Try to buy from one bookseller, as you can save money on shipping. Sometimes, these booksellers may offer discounts if you buy a bundle of books. I want to sell bundles of books, but I need to figure out how to package them. What do I do? On Amazon, you can buy bubble-wrapped envelopes (12.5 x 18). Here is a link to the bubble-wrapped envelopes (Affiliate link); yes, they are pricy, but they can fit about 8 to 9 books per envelope. How does shipping works?Once you sell a book or a bundle, you will receive a notice on the app to print the shipping label. Yes, PangoBooks puts together the shipping label and weigh the books.Each shipping label will include the list of books that you sold. All you have to do is package the books. Then drop it off at the USPS. There are areas where USPS can pick up your package for you, so you don’t have to leave your house.I don’t live in an area that does this, so I use DoorDash for package pickup. The DoorDash cost is $5 if you are not a DashPass member and $3 if you are a DashPass member, plus a tip. If you have a car or can walk to the USPS, you can drop off your package in one of the bins, and then you are all set.Do you have a few stores for me to follow?Yes, I am happy to share a few stores that you add a follow.WTRN - Our very own store.
