Why are we running the campaign?
We're displaying fixed delivery prices (rather than estimated) on all listings to UK buyers to turn your product views into purchases.
Clarifying fixed delivery prices pre-purchase for buyers will increase sales for our sellers. Why? To improve your chances of getting the sale:
- Price is a key element in decision making
- Clarity improves trust (especially for new buyers).
What delivery price will show on UK seller listings?
As of December 1st, you have control of the fixed delivery prices on your listings:
1. By adding prices to your delivery grid
2. Adding a delivery price to a specific listing
3. Updating the delivery grid size category of your item yourself (these are: Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large).
4. By marking a specific listing as 'Request a quote'.
N.B. If a listing is not marked as 'Request a quote', and you don't have prices in your delivery grid or on listings, we'll display our estimated fixed delivery prices below:
What delivery price will show on international seller listings?
Delivery prices set by you via your listing or your delivery grid
OR if you don't have a delivery price set, we will show your listings as
Request a quote.
How does fixed delivery work?
All fixed delivery costs are calculated on your listing's delivery size category. Our categories are as listed below:
- Small: items that can be sent through the post;
- Medium: items that can be delivered easily by 1 man;
- Large: can be delivered 1 man with the help of the customer;
- Extra-large: would be a 2-man delivery service.
N.B. If you disagree with Vinterior's auto-calculated delivery size category, you can adjust it yourself on your listings.
How can I update a specific listing to 'Request a quote'?
How will my payment work?
Nothing has changed for you as a seller. When you confirm your order, you will add your delivery cost as usual.
Vinterior note: Please be aware that if you list your items with 'Free Delivery,' you cannot adjust your delivery cost post-sale.
