Yes, you can deduct expenses!
For the mileage, you need to keep a mileage log, showing trip mileage, date, time and purpose. Be sure you keep track of your total mileage for the year. You will need it when you prepare your return. Also, there are apps you can use to assist in tracking the mileage. Some business owners find this as a more convenient way to calculate the mileage.
You can also expense the packaging materials, boxes and postage for shipping the products.
If you have an area in your home that you use exclusively and regularly for storing inventory and preparing the packages for shipping, you might be eligible to deduct expenses for Business Use of Home. This must be your principal place of business.....which from your description, it is. Business Use of Home/Home Office expenses are deductible as an expense for self-employment.
