Shipping a set of tires

Question

I listed a set of 4 tires for sale but the shipping calculation doesn't show me a multiple package option, so I entered the size and weight but I need 4 individual labels. How do I do this?

If you need 2 or more boxes the eBay Calculated Shipping will not work for multiple boxes. Figure the cost of each box to the farthest zone, you can add the numbers together and list it as Flat Rate shipping for the total amount or add it to the item price and do free shipping.

You can use eBay Shipping Calculator for estimating USPS https://www.ebay.com/shp/Calculator

For quotes on UPS and FedEx you can go to the shippers websites and do the estimate there. UPS and FedEx have lots of surcharges for large and heavy packages that the eBay shipping calculator does not always include.

This will help minimize the chance that you will be invoiced for the additional charges later and you have not gotten enough from the buyer.

You can then buy separate labels for each the boxes once your ready to ship. Make sure you add to your description that you will be shipping in multiple boxes. Once you print the first one then go back to the order and in the menu select print another label.
