Staying calm worked!  Update on Poshmark shipping changes

So, the British mantra worked.  Stay calm and carry on!  That's what I did in reaction to the changes in Poshmark shipping.  I'm glad I did.

I usually avoid phone calls at all cost because I really do not like being on the phone.  Maybe its roots are in my childhood.  If a friend called me after school, my grandfather would say, "You can talk for a few minutes but not more than 5.  You see each other all day at school what do you need to say now?"  Yes, sometimes it was to gossip about so-n-so or if a boy had said anything to us but usually it was someone who wanted help with their homework.  I was that kid- the nerdy miss goody two shoes.  At least, until my later high school years.

Postage is the real topic.  As you may know, Posh changed their shipping from Priority to Ground Advantage reducing cost to $6.49.  This was great news but the uproar was that we could no longer use Priority mailers/boxes and would have to find our own.  Fortunately, Posh arranged a deal where Posh Sellers could get Ground advantage supplies for free.  All you needed to do was to call a number and give your closet info along with your name, number...so they could verify that you had a closet with Posh.  Simple right?  Nope!

I called the number and the customer service person had no clue.  At least I got through.  I read posts where many said they were on hold forever or simply could not get through.  To avoid calling, I sent an email.  I sent it three times over the course of five or six days and on the third attempt, I received a response.  My order was on the way. Finally.

I did buy some envelopes and boxes at Wal-Mart but did not overdo.  I spent less than $10.  This proved to be a good decision. I made a few sales and used a few of these supplies.  Fortunately, it carried me over until my Ground Advantage supplies arrived.  The whole process was about two weeks but all's well that ends well.  No need to panic!  Poshmark gave directions on what to do and USPS came through with the supplies, eventually.

Initially, it was a shock but staying calm and waiting for the bruhaha to settle down was the right move.
