| This is my third holiday season on Etsy, maybe fourth. I don't ship
past December 18th and only priority from the 15th-18th. I find that
having a shipping table set up for the last few weeks really helps, if
you don't already have one. I make sure I have extra mailing labels,
tape, promotional items or cards, thank you notes, etc. on hand. I keep
a few rolls of simple brown packing paper and festive ribbons in a
variety of holiday colors (including blue and silver) for orders
requiring gift wrap. I add a note to my policies which says I will ship
direct to your family and friend if you already have 10 positive
transaction on Etsy. |

| the post office is insane... click n ship as much as you can. i was
selling 2-4 monkeys a day from october to december last year in my
other shops. i've been preparing parts to get the ball rolling in the next couple months to stock up ahead of time. i was making as many as i was sewing. so... if you have a product you can make ahead of time, start now. |

| Yes you can go to the usps web site and sign up for an account. You can
get free priority shipping boxes and envelopes from them shipped to
your house. Then when you have package to ship, you schedule a pickup
for your house the night before. It's really easy! |
