Silly shipping question

How can I tell what class of service was selected? In Paypal, it just has the $ amount. I don’t see anywhere in the Bonanza listing that specifies what the shipping class is. (Parcel Select, Priority, etc)

Some items are actually cheaper to ship Priority than PP, so we can’t go by price alone. Of course, I’ll do a FREE UPGRADE if it’s cheaper to ship Pri and I like to inform my buyers so they know when to expect delivery.

Thanks!

With Priority you get Tracking & they will get an estimated delivery time. I think a minimum Insurance is included now too. Add or message the buyer that you have sent it as such. If the price is negligible I will do it anyway for both our benefit. A parcel w/o Tracking is just asking for trouble!

To whit, on some items I will offer [URL removed] PS is cheaper for local zones, Pri for other coast. I always say Tracking is included whichever they choose…

If you look at the email that you get from Bonz that tells you you sold an item, the specific shipping will be stated there. The shipping line will say priority or parcel or whatever options you provided. I had that question for so long, I can’t tell you, and just found this little gem about 6 months ago.

FYI, because of the discounted Priority Mail rates, if my buyer selected parcel and I can ship priority for the amount paid, or a few cents more, I will ship priority.

If you go to the original listing, under shipping, it should say “get it by whatever date” hover over that & it should tell you what class it ships.
