Why I adore Shyp
Ebay, Amazon, Poshmark, Tradesy, Mercari are constantly on my mind. I envision easy ways to sell my overflow, eliminating clutter and making room for new goodies. I am a consignment store junkie and have even justified purchases with the promise of ‘using for just a while’ and then selling on one of the popular auction/ online sales tools. This is sick. Even more sickening is my ‘auction box’ that has moved into my attic and been replaced by ‘auction box #2.’
I figured that I had an unhealthy affinity to my stuff, but after discovering Shyp, I now realize my problem lies with just one part of the process – The shipping. Mobile Apps and technologies that remove backgrounds automatically for professional photos (Tradesy) have made listing our items for resale easy, even fun. However, once I’ve made the sale, the easy goes away. At least for me, I hate shipping!
My local post office is the worst! The lines move slowly and that one attendant that always seems to need to step out to lunch right when I hit the front has some real bad karma coming to her. Not cool! Other shipping services like Fedex and UPS can be costly when needing a pickup, as there are no local stores near me for drop-off. So… Enter Shyp.
