PACKAGING ITEMS

PACKAGING ITEMS FOR ORDERS SOUNDS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT IN REGARDS TO SHIPPING IT, THIS ISSUE GETS COMPLEX QUICKLY. THIS ARTICLE WILL COVER THE INS AND OUTS TO PACKAGING.

ON BRANABEE, WE’VE TRIED TO MAKE THINGS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. WE’VE SET UP AUTOMATIC SHIPPING CALCULATIONS BASED ON CARRIER, DIMENSIONS, DESTINATION, AND WEIGHT. NOTE THAT THIS IS ONLY TRUE FOR PACKAGES UNDER 150LBS IN WEIGHT, AND UNDER 48 INCHES IN ANY SINGLE DIRECTION. PACKAGES EXCEEDING THIS WILL BE PLACED IN A SHIPPING CLASS CALLED “LTL (LESS THAN LOAD) FREIGHT,” IN WHICH A FREIGHT CHARGE WILL NEED TO BE HANDLED SEPARATELY FROM YOUR PURCHASE.

THAT BEING SAID, THE SHIPPING FOR ANY PACKAGE THAT IS UNDER THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED LIMITS CAN BE CALCULATED AUTOMATICALLY FOR THE CUSTOMER UPON CHECKOUT. THEY WILL CHOOSE THEIR CARRIER AND THEIR OPTION, AND THE SHIPPING CHARGE WILL BE APPLIED TO THEIR FINAL TOTAL.

SELLERS WILL NEED TO MEASURE THEIR BOX SIZE AND THE PRODUCT WEIGHT IN ORDER TO AVOID LOSING MONEY ON A SALE. THE CUSTOMERS PAY THE SELLER FOR THE PRODUCT AND FOR THE SELLER TO SHIP IT OUT, HOWEVER IF THE SELLER DOES NOT PROVIDE ACCURATE NUMBERS UPON LISTING THE PRODUCT, THE SELLER MIGHT NOT BE CHARGING ENOUGH FOR SHIPPING AND THEREFORE THEY MIGHT NOT MAKE A PROFIT ON THEIR SALE.

BRANABEE HAS BEEN CREATED WITH THE ISSUE OF SHIPPING IN MIND. SELLERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MANAGE THEIR SHIPPING NEEDS THROUGH SHIPSTATION, BUT IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.
