Combining separate purchases on Poshmark?! Whaaaaaat?!?!
I’ve been selling on PM for ~6 years, but taking it seriously for the last few. I learned TODAY there is an option combine shipping, if a buyer completes multiple purchases separately!!!!
The lack of this option was always a huge headache! I always wanted to offer combining so the buyer doesn’t pay multiple shipping charges unnecessarily, but that required canceling both orders and having the buyer re-purchase. Sometimes I would ask but wouldn’t get a response, so I was in limbo not knowing if I should ship or wait. Other times they would say yes, but then wouldn’t re-purchase so I’d lose both sales. Any way you look at it, it was annoying!!
I can’t believe I just learned of this today. Not sure how long it’s been available, but I wanted to share in case there were others who were also unaware!!
Rules— (they are specific!)
- You must combine within 24 hours of the first purchase
- Can be applied to any items purchased within those 24 hours
- Must allow 3 hours to pass after last purchase before combining
- You can only combine once (if you combine and then they purchase additional item, you’re out of luck!)
- Poshmark will refund the extra shipping to the buyer once the combined order is delivered
- Same 5 lb. limit applies
How to do it—
- Go to an order page of the items you want to combine
- Click on “flag” at the top that says “combine eligible orders” or there should be an option after selecting “Multiple Shipping Label Options”
- Confirm items
- You will receive a new label for combined items!\
*Original labels will no longer work
You can do all this without discussing with the buyer, if desired!
This was a bug functionality upgrade that I can’t believe I missed. I hope you’ve known but if you haven’t, now you do!
