how to save money, time and get the best hauls
i've been using the site for a bit and figured out how to actually use it without wasting money. here are my tips for all 7 points they mentioned:
coupons - dont just let them sit there. check your coupon center before you submit a parcel. sometimes adding one cheap item like socks can put you in a weight bracket where you can use a much bigger shipping coupon and actually pay less overall.
finding links - dont just search the home page. go to reddit or discord to find spreadsheets with high quality links. the stuff people actually reviewed is always better than random cheap finds.
qc photos - always look at the photos hipo sends to the warehouse. check the logos and the tags. if it looks bad, return it immediately so you don't waste shipping money on trash.
cheapest shipping - for europe, always check the tax-free lines. they might look more expensive at first but you wont get hit with customs fees which saves you a lot more in the long run. also remove shoe boxes to drop the weight.
payment - use apple pay or stripe if you can, it’s usually the fastest and has the least issues with topping up your balance.
earning - you can literally get money back by making posts like this or sharing your hauls. use that credit to pay for your next shipping fee.
smart shopping - always use the rehearsal shipping service. it gives you the exact weight of your package so you don't overpay for "estimated" weight and then wait for a refund.
hope this helps you guys get better hauls.
Good luck to everyone
