Activity: 0% Longevity: 54% | | Paying my niece to ship my packages, is this a fair wage?
I'm going to Europe for three months, I'm thinking about paying my niece to ship out my packages so I don't have to close down my stores. Do you think $1.50 per a package would be a fair wage or am I overpaying? I sell anywhere from 400-700 items a week, so she will be making roughly $600-$1050 weekly.
90% of my sales come from my real Amazon store, the remaining 10% are from stealth accounts. Do you think it would be a bad idea to let her onto my stealth accounts?

I pay my guys $2.00 per package and they have to cover any mistakes they make(they dont make many because of this)
This fee also includes storage and inventory control.

I pay my wife and her friend $1k each per month under the table to fill around 1500 small orders weekly. I pay the majority of the bills so I can understand my wife working for this wage, but I have no idea why the other girl works 6 days per week for $250 per week...
I think your wage is more than fair. But I guess that also depends on what type of orders she will be filling.
Personally, I have yet to trust anyone to run any of my accounts.

I am guessing your wife's friend likes to hang out at your house and does not need more money lol

Yeah, that has a lot to do with it. They waste a lot of time bullsh**ting around. I couldn't care less though as long as all the orders go out.
It's a pretty easy job. For them at least..

If she can get the job done good and you make money, its fair for both I think. Seems like a much better option than closing down your stores.

I think it also depends how old your niece is and how long it takes to pack each item.

I would happily work for you if you pay my flight to America plus expenses
Watch out your niece doesn't outsource to someone for $0.50 per item |

I'm looking to hire some more employees, is anyone interested in scrubbing toilets?
All joking aside, I'm actually on the market for a web designer. I just need a simple easy to navigate desktop/mobile website created for my landscaping business, nothing fancy. If you guys know of any reputable designers, please send me a PM.
