Avoid unpleasant shipping surprises

We’re all weary of reading the fine print when signing an agreement. There always seem to be extra charges that come out of nowhere, however in transport they’re most likely spelled out to you in the agreement, but you don’t really know what they mean - until you incur them.

The main additional charges to watch out for when shipping in Australia on eBay are:

• GST
• Fuel Levy
• Security surcharge
• Redelivery charge
• Redirection charge
• Return to Sender charge
• Oversize / Length surcharge
• Over Weight surcharge
• Residential delivery surcharge
• Residential pickup surcharge
• Remote Area surcharge
• Dangerous / Hazardous Goods surcharge
• Manual Consignment-note charge / non- electronic consignment fee
• Manual Handling / Depot Handling surcharge
• Under-declared item charge / Manual Measurement fee
• Waiting Time charge
• Futile Pickup charge
• Account Servicing fee
• Early Delivery charge
• Pre-alert charge
• Book-in / Time Slot Delivery charge
• Tail-Lift Truck surcharge

Dealing with a reputable and professional courier aggregator such as Smart Send can minimise - or with careful planning, help remove most of these costs for you and give you peace of mind.
