Original Post

I can't get to the post office everyday and I have a slow turnaround time because of it when it comes to shipping my merchandise. it seems that whe I get a large back up of orders I stop getting orders but as I mark them shipped I get more within an hour. Are these orders that were ordered BEFORE and just not processing untill I mark some shipped or are they just coincidental orders?

Coincidental. Imagine if you shipped everyday, lol! :-)

I always notice that too...it works out nicely! I've wondered if it were more than coincidence, but it doesn't happen eeevery time, just often.

It's just a coincidence, but that is pretty awesome! I wish that would happen for me! I am actually on my way to the post office to send out 6 packages... Maybe when I get back I will have 6 new orders!!! I can only dream hehe.

Oh my gosh.....I can't believe that you all waste time actually going to the post office. The biggest time saver for me was when I realized that I could print PayPal shipping labels!!....and save money on the cost of shipping. Of course, it took me a year to figure that one out.

Are you also re-listing the sold items? this is maybe why.

Maryanne.... Lucky, that you live in a country, that you don“t have to go to the post office! And than on Saturdays it closes at 12 (noon), than again open on monday..... And I sometimes have parcels, that I can not carry alone... asking neighbors from my house, and asking foreigners in front of the Po to help me ;-)
