- Can be shipped on behalf of others or packaged and shipped to designated locations.
- Provide product images, texts, videos and other information.
In order to find such suppliers efficiently, sellers can search through multiple online and offline channels at home and abroad.

By comprehensively applying the above strategies, sellers can not only improve their competitiveness on the Shopee platform, but also better serve consumers, ultimately achieving a win-win situation.
