How do I enable shipping with Carousell Official Delivery?
1. Upon listing an item, enable the ‘Buy’ button.
2. Under Deal method, select “Carousell Official Delivery”
3. A base delivery fee is charged by the weight of the parcel. You can choose to pay for delivery or pass on the fee to your buyer. If you choose to pay for the delivery, the fee will be deducted from your earnings.
How do I ship out the order?
You can choose to ship out your order by scheduling a pick-up or dropping off your parcel at your nearest Ninja Points or SingPost POPStations/POPStops.
To schedule a pick-up
Ensure that your pick-up address is updated. Select a pick-up date and indicate if you would like to print your own shipping label or have the courier print it for you. Additional fees will be charged for pick-up and label printing service which will be deducted from your earnings. (You may refer to the table below this page for the pricing breakdown)
Only submit the pick-up request when your parcel is ready as you will not be able to change the pick-up location and date after the request has been submitted.
If you print the shipping label on your own, tap on ‘View shipping label’ to print and save it in your photos/ drive. Seal your item(s) securely in a single box or polymailer and attach the label securely (remove all other labels - if any).
If you request for the shipping label to be printed, write down the Tracking ID on your package for the courier to identify your package and print the label on your behalf. You may find the tracking ID under Pick-up details in your Order details page.
We recommend that you leave your parcel at a safe and visible location at your doorstep for the courier to collect if you are not at home.
You may refer to a more detailed packaging guideline in J&T's packing guidelines:
To drop off your parcel
Ensure that you seal your item(s) in a single box or poly mailer and ensure that they conform to the max dimensions. Confirm your return address (in case of unfulfilled delivery or return requests) and proceed to generate the shipping label and attach it securely to your parcel (remove all other labels - if any). Note that there will not be any label printing service for drop-off except for SingPost POPStations*.
*Refer to this guide to print your shipping label at SingPost POPStations
Check your nearest POPStations/POPStops at post offices/Ninja Points location and drop off the parcel before the cut-off date to avoid cancellation of order.
Track your parcel
You can track your parcel status from your Order details once the shipping is initiated. Tracking details may take up to one day to update for drop-offs at SingPost letterboxes.
If your pick-up was delayed or if you missed the pick-up window, the courier will reschedule your pick-up to the next working day. You can track the delivery status on your Order Details Page.
What happens if I would like to change my pick-up date?
Once the pick-up request has been submitted, you will not be able to cancel the order. The courier will make 3 attempts to pick up your parcel, before the order becomes canceled.
What happens if I would like to change my pick-up location?
If you are not at home (or at the pick-up location) during the pick-up, you may choose to leave the parcel at a visible and safe location for the delivery personnel to pick-up from. The delivery personnel will give you a call if they are unable to locate your parcel at the mobile number that you have provided during checkout.
