Advice: never list anything for sale with a shipping option if you are not 100% sure how to ship it. Some items are better match for local pickup than for shipping.

What are the dimensions of the item, and what's the weight? I looked up the product and even the 'mini' version exceeds UPS max dimensions for packages.

You'd have to ship Freight and the amount you charged for shipping will not cover Freight.

What dimensions did you enter on the listing form? You had to enter dimensions for that Ground shipping rate to be calculated.

Is it a roof rack or a pop-up tent? Shipping something like that is going to be expensive, even for a pop-up tent;, a rigid roof rack would be even worse. Did you use calculated shipping and input the correction dimensions and weight?

New sellers should never, ever start with items that large. Any mistake shipping something so big could not only result in not making any money on the sale, but could end up being a literal financial disaster for the seller (in after-the-fact carrier charges for inaccurate measurements, weight, or both, and a variety of potential additional surcharges). FedEx (and I believe UPS) can even charge a $1250 fee if the item exceeds their maximum allowed weight or dimensions and crosses into "freight" territory (yes, that is one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars!)

You may need to get a professional to pack it, especially if it is a rigid roof rack.

*side note* You need to end your 10-random-cards listing right away. Mystery lots are not allowed. And your no-returns stance will tempt disappointed buyers to get both a return shipping label and a full refund out of you.

1. Never sell anything without knowing ahead of time how you plan to ship it

2. I think that will have to go by freight shipping

3. What weight and dimensions did you put in for that item
