Custom Shipping Tables
We provide artists who are based outside of the Rise Art Managed Shipping origin locations with a set of pre-calculated default shipping tables when they first join.
However, you may find that a custom shipping table works better for your shipping requirements.
How to create your custom shipping table
1. In your Seller Console click Shipping > Add Table.
Assign a name to your table > click Save Table.
2. Here you will be presented with our default shipping table that lists the regions that you may ship your artwork to. To keep things simple, we’d recommend setting up costs for the following locations:
- United Kingdom
- Europe
- North America / USA
- South America
- Asia
- Oceania
- Africa
- Middle East
For each destination, click Override and adjust the base charge to your own cost of shipping to that region. It is important to keep the percentage charge at 0%.
3. Add a new table for each artwork size and packaging type that you offer. You can split your works into size and packaging type categories, i.e. Flat Packed: Small (longest side Xcm), Flat Packed: Medium (longest side Xcm) and Flat Packed: Large (longest side Xcm).
Whichever shipping option applies to the majority of your artworks should be set as your default shipping table.
See our video for a step-by-step guide on how to create your shipping tables.
How to calculate shipping costs
You can calculate your shipping costs using online shipping comparison sites. Interparcel and Transglobal Express are good places to start, however the best sites to use may vary depending on the country you’re shipping from. If you’re looking for a quote to a global zone rather than a particular country (i.e. Europe), select a delivery country within that zone (i.e. Germany) to get an estimated blanket quote.Remember to include any packaging and insurance costs within the cost of shipping.
