Understanding Delivery Fees

On VendHype, sellers set their own delivery fees for each item based on location and shipping preferences.

How Delivery Fees Work on VendHype

City Delivery
Local delivery within the same city

Sellers set delivery fees for shipments within their city or metropolitan area. These fees typically reflect the cost of local courier services or the seller's own delivery expenses.

National Delivery
Delivery anywhere within the same country

For shipping to other cities or regions within the same country, sellers set appropriate national delivery rates based on distance, weight, and their preferred shipping carrier.

International Delivery
Shipping to other countries

Some sellers offer international shipping options with fees that account for cross-border shipping costs, customs fees, and longer delivery times.
