For these orders, labels are generated directly through Grailed and applied to the sale, with tracking automatically uploaded once the label is used. This system standardizes domestic shipping on the platform and affects how sellers price items, offer free or paid shipping, and handle fulfillment. Understanding how Grailed shipping works is essential for staying compliant and avoiding listing or order issues.

Shipping on Grailed is designed to be streamlined and predictable. For eligible domestic orders, Grailed generates a prepaid shipping label automatically, so sellers do not need to manually enter package weight or dimensions. Once the label is printed and used, tracking is uploaded to the order automatically, making fulfillment straightforward and centralized within the platform.

If you have never shipped with Grailed labels, it’s super easy and convenient. Let's break down both national orders and international shipping.
Shipping National Orders on Grailed
When listing, there really isn’t anything to do- the approximate weight is no longer required.
You will only choose whether to offer free shipping or charge for shipping.
How to Offer Free Shipping on Grailed:
If you want to offer free shipping to entice buyers, you simply check that off in the listing form.
Note that if you opt to pay for shipping, the cost varies. You will not know the cost to you at the time of listing, because the shipping cost is based on the item and the buyer’s location.

You’ll receive a sales notification where you can easily print your label, affix it to your package, and ship:
Grailed labels are either USPS or UPS, and you can still pay for signature confirmation if you feel so inclined.

Grailed International Shipping
International shipping is made simple on Grailed. On the listing form, you can customize the rate you will charge for shipping.
If you’re unsure how much to enter in these fields, I recommend pricing on the higher side so that you don’t undercharge and eat too much of your profit.

Tips for Shipping on Grailed
Shipping on Grailed is straightforward, but following best practices helps prevent delays, cancellations, and disputes. These tips can help sellers stay compliant and protect their payouts.
Ship within the required timeframe
Grailed requires sellers to ship and add valid tracking within seven days of purchase. Orders that are not shipped on time may be canceled or refunded, which can negatively affect your account standing.
Use the provided Grailed label for eligible U.S. orders
For qualifying domestic sales, always use the prepaid Grailed shipping label generated with the order. Tracking is automatically attached when the label is used, reducing the risk of manual errors or missing tracking.
Package items securely and accurately
Even though weight and dimensions are estimated for Grailed Labels, sellers are still responsible for proper packaging. Use sturdy boxes or mailers, protect fragile items, and ensure the label is clearly visible and scannable.
Understand how free shipping affects payouts
If you offer free shipping, the cost of the Grailed label is deducted from your payout. Pricing items accordingly helps avoid unexpected reductions in earnings after the sale is completed.
Confirm shipping requirements for international and heavy items
International orders and items weighing over 20 lbs must be self-shipped. Sellers are responsible for purchasing postage, uploading tracking, and ensuring the carrier meets Grailed’s tracking requirements.
Keep all shipping communication on-platform
If a buyer has questions about shipping timelines, delivery issues, or address concerns, respond through Grailed messages. On-platform communication helps protect sellers if disputes arise.
Double-check addresses before shipping
Always ship to the address provided on the Grailed order. Shipping to a different address outside the order details may void seller protections.
Following these shipping tips helps ensure smoother transactions, faster delivery, and a more reliable selling experience on Grailed.
