Combined shipping from one seller

Combined shipping is one of the few areas where a small curated marketplace can be genuinely better than a sprawling open one. We make it automatic.

How it works

When you add two or more items from the same seller to your cart, the cart groups them by seller and calculates shipping as one combined parcel for the group. You do not have to ask. You do not have to pay twice and hope for a refund.

The cart shows you the marginal cost of each additional item from the same seller. If a record adds €2.30 in shipping (versus €4.99 for a fresh parcel), that line is visible before you confirm.

Auctions

The same logic applies inside auction blocks. If you win multiple lots from the same seller within the same auction block, the platform automatically rolls them into a single combined-shipping order with one 48-hour payment window — instead of multiple separate transactions.

The combination is by (auction_block, seller). We do not combine across different blocks or across different sellers — the auction block is the curatorial frame, and each seller's items are their own physical parcel.

Why this matters

Records are heavy and bulky. A second record in the same parcel costs the seller almost nothing extra to ship. If a platform doesn't combine shipping, that "saving" disappears into duplicated postage and frustration. Combining shipping respects what's actually happening behind the scenes — and makes our small curated catalog worth browsing in depth.

What about different sellers?

Different sellers means different parcels. We can't combine across sellers because no one has all the records in one place. Each seller's group ships separately, with its own tracking.
