It’s time to start Smart Shipping

You came to Catawiki to sell objects, not spend time shipping them. So let us handle the annoying bits. Generating labels, creating shipping accounts, finding the best-value carrier. All those little things that add up to lots of time and money. Smart shipping will do all that and more for you. At no extra cost. And it’s been proven to increase sale price and sell rate.

Automatic label generation and tracking

As soon your object sells, a shipping label is generated and tracking updates are shared along the way. No need to spend time creating separate shipping accounts, buying labels or manually inputting tracking information. 

Best-value carrier selection

Smart shipping automatically selects the best-value carrier for your object. It uses price, object size and destination to find the right match.

Shipping pricing that help you sell

The transparent shipping price leaves buyers with more budget for bidding. They can also help your objects sell for more, sell more often and reduce the chance of shipments being cancelled.

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 use the weight, dimensions, origin and destination of the package to show the buyer the cheapest rates from different shipping companies. Once a buyer has paid, shipping costs are transferred directly to the shipping company and sellers will then receive a ready-to-print shipping label to use on their package. See shipping prices per shipping company.
We make it easy to ship with reliable shipping companies in your country. When you submit an object to sell, you’ll select the shipping companies you want to use. Note: Different shipping companies have different services, insurance policies, shipping points, and guidelines. It’s important to read through the terms and conditions of each. We partner with shipping companies to provide reduced rates, so buyers can save on shipping. This can help attract higher bids.
You will need to have access to a printer to print the shipping label and some tape to place it on your package. Then it’s ready to ship!
At the moment, you can do so with manual shipping. We are working on making it possible with smart shipping – we’ll let sellers know once this becomes available with both shipping methods.

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

If you use smart shipping and an issue arises, get in touch with us and we’ll investigate the issue with the shipping company on your behalf. That way, any problems can be resolved as quickly as possible. With manual shipping, you’ll need to get in touch with the shipping company yourself.
Shipping restrictions vary by shipping provider. As a general rule, flammable materials and illegal/prohibited items are not allowed. For large, bulky items, please opt for manual shipping instead. For more information on restrictions and dimension limits, please check with your chosen shipping provider(s).

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.
