    Are You a Savvy Shipper? — Bundling Deep Dive #1

    Send us a text Why does smart bundling sometimes do the exact opposite of what you expect? In this mini deep dive, Why Not Whatnot? breaks down the two most common bundling problems sellers face: • When everything fits into one box — but Whatnot splits it • When nothing fits into one box — but Whatnot bundles it These situations feel completely backwards, but they come from the same place: cost-optimized shipping logic built on USPS pricing, not real-world packing. This episode focuses on understanding the system and making clean decisions before shipping labels exist. In the next episode, we’ll cover what changes after a label is already printed — and what your real options are at that point. If bundling has ever made you feel confused, frustrated, or like you’re missing something obvious, this episode puts the logic back in your hands. #Whatnot #WhatnotSeller #ShippingOnWhatnot #WhatnotShipping #ResellerLife #OnlineSelling Support the show

    The Most Important Shipping Episode Ever!

    Send us a text Guys, this is the most important thing about shipping. It’s about mindset. It’s about integrity, honesty, trust and thinking about the buyer. I go on and on and on, but this is the first of many bite size chunks about shipping. I think there’s a lot of sellers on Whatnot that could really benefit from thinking this way. I employ you to really wrap your mind around it and start off with your business with the right frame of mind.  #beyourbest #whatnot  #shippingintegrity #kindness #goldenrule   Support the show

    Followers? My Take

    Send us a text On Whatnot, followers look good on your page, but buyers are what actually builds your business. Today, I talk about why chasing follower counts can distract sellers from what really matters: setting realistic expectations, showing up prepared, working hard, and taking care of the people who are actually buying from you. This is about becoming a better salesperson, creating trust, and focusing on long-term success instead of vanity numbers. If you want happier buyers, stronger sales, and a more sustainable Whatnot experience, this episode is for you.

    Hey Whatnot Executives - I’ve got some ideas for you.

    Send us a text On Friday the 16th I recorded this quickly and without any forethought. I did use notes in my phone that were titled great new idea which refers to my idea of filtering, which I hope that somebody in power listens too. This is the most raw and unplanned recording thus far however, I’m interested to see how it goes. You’ll either love it or hate it. But please give me some grace and realize it was just my ramblings of the day. As always, I hope that you gain some wisdom or knowledge from it somewhere.  Support the show
