Shipping Preferences - What You Need To Know
You are almost ready to start selling with us! The last thing you have to do while setting up your store, is to set your shipping preferences. Head to your Seller Dashboard, click on the Settings button and go to the Shipping section.
Here, you must include:
Your shipping policy
Your handling policy and refund/returns policy
Your insurance preferences
Now it's time to choose your shipping provider - these rules can get a bit confusing. Here’s a breakdown of what you have to do:
1. Set Your Domestic Provider Shipping Costs
Example: Domestic shipping with FedEx
Domestic Shipping Per Item - $4 (domestic shipping per item for this provider - can be overridden on each item)
Domestic Transit Time - 7 Days - Average Domestic Transit Time for this provider (in days)
Domestic Bulk Shipping Discount (select one) - Order quantity
Domestic Bulk Discount Rate - $1 (discounted rate when bulk shipping discount is applied)
Minimum Order Value - $4 (minimum checkout total for bulk shipping discount, excluding shipping cost & insurance)
Minimum Order Quantity - 4 (Minimum number of items for bulk shipping discount). What this does is charge the bulk discount rate ($1) when the minimum order quantity is reached (4 or more items)
You can change this to charge the bulk discount based on the dollar value ordered. The same bulk discount rate will be applied to both domestic and international shipping.
2. Set Your International Provider Shipping Costs
Example: International shipping with UPS
International Shipping Per Item - $13 (international shipping per item for this provider - can be overridden on each item)
International Transit Time - 21 - average international transit time (in days) for this provider
International Bulk shipping discount (select one) - Order quantity
International Bulk Discount Rate - $4 (discounted rate when bulk shipping discount is applied)
Minimum Order Value - $0 (minimum checkout total for bulk shipping discount, excluding shipping & insurance)
Minimum Order Quantity - 2 (Minimum number of items for bulk shipping discount). What this does is charge the bulk discount rate ($4) when the minimum order quantity is reached (2 or more items)
You can change this to charge the bulk discount based on the dollar value ordered. The same bulk discount rate will be applied to both domestic and international shipping.
