LitBuy shipping is less about following steps and more about making a few good decisions. Your items wait in LitBuy's warehouse until you ask for them to be sent, and each decision you make at that point shapes the cost and the journey. Here they are, in the order you will face them.
Decision one: ship now, or wait?
If every item you want together has arrived and looks right in its photos, the haul is ready and there is little to gain from waiting. If one item is still on its way, think about how much you want it in this parcel. Waiting a little can save you paying for a second shipment later; waiting indefinitely for a slow seller usually is not worth it. Any item that left you with doubts after the QC photos should stay out until you have resolved them with LitBuy.
Decision two: how much packaging?
Carriers generally consider both weight and size when pricing a parcel, so volume matters. Shoes in their boxes, structured bags and anything in a hard case take up space quickly, while soft clothing barely adds to the box. When you submit the parcel, LitBuy shows the packaging and protection choices available. Choose based on what your items need. Fragile pieces may justify extra protection, while removing unneeded boxes can make the parcel noticeably more compact.
Decision three: one parcel or two?
Most hauls ship best as one parcel. A very heavy or oversized haul, though, may fit more lines if split. LitBuy lets you compare, so check both totals before settling.
Decision four: which line?
LitBuy lists the lines that can deliver your parcel to your country. Compare them on price and estimates, but read the restrictions before anything else. Some lines will not accept batteries, liquids, powders or magnets, and some limit size, weight or particular goods. If your haul contains electronics or cosmetics, that should narrow your choice early. Keep in mind that the price you see in LitBuy is the only accurate one, since it depends on your destination, the line and your packed parcel.
Decision five: is everything ready to pay?
Before confirming, check the delivery address, including any flat number and a phone number for the courier. Confirm that the right items are selected. See whether a shipping coupon applies. Then compare the final figure on the payment screen with what you expected.
After the decisions: following the parcel
Once packed and handed over, the parcel gets a tracking number. It is common for updates to stop for several days while the parcel clears export or import processing. Import duties and taxes, if any apply, are set by your own country; your customs authority can tell you more. Keep your parcel number and tracking number handy, and if the box arrives damaged, photograph it before opening and contact LitBuy support.
