Shipping on Grailed is now easier than ever! In an effort to make shipping faster, easier, and more predictable, Grailed announced the simplification of shipping for U.S. sellers! You no longer need to measure and weigh your orders! 👏🏽
Now, when you make a sale on Grailed, you’ll simply print a pre-paid Grailed label, and tracking will automatically update! It’s that simple!
Note: International orders or items weighing over 20 lbs are handled a bit differently. See below 👇
💡 How long does a seller have to ship on Grailed? Sellers have seven days from the date of purchase to add accurate tracking information and ship the item.
If you have never shipped with Grailed labels, it’s super easy and convenient:
First, let’s talk about U.S. sales and national shipping 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.
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.
For reference, I toggled free shipping on a t-shirt, and the price displayed was $7. For a sweatshirt, it was $15.
When you make a sale, you can download the label from Grailed
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.
💡Selling large and heavy items? Grailed labels are not available for parcels weighing over 20lbs. See below how to do self-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.
You can use PirateShip to estimate shipping costs to various countries to get a better idea of market costs. Personally, I generally follow these parameters for my listings:
💡Tip: I also put a note in my listing description encouraging buyers to message me for international shipping prices. With a buyer’s address, I can calculate an exact rate that is often better than my high estimates.
Remember, these rules apply to items over 20 lbs as well, as those cannot be shipped with Grailed labels.
