Cheapest Shipping for Grailed Sellers

Ship designer menswear and streetwear for less

Bottom Line
Grailed sellers can protect their margins on designer items by shipping for less.
Grailed's built-in USPS labels are convenient but don't always offer the best rate. For sellers moving high-value menswear and streetwear, saving $2-5 per shipment on already-expensive items helps protect your profit margins.

How Shipping Works on Grailed

Grailed is a curated marketplace for men's clothing, focusing on designer, streetwear, and vintage pieces. When an item sells, Grailed offers built-in USPS shipping labels that sellers can purchase through the platform. The buyer typically pays shipping, and Grailed takes a commission on the sale. Most Grailed items are clothing and accessories that ship in poly mailers or small boxes. While the built-in labels are simple to use, Grailed's platform doesn't let sellers compare rates across multiple carriers, potentially leaving savings on the table, especially on heavier items like boots, outerwear, or bundled orders.

Common Shipping Frustrations

Grailed's commission plus overpriced shipping cuts into margins on designer pieces
Built-in labels are USPS only, missing cheaper FedEx and UPS options for heavier clothing items
Heavier items like boots, leather jackets, and outerwear cost significantly more to ship at standard rates
International shipping options are limited and expensive through Grailed's built-in system
