Smart Shipping: An easier way to ship your special objects
Spend less time and effort on shipping, so you can focus on your passion
Lower shipping fees means buyers are able to bid more on your special objects. Pricing is agreed with our shipping providers and is based on the exact weight and dimensions of your package.
With smart shipping, you can add insurance to cover your objects for theft, damage or loss – up to €10,000.
It only costs a small percentage of the final bid or ‘Buy Now’ price, and you can add it either during submission or after your object sells.
At the moment, selected sellers within the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Italy, Germany and Spain are eligible for smart shipping.
We’re working on rolling out smart shipping to all our sellers in the near future - we’ll let you know as soon as it’s available for you. When it’s available, you’ll see the option to use smart shipping when you submit an object.
We recommend shipping insurance so you’re covered if your object is lost, damaged or stolen in transit. With smart shipping, it’s easy to add smart shipping insurance when submitting your object or after your object is sold, and it only costs a small percentage of the final bid or buy now amount
We’ve partnered with an award-winning independent insurance partner who:
- Covers orders up to €10,000 without the usual exclusions for antiques and fragile objects (only vehicles are excluded).
- Is 20 days faster than insurance from shipping companies.
- Offers instant payment for approved claims
Yes, it’s possible to ship several items together in one package – just enable combined shipping in the submission form or in your seller profile.
Please note that there are some limitations. You can find more info here.
We’re working on making it easy to ship objects internationally with smart shipping. For now, some sellers will see guidance on what info is needed for customs and how to add it. If you’re one of these sellers, you can add customs info directly on Catawiki and then all you need to do is print and ship!
We plan to make this available for all sellers soon, so stay tuned for updates.
