Who pays shipping?
Who pays shipping — quick answer with steps and helpful context for Javern users.
Updated 31 July 2026
Overview
The buyer pays for shipping. Each store on Javern sets its own shipping options and prices, and the cost is added to your order total at checkout.
How it's charged
- The store's shipping options appear at checkout with their prices.
- You pick one, and the cost is added to your order total.
- You pay the store's shipping fee along with the item price and any applicable tax.
Free or subsidised shipping
Some stores offer free shipping on their own — either as a permanent option or as part of a promotion. If a store does this, you'll see "Free" as one of the shipping options at checkout.
Return shipping
If you need to return something, who pays for the return depends on why — see Who pays return shipping?.
