Shipping arrangements can vary depending on the seller, item, destination and delivery service. Buyers should review the shipping information provided with each listing before completing a purchase.

01 — Seller Shipping Responsibility

Sellers are responsible for preparing sold items for shipment and shipping them according to the information provided in the applicable listing.

  • Package items appropriately.
  • Use the correct shipping address provided through the applicable order process.
  • Ship within the stated or reasonably expected timeframe.
  • Provide accurate tracking information when available.
02 — Shipping Information

Shipping Information

Sellers should clearly communicate applicable shipping information in their listings.

Shipping Cost

Any applicable shipping charge should be clearly communicated before the buyer completes the order.

Delivery Method

Where relevant, the seller should identify the expected delivery method or carrier.

Processing Time

Sellers should provide realistic expectations regarding the time needed to prepare an order.

Destination

Shipping availability may depend on the buyer's location and the item being purchased.

03 — Shipping Charges

Shipping Charges

Shipping charges may vary depending on the item, package size, destination, carrier and service selected.

Buyers should review the total amount displayed during the applicable checkout process before placing an order.

04 — Processing Time

Processing Time

Processing time refers to the period required by the seller to prepare an order before it is handed to the shipping carrier.

Processing time is different from the carrier's transit or delivery time.

05 — Delivery Estimates

Delivery Estimates

Delivery estimates are provided for guidance and may vary depending on the carrier, destination, weather, holidays, customs or other circumstances.

A delivery estimate is not necessarily a guaranteed delivery date.

Please Note

Delays caused by shipping carriers or circumstances outside a seller's reasonable control may occur.

06 — Tracking Information

Tracking Information

When tracking is available, sellers should provide accurate tracking information through the applicable order process.

Tracking information may take some time to become active after an item has been handed to the carrier.

07 — Incorrect Shipping Information

Incorrect Shipping Information

Buyers are responsible for providing accurate shipping information during checkout.

If an incorrect address is provided, the buyer should contact the seller as soon as possible. Sellers should not redirect a package to a different address unless the applicable order process permits it.

08 — Damaged Packages

Damaged Packages

If a package arrives visibly damaged, buyers should document the condition and retain the packaging where possible.

Photographs of the package, shipping label and item can help when investigating a shipping-related issue.

09 — Lost Packages

Lost Packages

If tracking indicates that an order has not been delivered or appears to be lost, buyers should first review the latest carrier tracking information.

If the issue remains unresolved, contact the seller or BidFlag support with the relevant order and tracking information.

10 — Delivery Problems

Delivery Problems

Delivery problems can include delays, unsuccessful delivery attempts, incorrect addresses, damaged packages or missing shipments.

Buyers should report significant delivery issues as soon as reasonably possible so they can be reviewed.

Where international shipping is available, additional requirements may apply depending on the origin, destination and item.

  • Customs requirements.
  • Import restrictions.
  • Taxes, duties or other government charges.
  • Carrier restrictions.
  • Additional delivery time.

Buyers are responsible for reviewing applicable international shipping requirements before purchasing.
