Can I tape 2 identical boxes together and ship using only one shipping label?
I recently sold 2 different items to the same buyer. Both items are in identical boxes (7x5x2) Can I tape the 2 identical boxes together and ship using only one shipping label? Thanks!

·2 years agoEXACTLY - Are you familiar with the expression "Penny wise and Pound foolish"
I had a supplier do that once. The tape let go and, since the label was in effect on only one of the boxes. I got one and the other would up in what used to be called the "Dead Letter Office" (i.e. I never got it).
PUT THEM IN ONE LARGER BOX AND QUIT SCREWING AROUND.
Concerns expressed by others about it being over 1 cubic foot are dismissed because you said they are 7x5x2. Therefore a box 7x5x4 will do just nicely,.

·4 years agoIt's allowed by both eBay and shippers. However, unless your buyer agreed to it, they might be unhappy unless you give a shipping discount. It might not cost that much less to ship and the buyer could expect a 50% discount. If it's two purchases, I would ship two packages to avoid an unhappy buyer.
