurance for ground shipping, retail ground is what they did, and so I had to buy insurance. Cost around 8.50 for the box and 3.50 for the insurance. I'm now trying to find out if body mist needs to go ground or can it go regular first class or flat rate? It has way less alcohol than perfume, but I can't find the answer.

I love your videos! Very informative.. I wish I had seen this one sooner. I had 3 bottles of opened Chanel and Dior Perfume of my moms I didn't know what to do with.Oh well now I know. Can I ship the perfume bottle USPS ground advantage? You didn't mention that one so Thought I should ask
