How is a lot shipped?

Updated October 24, 2026

What a lot is

A lot is a combined offer a buyer builds from 2 or more items from the same seller, up to 20, from their profile. The seller accepts, counters or declines it.

To join a lot, each piece must be for sale with a price and have a weight. The whole lot can weigh at most 30 kg. Offers-only items cannot be added.

One parcel

A lot ships as a single parcel. Checkout says so clearly: "All N items ship together in one parcel."

The lot parcel

When you accept or counter a lot with Colectin Shipping, you confirm the real weight and box of that single parcel in the Lot parcel form: weight in kg, length, width and height in cm. The form is pre-filled from the items, with 500 g per piece when a weight is missing.

Parcel rules: the weight may go up, but never below the sum of the pieces. The maximum is 30 kg, the Correos limit. The box is free size and must fit within the national Correos limits.

When the buyer sees the shipping

The buyer sees the lot shipping at checkout, quoted from the confirmed parcel to their real destination. Before payment there is no estimate, and the summary shows the parcel weight and measurements.

Large boxes are billed by volume even when light. If the parcel you hand over is heavier or bigger than declared, the carrier may add a surcharge that is deducted from the sale.

FAQs on this topic

How much does shipping cost?

With Colectin Shipping the buyer pays the carrier's rate and chooses the cheapest or the fastest option. With Manual shipping, the seller sets the package price, or can offer free shipping and ship at their own cost. Read shipping settings.

Which shipping modes are there?

There are three: Colectin Shipping (carrier-quoted, with automatic label and tracking), Manual (with your own carrier) and meetup. Each piece can have its own, and the mode your new pieces use by default is set in Default shipping mode. Read shipping modes.

How do I hand over my parcel with Colectin Shipping?

Colectin buys the label automatically after payment; you download or print it from the order, in A4 or A6. You drop the parcel at any Correos office or at a Citypaq, if the label's service allows it. Read shipping modes.

How long do I have to ship, and what happens if I do not ship in 7 days?

You have 7 calendar days to get the parcel moving: with Colectin Shipping they count from when the label is created, and with your own carrier, from payment. Colectin does not cancel the order automatically; an admin reviews it and can cancel it with a full refund to the buyer. Read shipping within 7 days.

How do I track my order?

With Colectin Shipping you see Estimated arrival, a date range counting business days from when the carrier receives the parcel. With your own carrier you see the carrier and the tracking link, and you follow the parcel on the carrier's page. Read tracking and arrival.
