Shipping & packaging
US shipping coverage; no Canadian prepaid-label route established. Confirm seller-country eligibility before listing or sending goods.
Mercari’s US prepaid-label service covers shipments to and from the 50 states. This is not a Canadian shipping route. Seller-arranged shipping requires valid tracking; do not infer Canadian seller eligibility from the ability to browse listings.
