how do I activate ‘click and collect’ within EVRI as a courier ?

[14pms02]

I have EVRI as a ‘Simple’ courier, but have seen ‘click and collect’ on other listings as cheaper option than delivery, but do not know how to activate it.   Is it ‘automatic’, and I can’t see it as I’m looking at my own listings, not as a buyer, or do I need to do something ?  thanks Mentors/Experts

I don't know if this is the answer but it is possibly this.

I use C&C and it is on most of my listings which are not eligible for Simple Delivery.

I have opted for a single carrier for Simple Delivery - Royal Mail.

Click and Collect does not show on my items that do have SD.  I wonder if that is because I have selected a single carrier.

It could be that it is only available if you post with both Evri and RM.

trust all good, 15 miles away, in sunny Cromer !  

Can see C&C on your listings I looked at - example -  197512947113, with RM as ‘prime’.  C&C appears to be ‘free’, given no price shown - is this what you intended, as others have price shown - example 187407096087 - which is what I’d like to ‘duplicate’ ?

ps - can see ‘old fashioned’ ones, listed prior to SD - don’t try revise them as you’ll ‘lost’ ‘cheap’ postage !

I may have found the answer to your original question - Click and Collect is only offered as an option if you use Evri.

Click & Collect via Simple Delivery

If your item is eligible, your buyer may also be able to select Click & Collect via Simple Delivery as a delivery option. This option will be available on your listing if EVRi is the carrier. Your buyer can then choose to pick up the item from an EVRi collection point or locker. All you'll need to do is post your item at your local EVRi drop-off and they'll deliver the parcel to the collection point or locker your buyer selected. If you'd like to offer Click & Collect via Simple Delivery, make sure your carrier preferences include EVRi.

Funnily enough, it is sunny here at the moment!

The item with 'free' C&C is not free postage, the cost is £3.05 for RM Tracked 48.  It looks different to a listing using Simple Delivery because I am still using custom postage for most of my sales.

This is not because the listings are necessarily old but because, for some random reason, Simple Delivery has not been applied to jewellery listings by private sellers.

thx - tried that, again- have tried it before - on a new listing AND, this time, it worked - amazing ! 

Guess item is on ‘eligible’ list, or I am, now - who knows !

Potentially ‘saves’ 70p, which partly offsets buyer premium.
