Advice on Swarovski shipments?
Hi everyone, it's my first time selling on eBay, and I need to sell some swarovski pieces. They're all fairly small, and they come with boxes. I selected domestic shipping, but I don't know which shipping option to choose among the many options. How do I decide which couriers to ship with? And how much should I charge for shipping?

·3 years agoIf you’re using the ebay shipping service, just read what appears on the screen.
Shipping is divided into 2 main categories:
1) Shipments where the courier comes to your home or office to pick up the package.
2) Shipments that you have to take to the post office, postal center, or Fermopoint.
Then there are faster and slower shipments (the delivery estimate is shown on the left next to the shipping service.
And finally there’s the purchase price.
They’re listed in ascending order, first the cheaper services and then the more expensive ones.
The most serious and reliable couriers (but also the most expensive) are ups and dhl, but the price differences are not that marked when you look at the numbers.
If you need to ship a 200-euro Swarowski piece and want to insure it, I’d recommend UPS or DHL; the price difference compared with the cheaper services is minimal (just a few euros), but in case of theft, tampering, or loss they’re generally more serious and offer something extra compared with poste italiane.
Best regards.
