[eBay Plus] 3x Free Sendle Labels for eBay Plus Members until 31/03 @ eBay Australia

1680

Huge credits to @nicholasv for discovering this deal when he went to print a label for an item he sold.


I can't seem to find the T&Cs for whatever reason but I am confident all eBay Plus members should have this promo automatically on their accounts. I have checked all of my accounts and they all have the promo automatically applied. See here

You can check with the following instructions via the eBay website:

  1. View your orders here (or on the eBay app, go to 'Selling' tab, then 'Sold'

  2. Click on one of your orders and click on "Purchase another label". You should see the promo under the 'Services' section where you choose your courier service and it should say in green text:

    3 FREE Sendle labels for eBay Plus members until 31/03


Again, thanks to Nick and enjoy :)

    Rip just gave AusPost $12 two days ago…

    • +10

      Only started today I think, so you can sleep easy tonight!

      • I see it in my dashboard though :'(. I need some on fee promo to sell some hard duty monitor arms lol

    • +8

      As a seller and buyer of eBay, I always advise against Sendle aka CourierPlease.
      Lost 2 of my parcels within a span of 1 month. Their deliveries take longer, often without providing proper tracking updates.
      Switched to AUSPOST permanently, no regrets.

  • +4

    Doesn't appear to have a limit to weight or size either (outside of Sendle's standard guidelines), so if you've got anything heavy which you've been avoiding posting because of the postage cost, then now might be the time to reconsider. Bye bye brand new vinyl players which have been in the garage for a couple months 😂

    • +4

      Yes, as long as it's up to 25 kg and max volume 0.1m³.

    • +1

      All of AusPost satchels have a 5-kg limit,
      ie. if you can stuff it inside -and- it's under 5-kg, AusPost will accept it.

      Also, AusPost is cheaper than Sendle when you're sending to regional parts of Australia.

      • +1

        That’s correct! For regional, Auspost is cheaper and safer

  • +11

    Now we just need the 3x free FVF listings to go with it.

    • We got 5x now.

  • When listing your item on ebay is there any way to post with sendle with "calculated:cost varies based on buyer location"? I can only select sendle when I choose "flat rate:same cost regardless of buyer location".

    • Sendle will come up as an option (regardless of calculated/flat) IF they service the area. It’ll only be seen when the buyer has paid and your about to print the label.

      • +1

        I had Sendle as an option for posting an item, and it turned out they didn’t actually service the area at all. They gave the parcel to a third party who then claimed they dropped it at the local post office and… that was it. The box was never seen or heard from again.

        • +2

          All Sendle deliveries are passed onto third parties. Couriers Please and Aramex

          • @I Smell Pennies: Couriers Please and Aramex are the standard couriers Sendle uses, but yeah they are technically third-party couriers. Specifically I mean from Couriers Please it was punted off to a third-party courier (I guess at this point a fourth party) and then it went AWOL.

    • Within AU, I just put a fixed cost for shipping,
      knowing that AusPost and Sendle are pretty similar in price,
      because I already I know which AusPost satchel I will use.

      However, Sendle is more expensive to send to regional parts of Australia,
      so, I've been inclining to use AusPost more these days.

      To depend on Sendle means, you have to rely on their couriers to pick up from your place
      or pick up from their nominated pick-up locations, etc. etc… and AusPost hast been OK, even if they're sometimes slow.

      • Its depends on location with sendle but can never get Aramex to collect. Couriers please will always collect. Aramex tend to do the regional ones which is where the prices go up.

  • +1

    I'm getting the 'something went wrong' message when I try to generate a label

    • I've had the same issue previously. I've tried to use the "first Sendle label on ebay is free" promotion previously but every time I click generate a label, I get the 'something went wrong' error message. Have contacted live chat several times about this but they're useless. They keep saying that they're working to fix it but it never gets fixed

      • I think that error happens when the buyer has an address that sendle doesn't deliver to (usually an Australia Post PO box)? The worst thing is that even if you list the item as a sendle delivery the buyer can still buy the item and you have no way of posting the item with sendle).

        • You can restrict sending to PO Boxes, but doesn't mean all addresses will be fine to send via Sendle

    • +1

      If you check their address sometimes buyers put the City in the suburb field eg. Sydney/Melbourne etc instead of the actual suburb so the postcode doesn't match the city postcode and therefore can't generate a label. That's my experience anyway.

  • +2

    Good deal, but free shipping kills it

    • -1

      free shipping kills it

      ???

      • Free shipping kills the 0% variable fee

  • +6

    Sendle is so slow in delivering. Took them a month when I've used them for WA and QLD

    • +4

      Sendle is not great (and dearer) for regionals. Metros, especially in NSW and VIC are usually very fast.

      • +2

        And also, Couriers Please for me has always been on time. Aramex is just terrible to the point they dont even pickup my parcels

        • +1

          Agree - Aramex never come - have to always cancel and resend via Auspost

      • sometimes they're fast in the cities other times they can be very slow

  • +11

    Sendle are absolute rubbish and I wouldn’t use them for free or even if you paid me.
    They held a parcel I sent for delivery at one of their pickup points for 2 weeks, kept saying they were going to pick it up ‘tomorrow’.
    The buyer was rightly so on my back about where the goods were that they’d paid for.
    In the end, only lodging a lost item claim with eBay got the parcel actually picked up. Then about a week later they managed to get it to the recipient.
    About a week after that they emailed me to tell me they’d delivered it.

    • +6

      Similar thing happened to me. In the end I retrieved the package and had to send it Australia Post Express at my expense. Fool me once.

    • +1

      I used to have great service with Sendle - locally & internationally.
      I've had amazing next-day service from SYD to MEL, just paying normal package rates,
      but
      I've had terrible service sending a very small parcel (size of 3x pack of cigarettes),
      over 14-km within Sydney metropolitan suburbs, ie. they lost the parcel and it took a total of about 12+ days to arrive.

      The other thing is, eBay are muscling in on the delivery business,
      and want to monopolize this, away from AusPost…and I fear it will become like the eBay USA system,
      where the sellers are so reliant on the whole "Global Shipping Program",
      that they get so dumbed down to using only 1 method of packaging & shipping, and it's annoying as a buyer,…haha

  • +1

    Saved $25!

    • You’re welcome

      • +2

        To be honest, I actually found the deal while getting a package ready to ship. Just came here to comment.

  • +8

    I will never trust Sendle after they lost a package I sent, 'found' it a week later and then promptly lost it again. That was in the first week of November last year and I'm still chasing them for compensation.

  • God dammit. Just postrd something for $42 yesterday but could have waited until today and to rub salt in posted 2 more things today at $36 and $16. F

  • So these labels you just print them from eBay account still onto parcels but how do you actually post them? Log a request via sendle and someone pick up?

    • +1

      If you don't have a printer or cannot print,
      you can write down a code that eBay will give you,
      and you write this code on your package.

      Sendle will pick up and from this code, generate/print the label for you.

    • On the labels page, you choose whether you want pickup (free) from the courier or whether you want to drop off at a sendle location

      • For some reason it seems that writing the code is only an option if you are having something picked up, and not sending from a drop off centre. I don't know why this would matter, you rpbably could still do it

  • +5

    Have used Sendle a few times and don't recommend it if you want your parcel to arrive on time. Parcel to the same state took 1 month to deliver.

  • +10

    Sendle will take your booking even if they have no available subcontractor to make pick/up delivery.

    If you a lucky and have a good Aramex/Couriers Please franchisee in your area it can sometimes work out better than Auspost, but you are running the guantlet.

    I think they are an abysmal company… YMMV.

    • +4

      Sendle will take your booking even if they have no available subcontractor to make pick/up delivery.

      This.

    I've found Sendle to be quite decent, between the capital cities of NSW and VIC.

    I've sent even a bicycle rack, all packaged up, via Sendle, and they've been great,
    and also sent internationally to the USA, without any fuss.

    I've also had odd instances and weird situations, where Sendle have 'lost' packages,
    eg. within Sydney metro, etc.
    ( I can't remember the examples, but I remember feelings about Sendle,..hah)

    These days, I just send via AusPost regular/express satchel, knowing the price of sending it anywhere in Australia,
    rather than Sendle charging me extra afterwards, because I breached their weight and/or cubing measurements.

    I actually have kitchen scales at home, when weighing up items to calculate postage…haha

    With Sendle, you just need to print the labels yourself,
    or eBay has made it easier now, where you just write down the 'code',
    and Sendle do the printing of the label for you.
    Still, you rely on someone coming to your residence to pick up the item, etc…so you can leave the items outside your door, etc.
    Otherwise, you take it to their drop-off points, eg. some convenience store, etc.. .and they pick it up from there.

  • Purchase another label?

    I don't have this option at all, I am an eBay plus member

    • Have you sold anything?

      • 14 sales today so yes

        • Then try to purchase a label and see if the promo is there

          • @I Smell Pennies: Nope, sendlr has been grayed out, only Australia post available

            • @Aerith-Waifu: When it's a PO Box/Parcel Collect address or an area where their couriers don't deliver they grey out the Sendle options. Other than that not sure why it would be greyed out maybe get on eBay chat and see if they can help.

  • +3

    Used the free Sendle label for a recent sale and all very smooth. Arrived at buyers address (same state) the next day.

  • Please don't use Aramex FFS.

  • I haven't sold anything on ebay for a while? I can't see the purchase another label button? is there another way or do i have to sell something first?

    • If you're an eBay Plus member you should have it. I'm unsure how to check if you've never sold anything before

  • +1

    This is also a good promo:

    Sendle is terrible, for the sake of my buyers I wouldn't even use them for free

  • Have been using Sendle for metro deliveries and so far no issues. The caveat is I've always dropped them off at the local pick up point - tried using their home pick up service and the courier never came even after sending me a confirmation that someone was going to. Never again.

    • +1

      Yeah that's happened multiple times to me. The pickup service is notoriously unreliable. I've sent a few hundred packages using sendle. Mostly when it has been 50% off and free. It has worked fine so far. Best to use the drop off service.

  • I have used sendle twice, both times they were crap, but today my item was picked up immediately.

    I did write in the pick up notes 'someone always home and we have a camera so will know if you attempted pick up"

  • Is it to any address or only an order address?

  • Is it possible to get the free labels without having sold any items previously on eBay?

    • +1

      This is an exclusive promo between eBay and Sendle. You’ll need to sell something so you can print a label for that sold item only. Every Plus member should have the promo applied to their accounts. If you haven’t sold anything yet and end up selling something in the next few days, you will get 3x free labels as per the promo

      • +1

        Thank you! @I Smell Pennies

  • We need T&Cs. What do we screenshot and send to customer support when we don't get it?

    • Every person I’ve asked has got it when they checked their account

  • I’m eBay plus and don’t have this

    • Have you sold something?

      • Yes sold a lot - I keep sending via Sendle parcel but it’s not free

  • Do we buy these ahead of time, or does it have to associate with a specific sale?

    • You can use it for any 3 of your sales

      • Ok that makes sense and is what I would have expected

  • It worked for me a few days ago but now the option is greyed saying "we couldn't get a quote for this service". Maybe the location as I'm trying to send to Kurunjang VIC wherever that is.

    • I got a question. How does charging someone for postage and claiming this work? or do you offer free shipping?

      • It doesn't matter whether you offer free shipping or not. This deal is claimable for any 3 orders as long as Sendle services that address and the address is not a PO box

        • What happens to the postage then if you charged them? Basically covering if they ain't serviced by sendle.

          • +1

            @Sheng: Whatever you charge them, you get to keep. Whatever cost you endure (no matter if you send through Sendle or Auspost or other) that is your expense. If you charged $15 postage and you used a free Sendle label, then you profit $15. If Sendle charged you $20, well you lose $5. One way or another, you need to find a way to get the parcel to the customer.

    • now the option is greyed saying "we couldn't get a quote for this service"

      Is it a PO box? Sendle does not send to Post Office Boxes. If this isn't the case, maybe the address is not serviced by Sendle atm

      • Na its not working for everything for some reason… worked once and now sendle is just permanently greyed out for the last 5 or so different orders.

  • Has anyone posted more than 3 items with sendle this month? Can they confirm that you get charged for the 4th sendle delivery?

    • interested to find out as well. I have had more than 3 for free when it said 3 free shipping.

  • The sendle option is not showing up for me now. Just sold 2 items. Would have been nice to have gotten this.

    Just used the one sendle label previously this month. :( Any ideas what's wrong?

    Edit: It was a PO box address so all good :(

  • +1

    Can anyone else still see this promotion? I had two of these left and just sold an item to find it's no longer there? Pretty shitty to pull it early eBay

    • +1

      Same issue here. I had two free labels remaining and sold an item today but now doesn't show as free postage.

      Try using their online support chat and use the screenshot in the description above to show the promotion ends on 31/3. I've normally had good experiences getting a voucher or postage reimbursed when these things happen.

      • +3

        I’ve marked this deal as expired due to eBay sneakily adjusting the promotion end date from 31st March to 20 March. Yesterday was the last day as per revised terms

    • Yeah "King Tightarse" noticed that they changed the date a couple of days ago and the free postage stopped today. I removed all my free postage items last night just in case.

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/760938

  • Bastards ended the promo early. How disingenuous

  • +6

    Holy CRAP! I sold something yesterday and was devo to see this promo had ended. Went back to check the labels again just in case it was magically back…10 FREE AUSTRALIA POST LABELS BEFORE 31/3?!?! I had to wipe my eyes like a precocious child in a fantasy film!
    Anyway, can someone else please post this deal, as I’ve never posted one and can’t handle the pressure.
    I /leant find T&C’s, but I took screenshots.
