Hi, I have just sold a book and went to print of the package label and my printer has ran out of ink!!! I am at work now and wont be able to get any ink till next weekend. Have any of you sent out a book with a handwritten label and package slip?

I told them that was the only book I had on that subject, and for them to purchase in the normal way if they'd like to buy

Teehee, all my packages are hand addressed and I never bother with a slip. Naughty!

No complaints yet

Could save me some cash on ink then. Thanks

Hi Foxybabe,

I hand write all my address labels - they are sticky ones, but I also sellotape them on to the package just in case (I have resisted the temptation to write directly onto the package as I've seen complaints from customers where the writing impression has gone through onto the book inside).

But I print out a whole supply of blank packing slips (just made out to my own design with item name, author listing number on etc) and then just hand write in the details (as neatly as pos.). That way I just print out a supply every now and then when I get low - I can get 10 on a sheet of A4.

I also include a small compliments slip too - again 10 per A4 sheet

I've never had any complaints

Thought this might amuse someone.

Just got a 5 star feedback with the comments that book was great and just like a new one....it was sold as ....(drum roll) 'New' :j I wonder if the poor buyer was expecting to be palmed off with a nearly new book in the wrong category?

How are sales for everyone? I'm having my best month ever, 35 sales in just over 2 weeks and many of them old faithfull items that I'd almost given up on. Long may it last.

Soo

Hi Guys
It seems like ages since I have posted on here. Just wanted to share good sales as others have posted - 17 items in 9 days with 3 coming today (must be the rain!!)
My initial £300 a month has now reduced down to a steady £100 a month but I'm happy with that as I haven't listed any new books for yonks and at present don't have time to.
Hope everyone else is having good sales
BFN
HIYA KAT hope your DFW day is still approaching steadily.

I haven't had any sales for ages. I've had three since my black ink ran out! :rolleyes:

I've just been handwriting the label and compliments slips. I tried to order some new ink from the Ink Club via Quidco the other day and the site kept crashing just as I submitted my credit card info!

I'm going to try again but hope it doesn't affect the chances of it tracking (£9 cashback for first order as well as a free replica ink cartridge)

My selling isn't going too good. I listed a lot of items last night, and then ended up buying more :eek:
