Shipping cost
Sellers decide how much it will cost to ship books to the buyer. To set shipping cost, go to the Settings on the sellers’ dashboard and click Shipping to access Shipping Settings page.
- On the Shipping Settings page, click edit under Zone Name to specify your preferred shipping method. You can decide to ship the book for free: “Free Shipping” or add a fixed shipping cost: “Flat Rate”.
- If you choose Flat Rate, then click edit under Flat Rate section to add shipping cost. The Flat Rate shipping cost should be specified as the cost of shipping one book, multiplied by the quantity of the books. For example, if the cost of shipping one book is 5 dollars, then the shipping cost should be entered as: 5*[qty]. This will enable the system to add up shipping costs for all the books sold per order.
- You can also enter different Flat Rates under Shipping Class Cost. This enables sellers to assign different shipping costs for books of different weights. There are three shipping classes: Large Books Shipping Class, Medium Books Shipping Class and Small Books Shipping Class. For each class, enter the shipping cost as the cost of shipping one book, multiplied by the quantity of the books.
You may visit websites for shipping couriers such as USPS website to check estimated shipping rates within the USA.
Shipping books
You will receive email notification when your book gets sold. Once your book is sold, go to the Shipping section on the seller’s dashboard to initiate shipping and complete shipping process. Package the book, go to your preferred shipping courier to purchase shipping labels and ship the book to the buyer.
