11 Overview

33 The Quick Shipping Box is a buildable station in Starsand Island that lets you sell items directly from your Hopeland property without traveling to a shop. Interact with the box to access your entire inventory and all home storage chests through a single interface, select items to sell, and receive payment instantly. The blueprint costs 3,500 Coins from Zerine's General Store and becomes available through the Crafter profession questline. While it sells items at standard shop prices (100% value, not the Merchant Ship's 200%), the time savings make it one of the most valuable convenience items in the game.

55 The investment pays for itself within 10 to 15 uses, saving approximately 2 to 3 minutes per trip that would otherwise be spent walking to Zerine's General Store.

99 The Quick Shipping Box blueprint is purchased from Zerine at the General Store for 3,500 Coins. It becomes available alongside the Request Board Blueprint as you progress through the Crafter profession questline. You need to have advanced past the Apprentice Crafter tier to access it.

2626 Shipping Box vs Merchant Ship

2727

2828 The Merchant Ship at Starsand Port offers 200% of normal vendor value, making it the most profitable place to sell items. However, it requires completing the Starsand Port Construction main quest to unlock. Here is how the two compare:

3131 The optimal strategy is to use both. Sell common, low-value items through the Shipping Box for convenience, and save high-value items (rare fish, premium crops, processed goods) for the Merchant Ship to get 200% return.

3333 Best Items to Sell

3434

3535 The general rule is that processed goods sell for more than raw materials. Cooking vegetables before selling them outperforms selling raw crops. Some of the best items to sell include:

4545 Tips

4646

4747 Place the Shipping Box near your storage chests or barn for easy access during morning routines.Save high-value fish, rare crops, and premium products for the Merchant Ship rather than selling them through the Shipping Box.Complete daily Bulletin Board commissions. These often pay more than standard shop prices for specific items.Process items before selling whenever possible. A cooked dish made from three cheap vegetables is worth more than selling those three vegetables raw.The Shipping Box is especially valuable on properties far from the town center, such as Cloudrest Lake or Windflute Island, where the walk to Zerine's store would be long.
