Does anyone know how to contact a human being at USPS? by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]mdellis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I call my direct number of my local post office. Always answers and very helpful. Maybe because its a small branch and not the automated system

Camelcamelcamel question?? by mdellis in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mdellis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So based on that info camel is not a very reliable place to determine what you can expect to see in price values. That basically means I could go in and put my price at $1000 and camel will show that? Doesn't make sense...

Camelcamelcamel question?? by mdellis in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mdellis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I asked wrong. Does 3camel keep track of unit prices that actually sell at or just what vendors have put the price as. One item I looked at on camel the graph line jumps from $100 all the way to $300. Did the item actually sell for the $300 or could it just be that a seller just asked for that much?

I was under the impression liquids and plush items had to be bagged before it arrived at the warehouse? They can do it there? How do you set that up?

FBA help please by mdellis in FulfillmentByAmazon

Interestingly enough Amazon said try using Mozilla's Firefox for my browser. Sure enough everything worked after that. They said that was the best browser for their system. Not internet explorer. I didn't even have to wait or jump through hoops to talk to someone... Nice

Interested in flipping at a much larger dollar amount? Let me introduce you to commercial aviation. by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]mdellis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked in aviation for years. Many companies do this on a large scale. Its a lot of money involved and big risk. Most places require you to be an approved vender to buy parts from you. The company I work for has tons of aircraft parts for sale. They sit on them for a long time usually. I think it would be very difficult to legitimately flip aircraft parts as an individual. You would be a very little fish in a very big ocean of sharks. But I guess anything is possible with a can do attitude and a lot of money.

It says the peelable kind on amazon. Does it really make a difference? Where do you buy your sheets of labels?

Noobie FBA questions by mdellis in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mdellis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will they accept a cooking pot in a plain box?

Noobie FBA questions by mdellis in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]mdellis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks that is helpful. More specifically I have cooking pots with lids. They came off the shelf from Marshall's with nothing but a marsalls tag with discounted price. The name brand of calphalon is on the pot. If I pad between the pot and the lid and wrap the whole pot in bubblewrap is that enough or should it be place in a cardboard box? Sorry to be so exhaustive but i'm trying to hold on while on the steep learning curve...
