Selling products on the Ozon platform is an excellent business opportunity, but to ensure smooth delivery of your products, you need to configure the appropriate shipping methods. In this article, we will take a detailed look at how to add new shipping methods on the Ozon platform to ensure that your products are delivered to buyers on time.
Step 1: Create a warehouse.
First, you need to create a warehouse in the “Logistics → Warehouses and methods” section of the Ozon platform. Once you have completed this step, you can proceed to add new shipping methods.
Step 2: Add a shipping method.
Next, click “Add a shipping method”. If you have already added a warehouse and want to add a second or additional shipping method to it, you can click “Add” or “→ Add method” in the “Shipping methods from this warehouse” section of the desired warehouse card.
Step 3: Select a shipping location.
In this step, you need to select the location where you will send the products to the carrier. Specifically, you need to determine whether the shipping location of the products is in the same city as the carrier’s pickup point. If yes, just select “Same country and city as warehouse”. But if the pickup point is in another city or the delivery time exceeds one day, you need to select “Another” and fill in the following fields:
Country: The country where the carrier’s warehouse is located.
City: The city where the carrier’s warehouse is located.
Make sure you select the correct location where the product will be delivered, as missed deliveries may reduce your seller rating and limit sales on the platform.
Step 4: Select a shipping provider.
Please select a suitable shipping provider from the generic list of available logistics companies. Remember that the product should be sent to the buyer according to the delivery service selected by the buyer when placing the order. Violating this condition may result in the blocking of the product.
Step 5: Select the delivery type and settings.
In this step, you need to:
Select the delivery type: by courier or to the order pickup point?
Specify the name of the delivery method.
Select the pickup point address.
Set the order preparation end time.
Step 6: Set the delivery location.
Different carriers may provide services in different geographic areas, so you need to set the delivery location according to the carrier’s service area. Please note that delivery to Crimea is not supported yet.
By following the above steps to add a new delivery method on the Ozon platform, you will be able to meet the needs of buyers more flexibly, improve your seller rating, and ensure that products can be delivered on time. This will enhance your competitiveness on the Ozon platform and bring more success to your business.
