Seller shipping (if he charges multiple, can I request him to not combine shipping?)

[2015.sitav]

I bought multiple items from a seller and there is an attached shipping cost. He wants to ship items together, I want him to ship them separately as they can potentially be damaged if they are shipped together.  If I request to the seller that I want him to ship said items separately (hes charging me for shipping which I am fine with paying) and if he doesn't ship them to me separately, can I request a partial refund if my items come in one package and/or if if they arrive in the same package partially damaged?

You can request a refund if they arrive damaged. But not if they are shipping in 1 box and arrive safely.

It would be a really good thing to get that all straightened out with the seller BEFORE you buy. As a seller, wouldn't you agree?

Yes, but the seller does not have to honor that request.

Be sure to get this issue clarified before ordering.

The solution is simple: pay separately, ship to different addresses. ~~C~~
