# Text message updates

Last updated: October 27, 2026

alistShipping is a service of AListEngine. Auction houses use it to ship won items to their buyers. Buyers who ask for it get text messages about their order from alistShipping.

## How buyers opt in

When an auction house is ready to ship, alistShipping emails the buyer a link to their checkout page at alistshipping.com. Above the pay button is a Text updates section with the buyer's mobile number and a checkbox, "Text me updates about this order". The box starts unchecked and is optional. Next to it:

> By checking this box, you agree to receive text messages from alistShipping (AListEngine) about this order: a link to pay for shipping, tracking, and delivery updates. Up to 5 messages per order. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase. See our Terms and Privacy Policy.

Only checking the box turns texts on. A phone number the auction house gave us is never texted unless the buyer checks the box for it. The first text confirms the opt-in.
