For experienced sellers, the novice template cannot meet their needs for cross-border logistics. Therefore, many experienced sellers will set up shipping templates according to their own needs. For custom shipping templates, AliExpress has two ways to set them up, one is to directly click “Add Shipping Template”, and the other is to click “Edit” an existing shipping template.
When setting up a logistics freight template, we generally need to complete the following settings: first, select the shipping area; second, select the logistics method; third, set the freight pricing method (free shipping, charging by quantity and by weight; fourth, personalize the selection of destination countries and regions; fifth, personalize the promised delivery time.
Below, we take the e-mail logistics method under the standard logistics classification as an example to explain its freight setting and delivery time.
First, enter the “Edit Freight Template” page, select the “Standard Class” tab, then find the “e-mail” option and check it. After selecting “e-mail”, the freight information about setting “e-mail” will appear in the lower middle of the page. First, select “Custom Shipping”. Second, set the regions and countries to be shipped and not shipped in the “Destination” column. Assume that the product is only sold to the United States, Hungary and Brazil, and is not sold in other countries or regions. Then, we can set it up like this, first select the three shipping locations “United States, Hungary and Brazil” countries; then, set the places where no delivery is allowed, and selected 34 countries or regions. Third, fill in the “Shipping Calculation Method”. Because we have a free shipping policy for the United States, Hungary and Brazil, select “Seller Pays” for the shipping calculation method. For other places where the product is not sold, directly select “No Delivery” for the shipping calculation method. Fourth, fill in the “Promised Delivery Time”. We can choose the standard delivery time set by the platform, or we can choose “Custom Delivery Time” according to the actual situation of the company and write the specific number of days below, such as the “35” in the example. Days”.
When we edit the freight template and select the logistics company, we will see the “Destination” column in the lower middle part of the page. Click the “Modify Icon” (i.e. the modification pen icon), we can choose “Select destination by continent” and “Select destination by logistics provider zone”. Select “Select destination by continent” and click “Manually select region”, and the continents of the world will appear, namely Asia, North America, South America, Oceania, Europe and Africa. According to the company’s sales policy, click to select the corresponding country and region.
Of course, if we don’t want to click in each continent and slowly find each country, we can try to select regions in batches. Click the “Batch Select Regions” tab, and enter the countries or regions you need to select in batches in the input box on the left. After entering, the selected countries or regions will be displayed on the right.
