Transparent Logistics

We’ve added more cards to the homepage to make it more clear how many items you have at each stage of journey, as well what actions you should take to things moving along.

We’ve also made it clear on the package list page which items are in free and in paid storage, so you can plan your shipments accordingly.

Unreceived Order Items

We’ve added a new WAITING tab to the Packages section that shows what order items we’ve purchased on your behalf, but have not received yet. Use this list to remind yourself of what’s on its way, so you can decide to wait for these items or consolidate-ship what we have now. Preorders are included in this list.

Auction Deposit & Bidding Fee

For all auctions we have implemented a new policy to streamline operations, discourage frivolous bidding, and to help you win more auctions:

• We are charging a bidding fee of $1.25 per item whether you win or lose the auction. This covers our labor costs of placing the bid and monitoring the auction.
• For Yahoo Auctions the per-item fee has been reduced from $5.00 USD to $3.75 USD. So combined with the bidding fee, if you win the auction then there is no net change.
• We will also capture an auction deposit (1% of the bid price or $10, whichever is larger) up front when we place the bid. If you win the auction, then the deposit goes toward paying the rest of your bill. If you lose the auction, then the deposit is returned to your JPR wallet.

Consolidation Limit

To streamline our operations and reduce the risk of errors, we’ve set a limit of 50 packages maximum that can be consolidated into 1 package for shipping.

Shipping Calculator

You can now use the shipping calculator in metric or imperial units.
