1. Delivering Your Items

Sellers are responsible for dispatching their sold items to buyers. If you’re using a delivery or fulfilment service, please keep in mind that you are ultimately responsible for making sure that your buyers receive their orders.

By selling on InLoaf, you agree to:

Provide an accurate “dispatches from” address.
Specify your postage costs and processing times in your listings.
Dispatch items promptly after they are sold. Prompt delivery means that you dispatch each item within 30 days of purchase, unless you specify otherwise in your processing time or agree to a different delivery period with the buyer through Messages. Before you update your processing time for a specific order, you must first obtain your buyer’s consent.
Comply with all local and international delivery and customs regulations. We know that delivery and customs regulations can be tough to read, so check out these Help articles on international delivery using United States Postal Service (USPS), Canada Post, Royal Mail, Australia Post, Global Postal Shipping, and Yakit Delivery Partners. E. Dispatch to the address listed on the InLoaf receipt.
Mark the order as dispatched when you dispatch it, or use a postage label purchased on InLoaf, which automatically marks your order as dispatched. Remember that you may only mark an order as dispatched after you actually have dispatched it. When you mark an order as dispatched, the buyer will receive a notification.
Charge an appropriate amount for postage. US and Canadian sellers may be able to use calculated postage to have postage costs calculated automatically.

By entering tracking information or delivery confirmation on InLoaf, you’re giving us permission to collect and share this data received from your chosen delivery company with the buyer.

In the unlikely event an order does not arrive, be prepared to provide valid proof of dispatch. Valid proof of dispatch must show that the item actually was dispatched and that it was sent to the address provided on InLoaf. If a buyer does not receive their order, they may file a case against your shop. Please see this Help article to learn more about InLoaf’s case system.

But don’t fret, InLoaf offers protection to sellers who meet our Seller Protection Programme requirements. Read more about Seller Protection here.
