Shipping amounts on all items sold by BigBuyCity vary from item to item. All shipping amounts are listed in the auction. Many items at BigBuyCity have free shipping promotions. Feel free to take advantage of these whenever possible. You will see a marking that says FREE SHIPPING in any of those auctions. The shipping listed in every auction is the standard US flat shipping rate and is effective for physical addresses in the 48 contingent states. Additional shipping fees apply to anyone outside of the 48 contingent states and to anyone inside the 48 contingent states that provides a PO Box for an address.

BigBuyCity typically ships via UPS ground or UPS Mail Innovations to a physical continental US address, providing fast, traceable and insured shipments. The shipping is listed in the auction both at the top and at the bottom of the listing. There are occasions when we use USPS, and when we do so shipping is adjusted accordingly.

Oversized items, and extremely heavy items such as TVs, Refrigerators, Wine Coolers and others, are shipped via AIT WORLDWIDE shipping and are handled more carefully to insure safe delivery Tracking is available on these packages as well. These shipments are available to US customers shipping to a physical address only, and it should be marked in the listing when necessary.

BigBuyCity ships via USPS to PO Boxes and Military addresses; however, there is an additional fee for these types of shipments.  There is an additional fee for Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and Puerto Rico as well. Orders to the previous destinations can ship with any of the above methods depending on weight, location and price. The additional payment table is below.

Prices in this chart are in ADDITION to any listed shipping that is already in the auction. For example, if the shipping is free, just add the amount below. If the shipping is 19.90 add the amount below pertaining to your order.

If you have a question of what type of shipping your order needs you can contact one of our support representatives through eBay, and they can assist you to the best of their ability.

The shipping amount listed in the auction is not negotiable; however, if you live close by, or are doing a package deal and would like a small discount you are certainly entitled to a break.

In a case where the incorrect shipping is paid, the additional shipping will be sent to you as a Paypal invoice and your order will be held until the correct full payment has been received.

 

A tracking number will be uploaded to eBay automatically when your item ships; however, sometimes can be delayed slightly. If you did not receive a tracking number and believe your item has shipped, please contact us with your shipping name and eBay item number and we would be happy to retrieve it and forward it to you. Please note that the email address we have on record in our database to contact you with is the email address submitted with payment. This means if you have a different email for Paypal and for eBay, we will be contacting you at your Paypal email address. If you would like an alternate email address to be your main contact with BigBuyCity, please include the email address in the notes with your payment and we will be happy to use the email address of your choice.

 

We do combine shipping if the items are paid for in one payment. There is usually a standard discount of 8 dollars off the shipping on each additional payment. This applies to any standard delivery in the continental United States. For PO Boxes, Alaska, Hawaii, PR and International packages, we can give small discounts for combined shipping, but rates vary so contact a support representative so they can total up a discount for you. If you pay in separate payments, we cannot combine the shipping costs for lower rates. Items that ship in more than one box, oversized items, or package deals that need multiple packages must be handled on a case by case basis and may not be eligible for the full discount.

 

Unfortunately, we cannot allow pick-ups at this time. We are under contract with our warehouse to ship all items with them, since they handle, package, box, store and insure our products. However, we can give a small discount if you live close by. You will find that addresses close to us get delivered via standard shipping in 1-3 days. 

 

We do offer Expedited Shipping via UPS Air. Upgrades in shipping may be selected and paid for at the time of purchase. This is available on most items. Items with Get It Fast via UPS 2 day are listed all over our store. For other situations to get express shipping please email us through eBay.

 

Shipping for our auctions is a flat fee and includes all handling, insurance, packaging and shipping of an item. We try to be as fair as possible when calculating shipping prices. If there is a listing where you feel the shipping amount is high, check the total price of the auction to see if you are still getting value. If you are not getting the value you like, or think shipping is unfair in any way, please do not click buy it now.

 

Items are very carefully packaged by our trained service department. All items are shipped in satisfactory condition.

If you have made an error in your shipping address, please contact us ASAP. If your order has already been shipped, there may be a fee assessed for the address correction. We can only correct addresses that are shipped via UPS and it is not always possible to correct. If the item comes back to us due to incorrect address, we will ship one more time free of charge in most cases. This only applies to physical addresses in the continental United States; all other address would be responsible to repay the shipping fee in order to get their item reshipped. Any address given to us for USPS cannot be changed and the customer is responsible for any additional shipping fees or lost items.

We must be notified of damage to a package on delivery within 3 business days in order to file the insurance claim. Please note that insurance claims can take 2-4 weeks to process. In some cases we can expedite the process, but in most cases, it takes that much time to determine fault and get reimbursed by the insurance company so please be patient as we are working very hard to get any claim filed and paid as quickly as possible. Once again, for any problem with a shipment please contact us through eBay so that we might resolve it to mutual benefit.

 

BigBuyCity does not drop ship items in most cases.

BigBuyCity does ship from several warehouses around the country. We have our main warehouse in Brooklyn NY. We have 3 other warehouses on the east coast and we have a warehouse in the Midwest as well. Items can ship from anyone of these locations, but there should be no difference in processing time no matter which warehouse your item ships from.
