Detailed explanation of AliExpress online shipping operations: Shipping process guide for novice sellers
After successfully receiving an order on AliExpress, novice sellers often face confusion about how to deliver the goods. Online shipping is a simple and convenient option, especially suitable for sellers who are not familiar with international logistics operations. The following are the detailed steps for online shipping on AliExpress to help sellers complete shipping easily.
1. Log in to the AliExpress backend
First, sellers need to log in to the AliExpress backend, click “Manage Orders” in the “Transaction” menu, and select the “All Orders” option. In the “Waiting for your shipment” section, you can see all unshipped orders, and there are two buttons behind each product: “Fill in Shipping Notification” and “Online Shipping”.
2. Select shipping method
If you choose to ship offline, just click “Fill in the shipping notice” and fill in the waybill number. If you choose “Online Shipping”, you need to click the button again to enter the order details page. On this page, sellers can choose a suitable logistics solution, such as Finnish Post Economy Small Packet, etc.
3. Create logistics order
After selecting the logistics service, click “Next, create logistics order”. Please note that some logistics services cannot deliver to certain areas (such as Russia), so you need to confirm the availability of logistics solutions when choosing.
4. Fill in domestic logistics information
After the order is created, the seller needs to fill in the domestic logistics information, including the selected domestic express company (such as YTO, ZTO, STO, etc.) and the domestic logistics order number. You can apply for door-to-door collection, but not all areas support this service. It is recommended to check the detailed information in the system.
5. Fill in package information
When filling in the package information, you need to provide information such as Chinese product name, English product name, product number, declared amount, declared weight, and whether it contains lithium-ion batteries. After completing the filling, the seller clicks “OK” and prints the shipping label.
6. Labeling and shipping
After printing the label, be sure to affix the label to the outer packaging of the package and send the package to the designated warehouse. The system will prompt you to send the package to Yanwen Guangzhou warehouse.
7. Fill in the shipping notice
Finally, after printing the shipping label, return to the AliExpress backend to fill in the shipping notice. This notification includes the name of the logistics service, freight tracking number and other information. Pay attention to select full delivery or partial delivery, and then click “Submit” to complete the delivery operation.
8. Freight payment
Shipping costs need to be paid within 2 to 3 days after the package is delivered to the warehouse. Sellers can choose to pay via domestic Alipay in RMB or international Alipay in US dollars. If payment is not made in time, the system will automatically deduct the fee from the international Alipay account.
Through the above steps, novice sellers on AliExpress can successfully complete online shipments, laying the foundation for the smooth operation of e-commerce stores.
