When hunting for bargains on classifieds, you need to consider not just the purchase price but also the shipping costs. However, buyers can currently save on this front. The platform has significantly reduced shipping costs for certain Hermes shipments. In some cases, shipping is even free. But it’s worth taking a closer look, as not every discount actually results in savings.
Classifieds reduces costs depending on the category
The cost of shipping depends, among other things, on the category in which an item is offered. For the following categories, Classifieds offers discounted prices:
| Category | Hermes ParcelShop Delivery (in euros) | Home Delivery (in euros) |
|---|---|---|
| Family, Child & Baby | Hermes Parcel: 0 Hermes S-Package: 0.49 Hermes M-Package: 0.99 | Hermes Parcel: 0.49 Hermes S-Package: 0.99 Hermes M-Package: 1.49 |
| Electronics | Hermes Parcel: 0.49 Hermes S-Package: 0.99 Hermes M-Package: 1.49 | Hermes Parcel: 0.99 Hermes S-Package: 1.49 Hermes M-Package: 2.49 |
| Home & Garden | Hermes Parcel: 0.49 Hermes S-Package: 0.99 Hermes M-Package: 1.49 | Hermes Parcel: 0.99 Hermes S-Package: 1.49 Hermes M-Package: 2.49 |
For comparison: Directly with Hermes, a parcel regularly costs 3.99 euros. The discounted prices are generally valid until December 31, 2026. However, the promotion is also tied to a quota. Once this is exhausted, the lower prices may disappear sooner. Classifieds has not specified an exact number.
The affordable shipping has conditions
Not all buyers automatically benefit from the lower shipping costs. The prerequisite is the payment function of Classifieds and that the purchase is processed via “Buy Now” or “Make Offer” with the Classifieds “Secure Payment” function. Additionally, the seller must offer Hermes as a shipping option. However, buyers do not need an additional promo code. The discount is applied when creating the shipping label, and Classifieds covers the difference.

Classifieds fans should be aware of fees. These apply even when the shipping cost is 0 euros. For the “Secure Payment” service, Classifieds charges the buyer a service fee of 0.50 euros plus 4.5 percent of the purchase price. Especially for more expensive items, this can negate the savings on shipping. For a free parcel, the discount is only worthwhile up to a purchase price of around 71 euros. If the shipping costs 0.49 euros, as in the “Electronics” category, this limit is already around 60 euros.
