AniThrift uses Shippo for live carrier rates at checkout and printable shipping labels for sellers.
Enter your shipping address at checkout. Live rates from USPS, UPS, and FedEx are fetched via Shippo based on the seller's location and your package weight.
Shipping is added to your Stripe payment along with the item cost. Buyers always pay shipping at checkout based on live carrier rates.
If your cart includes items from multiple sellers, you will complete a separate checkout for each seller.
Set your ship-from address under Account → Addresses before listing. Choose an accurate package weight when creating listings so buyers see correct rates.
After a sale, open Seller hub (/sales). Paid orders appear under Awaiting shipment - create a Shippo label, print it, and ship. Tracking is shared with the buyer automatically until delivery.
Rates shown at checkout are live quotes from Shippo. The buyer-selected rate is stored on the order so you can purchase the matching label in one click.
Contact the seller first through messages if there is a delay or problem. AniThrift can help mediate disputes but is not the carrier. For payment disputes, refer to Stripe and our Terms of Service.
