    Label Tips: We\u2019re into labels<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    1. Print your label: <\/strong>Regular size 8 1\/2 paper or label sticker works just fine!<\/li>
    2. Use the link <\/strong>from Curtsy to print so the label is clear (not a photo of a photo).<\/li>
    3. No printer? No problem! <\/strong>When creating your pre-paid label, tap \u201crequest label via mail\u201d. We\u2019ll mail your label the next business day, and you\u2019ll receive it within 5-7 business days! Request a label<\/strong> soon after you sell to avoid delays.<\/li>
    4. You can also find a printer<\/strong> near you at a print shop, school, friend’s house or public library.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Packaging Tips: Wrap<\/em> it up<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      1. Pack up your item, <\/strong>any <\/strong>small box or envelope will do!<\/li>
      2. Order our <\/strong>Shipping Kit<\/strong><\/a>: Don\u2019t worry about finding a box! Buy a shipping kit and we\u2019ll send you mailers\u00a0to have for your next sale.<\/li>
      3. Sustainable packaging: <\/strong>Reuse a box or envelope (Yes, even an Amazon box). Remember to remove or cover old labels and tape.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udca1Pro tip<\/strong>: In a pinch? Flip a previously used mailer inside out. What’s old is new again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Tape on your label<\/strong>, but DON\u2019T tape over the barcode (it\u2019s harder for USPS to scan over tape).<\/li>
        2. Use tissue paper and padding<\/strong> on fragile items like sunglasses and jewelry, and to keep your items from moving around in the box.<\/li>
        3. Keep it clean: <\/strong>Make sure items are dirt free and match your listing.<\/li>
        4. Take photos <\/strong>of your item before and after packaging for your own records.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Personalization Tips: Be a little extra<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          1. Add in<\/strong> a thoughtful thank you note, sticker, or extra gift with your package as a fun surprise for the buyer.<\/li>
          2. Draw<\/strong> doodles on the package for a nice touch.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Drop off Tips: Options to Ship<\/em> it!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            1. Let USPS come to you:<\/strong> You can schedule a pickup with USPS using this link<\/a>, and USPS will come to you!\u00a0<\/li>
            2. Drop off at the post office:<\/strong> Leave your package with a clerk inside USPS, and be sure to get a receipt for your records!<\/li>
            3. Use a blue USPS drop box: <\/strong>Drop your package in any USPS dropbox near you!<\/a> (This option can sometimes come with increased delays, so try the options above first if you can! Be sure to snap a quick pic of the info on the drop box too!)\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
