How do I ship multiple boxes for a buyback order?

There is indeed an option to separate the books in your buyback order between several boxes. Please note that shipping labels are generated automatically by taking into account the total weight of the books in the order. The option to generate additional labels appears when the overall weight of the order exceeds 40 lbs.

Additionally, the weight limit for each package must not exceed 70 lbs. If the weight distribution for your order surpasses this limit, the BooksRun system will generate multiple labels automatically to accommodate the division.

Moreover, the number of labels is also calculated by the system based on the total weight of the books quoted in the order.

For multi-box shipments over 40 lbs, only FedEx Ground shipping labels can be provided.

You can find the total estimated weight of your package in your shipping details:

In case your order is over 40 lbs, you will find an option to generate multiple shipping labels via "Make extra labels" button under the "Get label QR code" button.

To generate a QR code, click on the blue 'Get label QR code' button on the BooksRun website. Select your preferred mail carrier (e.g., USPS or FedEx), choose if you wish to insure the shipment, and confirm. This will generate either a QR code for in-store printing or a printable label.

Note: the option to get more labels will not become available until you generate at least 1 shipping label by clicking "Get label QR code" button. As soon as the first label is generated, you will be able to make more.

Each label gets a separate QR code. And each label needs to be printed separately.

You cannot use one label multiple times. Each shipping label provided can only be used once for one shipment.

In case you changed your mind about using multiple labels, you can remove a label from your order by clicking the trash can button in the top right corner next to the QR code instructions.

In case you need to use multiple shipping labels for your order and there is no option to generate additional labels, you may contact our customer support team via our chat widget. Please state your order number and the exact number of shipping labels you need.
