shipping a complete set of 29 hard-cover books in 3 boxes

Question

Hello,

I am preparing to list a complete 29-volume set of hard-covered books. They are packaged to ship in 3 separate boxes of similar sizes. Each box weighs 22# +/_.

When I enter shipping information on eBay, how can I add two additional boxes for a complete package of 3 boxes of books? It only allows me to enter data for 1 box. I can't imagine placing all books in one 70# box to lift. With 3 boxes, it seems to be a more logical way to ship. But how can I enter this into eBay's shipping page?

Thanks!

Jean

The calculator does not accommodate multiple packages.

You will have to figure out what the total amount of shipping the 3 boxes will be and then use Flat Rate shipping in your listing for that price.

Use the dimensions of one of the boxes - use the biggest one if they aren't all the same.

When the set sells, you can purchase and print multiple labels (up to 5) for the order.

Print the first with the correct dimensions and weight of box #1

Then, Go to your "Paid and Shipped" orders and use the dropdown to "Print another label".

Use the dimensions and weight of box #2

Repeat for box #3.
