How to ship products for small business
Shipping products as a small business is a loop: pack to a standard, buy a label, drop off, handle the one exception. Here is a loop you can run this week.
A one-page process
- Pick 2–3 pack types that fit 80% of orders.
- Write packed weights on a card or save them in Oshippy.
- Create labels in a daily or every-other-day batch.
- Print, attach, bag by carrier, drop off.
- When a adjustment hits, fix that product’s saved size or weight.
Customer communication
Send the tracking number the same day the label is created — or be honest if you drop tomorrow. Most complaints are silence, not Ground transit.
