When we upload products to the Shopee platform, we need to determine the price of the product. Different from domestic logistics, the freight of cross-border logistics is determined by the weight of the goods, and there are large price fluctuations. Literally, if the item weighs 10g more, the shipping cost may be 10% more. Therefore, freight is a factor that cannot be ignored in pricing. Before pricing, we need to understand the transportation method and freight.
The logistics methods adopted by the Shopee platform include its own Shopee Logistics Services (SLS) and Logistics Worldwide Express (LWE) that cooperates with third parties. All sites on the Shopee platform support the SLS logistics method. The logistics method to Taiwan, China also supports YTO and SF Express, and the delivery methods are divided into home delivery and store delivery. Home delivery is done by SF Express and Black Cat Delivery, with two free deliveries, while store delivery is done by FamilyMart and 711. Buyers can pick up their items at the store via SMS pickup code.
In addition to supporting SLS logistics, goods shipped to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand also support LWE logistics. In addition, the popularity of online payment in countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines is low. The Shopee platform also supports local buyers to use cash on delivery, and sites that support cash on delivery. The Shopee platform enables SLS logistics for all sellers by default. Sellers only need to enable Standard Express when adding products. The Shopee platform will deduct the SLS logistics fee from the payment after the order status is completed and settle the settlement with the seller. If the seller uses third-party logistics methods such as LWE/SF Express, he or she needs to open an account on the third-party logistics platform, fill in the logistics order number after the order is shipped, and settle logistics costs directly with the logistics provider.
The cash on delivery method can be turned on on the “My Store” – “Logistics Center” page.
