Shipping two speakers

Question

When calculating shipping costs for an auction, I have two packages going out @ 43lbs each The ship charge is only saying 1 pacage at 43lbs. I don't see an option for entering 2 packages and have the charges reflect that on an auction. thanks guys, ~Matt

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 enter one box in the shipping section and add the 2nd box to the item starting bid price .

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.
