Allowing Delivery only to ONE City
Hi, I have some tyres I've listed to sell, which I can deliver personally within my local city area, or they can pick it up from me. I have the pickup options set fine, but I don't know how to set my postage preferences to only be available to my city. I don't want to do freight as its a pain, but would like local buyers to see that I can deliver without having to reach out and then I tell them.
Thanks!

·2 years agoIf you are thinking of charging for delivery when the option is for you to drop off the item to your buyer, that’s a bad idea. You won’t have tracking information to show delivery status (as you would have if you used a courier or AP); that leaves you without seller protection or defence in the event of an NRI claim by a buyer.
If a buyer can’t pick up, then I strongly suggest you have a delivery option through AP or a reliable courier.
lf you offer local pickup, then you’ll get a QR code to scan from the buyer (if they pre-pay by any of the payment methods that are covered under the MBG), which is proof of collection. If the buyer prefers to pay cash on pickup, the buyer can’t claim under the MBG. Either way, as long as you follow proper procedure, this should be safe in terms of false claims.
The main caution I’d advise is to stipulate a place of collection that is safe - e.g., next to a police station.
Setting delivery to one city or area… This link tells you how to go about setting up exclusion areas:

OP2 years agoI was more thinking of doing free delivery around my area, because these are bulky items, but maybe I'll stick with @davewil1964 suggestion of just reaching out. Then it would be more protected. Alrighty, thanks guys 🙂
