Preparing a shipment without mistakes
- Pack first, weigh second: a parcel above the declared bracket can be refused.
- Stick the label on flat, with no creases over the barcode.
- Remove any old shipping label from a reused box.
- Photograph the sealed parcel and the drop-off screen.
Delays to expect
Allow 3 to 5 business days between drop-off and pickup availability, a little more during sales periods or holidays. Always mention the longer end of that range in your confirmation message.
A buyer who's been told what to expect won't chase you after 48 hours — and won't open a dispute.
Volume: the real bottleneck
Past 30 sales a month, shipping itself isn't what takes the time — it's writing listings, relisting, and replying to messages. Revindo prepares the listings and the replies from your own computer; relisting stays your move.
