Shipping Guide
Shipping precious gear can be daunting. Luckily, we're experts on the subject and happy to share our knowledge! Here are some quick links to get you started:
What to Expect
Before a Sale
When you're listing an item on Reverb, you'll be able to estimate the shipping cost using the Shipping Estimator at the bottom of the page. It's up to you whether or not you want to charge a flat rate for shipping or calculate it for each individual listing.
After a Sale
Shipping labels and shipping materials can be purchased on Reverb after you sell an item. Damage and signature insurance for the full value of the item are also available for purchase.

International Shipping
You can now purchase international shipping labels directly on Reverb. We’ve streamlined all the customs forms to make shipping around the world via USPS, DHL, and UPS a simple click-and-print process.
International labels are available on any item under $2,500 USD. As with all other shipping labels purchased through Reverb, your shipment is safeguarded through our Reverb Shipping Protection. If your package runs into any issues, simply contact our friendly support team and we’ll get your claim quickly processed.
Reverb Shipping Protection
Protect yourself if your package is lost or damaged during shipment. Buy with a Reverb Shipping Label for only a fraction of your gear's sale price.
If your item is damaged or lost during shipment and you've purchased Reverb Shipping Protection with a Reverb Shipping Label, we'll cover the cost of repairs or reimburse you for the sale amount. Buying Shipping Protection is required when purchasing a Reverb shipping label for items with a sale price between $1500 USD and $10,000 USD. Neither Shipping Protection nor Reverb Shipping Labels are available for items with a sale price of $10,000 or more.
All inquiries can be made through Reverb's simple online form. Deal directly with our responsive and friendly support team to get reimbursed quickly.
