Store Shipping Methods

Shipping & Handling fee Settings

Buyers select their shipping method at checkout. The shipping method is shown in the order notification email, invoice, and order detail screen. Sellers are not required to define any shipping methods.

Shipping Methods Settings
Sellers can define shipping & handling fee options on the Store Shipping Methods page. You can add, edit, or delete shipping methods on the Methods tab. You can only delete a defined shipping method when there are no active orders requiring that shipping method. Shipping methods with incomplete orders will be in pending deletion status until all orders are marked as completed. For sellers in the US, Germany, UK, and Netherlands, BrickLink provides rate charts from USPS, Deutsche Post, Royal Mail and NL Posts. The shipping cost will be calculated based on the rate chart you select.

   

You may also create a custom shipping rate chart. After choosing this option, a custom rate table will appear below the Rate Chart section. There are three kinds of custom charts that you can use:

Domestic Custom Chart: A flat rate chart will be provided for shipping to your registered country. The cost will be only calculated based on the weight information. Clicking “Add row” will allow you to define custom shipping prices for specific shipment weights.

International Custom Chart: A rate chart will be provided for international shipping pricing. Clicking “Add Zone.” will let you set zones for your custom rate chart.

Everywhere Custom Chart: The continent that your registered country is in will automatically be on the second column (next to Weight) and you can set additional zones by clicking “Add Zone”. Clicking the settings icon will allow you to have/set multiple countries in a zone.

Insurance & Handling Cost Settings
Sellers can control each shipping method's insurance option at the checkout:

  • Mandatory – Insurance is selected for the shipping method by default. Buyers must accept insurance.
  • Optional – An insurance option is provided for the shipping method. Buyers may accept or decline insurance.
  • No – An insurance option is not provided for the selected shipping method. Buyers cannot insure order.

    Set up an insurance rate chart, handling fee, and additional packaging settings in the Insurance and Options tab. The insurance table is in the Insurance tab. The Options tab displays handling fees, package dimensions, and package weight.
