Tips

1) Outsource through Elance or other trusted source and find someone to set up an Excel document with your shipping information: shipping companies you prefer, rates, contact info, etc.

2) Plan ahead and order plenty of shipping materials so you'll have them on hand: tape, boxes, labels, envelopes, filler, etc.

3) Read shipping forums for ideas on how to improve your delivery operations, starting with eBay's community for Packaging and Shipping for now.
