Mercari Shipping USPS ?

Being a seller on the Mercari app allowed me to understand how shipping items to my customers works through USPS.

Before I go in to the details of Mercari Shipping USPS, I want to explain what Mercari is, what USPS is, and how they work together.

1- What is Mercari?

Mercari is a selling app that makes it easy to sell and buy almost anything, I say it with confidence because I use the platform to sell my merchandise – I simply love it.

Mercari allows its users to sell things that they never used or don’t use anymore with ease. It gives them the power to simply sell it, ship it, and earn some cash for it.

2- What is USPS?

USPS is The United States Postal Service, also known as Post Office, U.S. Mail, or Postal Service.

Most of the online marketplaces offer their sellers multiple options for shipping, I ship all my items using USPS, not only because I know everybody at my local post office, but because I have never lost a package sent to a customer.

3- How does Mercari Shipping work?

Your item’s sold. Time to ship. Mercari will email you a printable shipping label (unless you select to ship on your own).

The app will send you a notification asking you to ship the item you sold within 3 business days, and provide you with the suggested shipping label based on the item weight, packaging, and the size of the box.

I prefer The Mercari prepaid label, because the app offers low, fixed rates with USPS or FedEx for packages weighing up to 150 lbs.
