Seller query - posting items that are too heavy for a single box
Hi there - I new to selling.
I have accepted an offer on a listing that has multiple items. The buyer is paying for postage, but for a single, medium box (I think).
When I have come to pack them today, when combined they are very heavy, too heavy for a single box.
Can i split them across two smaller boses for the same charge to teh customer? If so, how do i handle that when I drop off at the courier desk?
Thanks

Do not be surprised if the buyer cancels their order.
