need advice to ship out my first batch of shirts: am I missing anything?

Hello, I am getting ready to begin selling my first batch of shirts (once I pick them up next week). I have ordered post office TYVEK bags (both first class and priority), stickers, lables for the packages. I will order a bag to put the tee in, and register with stamps.com so I can print out my own postage. Is there anything else I am missing? I bought the new Epson all in one from a wharehouse club for only $149.99. I think I am ready but wanted to check.
Thanks,
Desiree of Say Vende

How do you plan to sell the t-shirts?
Always include a "Thank You Note" with every shirt you sell.

....not sure if this relates to you question though. :eek:
Sounds like you've got everything covered. Is TYVEK a form of plastic, or a company? Uline.com has also some reasonably priced shipping supplies.

Do you really save much by printing / weight your own postage?

Don't forget that you're taking on extra cost with shipping first class (unless you're recouping it somehow... upcharging for shipping possibly). USPS boxes are free at usps.com!

T-Bot do you send an extra thank you letter that is seperate from the packing list all together? Any screenshots?

Good luck!

It's a kind of plastic paper (and a registered trademark of Dupont).
when i first started sellin online.. i had an account with stamps.com.. i found that i didnt like haveing to pay them their charges.. lol.. most of my customers use paypal to pay.. and i just print my labels with them.. or if shipping priotity mail.. just from the usps.com site (which has no charges at all added on).

yes, but shipping on them is quite pricey
