what is up ladies and gentlemen it is cold in here right now so that's why I'm dressed like this I need to get some more heat pumping in here but that's a whole another topic we got some orders this morning hopefully you can hear me audio wise let's pull up and see what we got all right it looks like we got three orders and the first one is 174 three oh and they ordered that EVGA GA 850 watt gold that I actually just tested and put into inventory yesterday so that's pretty good keep stuff moving all right so there's the 850 ga the EVGA gold and then here's the cables for the 850 GA so now it's time to find a good box let's find a good box goodness [Music] all right that should work let's throw it in some bubble wraps throw it in a bunch of bubble wraps all right that should be pretty good um and now I got a bunch of paper for like packing material let me go grab that and as for bubble wrap I just been buying the big spools of it that way I can lay it on the ground I lap it up here and then it just can feed from underneath me me and then when I'm sorry about that then when I'm done with it I just slide it back up underneath there let me go get that packing material on the bottom I'm going do some of this big bubble wrap [Music] goodness another little tip I like saving like all these these poly mailers and stuff and um I even told my family if they can keep you know poly mailers and padded mailers um cuz they're great for using for like packing material as well so I always like to keep the get the boxes pretty taut that way no heavy items can shake around that okay so now this is taped up very oh you know what we forgot I just got in some uh some new thank you stuff so let me put a thank you card in there um so so it's a little thank you card everybody that gets an order um this for this you know this month because we got Halloween coming up I'm putting in a Halloween Pokemon pack a thank you card um and a sticker so let me grab a sticker we'll throw a Brandon coin jellyfish sticker in there I'm going to try to keep keep true to uh putting a sticker in every single one but um whenever I run out it doesn't make it difficult so I'm going to definitely try to keep stickers on Deck but um put that in there let me grab a poly [Applause] mailer all right so I have been asked why do I wrap all my stuff in poly mailers or most of my stuff in poly mailers and the reason is um mainly due to the fact that uh sorry my cat's running around um it adds a layer of like um you know water resistance so if uh the package delivery guy or something leaves this out where it can get you know rained on hopefully this would have a little bit of extra barrier to keep it from getting wet now is that you know does that mean it's waterproof and you can throw it in the lake no absolutely not but does it help it ain't hurting nothing oh looks like these boxes are just a little too big for these poly mailers that's okay whenever they're slightly too big i' like to just go and cut down one side go like that like that now put this right here that that and then we just get another one another poly mailler and throw it on the other side as for like cost if it adds a lot of cost or not to um to shipping I I don't think so um these things are not that expensive especially when you buy them in bulk and then we'll just tape it up [Music] okay ran out of tape I keep tape over here let's go and feed another roll in by the way this brown tape it's on I get it off of Amazon and it is really really good for the price there is better tape out there but this stuff is really sticky and it's really affordable so that's why I like using it all right so I think we're good there now it's just time to weigh it 5.6 so my scale has been no to read a touch light so I'll put it in as 5.8 all right and there you go thermal printed out the uh the package slip I don't want to show this cuz it's got somebody else's address on it and um slap it on there and we're good to go so thanks for being with me behind the scenes packing in order and I'll see you on the the next one adios I think I'm getting sick hearing my voice all right we got another order and it looks like this one came through on eBay so let me pull eBay up and we'll get it popping and fun fact I'm actually I just hit my limit on eBay so they give you a limit of either you sell a certain amount dollarwise per month and then you're capped until the next month where you sell a certain amount of items well I've been selling my cheaper m.2 SSD drives um because those aren't selling well on my web store um over there on eBay and so it's a lot of drives for like a little bit of money um I'm limited to 170 items a month I hit that it's only the 18th so now I got to wait till you know another almost half a month before I can list anymore on eBay kind of sucks all right so this first order is let's see here uh it's 10 512 m.2 drives I'll go ahead and print out the uh the shipping label actually my bad the first order is three so whenever it's like just a couple drives I'll do it in a padded mailer so we'll get that ready three of them is going to workn weigh about 7 oz so let's print that purchase shipping label everything's going slow this morning there we go print print boom okay all right so this is for three drives so we'll set that right there we'll go ahead and get our thank you note we get our Pokemon pack and we'll get them a sticker we're running low on stickers so definitely need to get some new stickers coming in I already ordered some so just waiting on them and now let's get them three 512 m.2 drives one two three so previously I had been buying these I apologize um previously I had been buying these and I had to test them and wipe them myself that was a little cumbersome and um I renegotiated out with the recycling company and they said that well since um I ended up getting the buyout contract for the next 3 months and have it for another two months um you know we can work on some some parts of the deal and I was like can you wipe them and Crystal disc them or test them and make sure the drive health is above a certain amount and they're like yeah as long as you still buy the bad ones along with it and I said yeah that that's fine luckily there's very few drives that are below 95% Drive health and I just stuck those to the side and we will do a fire sale on really really cheap drives probably in the future but for right now just selling the good ones I don't want to you know worry about it and obviously if you buy a drive for me and you have a problem I'll just swap you out because I have so many of them coming in that's like I'm uh today is Friday the uh 18th and I'm going to pick up 170 drives today so yeah it's a lot of drives that I get coming in so I got to keep them move or no 140 drives 170 is the Lemon I can list on eBay so let me go ahead and get the uh bubble wrap oh goodness all right and I'll show you how I do drives normally I do like one two three cuz I I fold them into themselves but I don't do the full width of this bubble WRA so I go and look at a drive it's about that wide so I do just ever so slightly wider than the drive and then we'll save this piece for later so one drive I wrap it and wrap it on itself so it's not actually touching another Drive the other Drive is touching only bubble wrap cuz if they rub together they can uh break little you know transistors or little electrical bits or rub stuff raw rub it raw and um yeah I just I feel better about packing them like this a piece of tape to secure them we grab our thank you note sometimes the thany note gets shoved down in the bottom of these so I'm going to tape it to the Pokemon pack there we go and a sticker and that and then I do the shipping label on the side with the flap so it's like an extra you know point of protection for uh opening it or if somebody tried to open it and it's not theirs and then reseal it it'd be very very obvious because it' have to cut through the the label so can't show you guys the label on screen cuz I'm not trying to like show off somebody's address so let me just do that over here and Bam now that one's ready to go out so there she blows um if you enjoy this kind of content please let me know I'm I've definitely thought about doing it more in the future um you know just straight up it's to me especially now that I have like a nice clean area to pack stuff uh cuz this is my worktable workbench thing that I set up you guys probably saw it in a previous video um to me packing orders is almost become like relaxing now um I don't know if you share the same sentiment maybe watching orders being packed is not relaxing but I'd love to to hear your thoughts down below was this was this video uh yay nay pass fail a hit or a flop and um yeah I think I'm going to uh go get me some some cough syrup because my throat's killing me and unfortunately end this video and pack the rest of the stuff uh off video cuz talking is is just a little bit difficult right now um so have a good one adios I'll see youall on the next one goodbye
