Stardew Valley Shipping Collection
Shipping guide for Full Shipment, shipping bin mechanics, seasonal item tracking, and perfection item routing.
Quick facts
Shipping sells items overnight through the farm Shipping Bin or Mini-Shipping Bin.
The Shipping Collection tracks which listed items have been shipped and in what quantities.
Full Shipment requires at least one of every item shown in the Shipping Collection tab.
Ship one, save one
The cleanest completionist habit is simple: ship one copy of a new collection item, then decide whether the next copy belongs in a bundle, recipe, gift chest, machine, or storage.
- Do not process every crop before shipping a raw copy at least once.
- Keep seasonal forage and crops until bundle, cooking, and gift needs are checked.
- Track island goods separately because they often arrive after the main valley route is mature.
Merchant sale vs shipping
Selling to merchants pays immediately, while shipping pays overnight. For collection progress, make sure an item actually goes through the shipping bin when needed.
- Use the bin for collection items rather than only shop selling.
- Place shipping reminders near seasonal or island storage.
- Check Collection tabs before assuming perfection shipping is complete.
