The shipping charges on the Shopee platform are related to the site, transportation method, region, and weight, showing the latest shipping standards on the Shopee platform from November 12, 2019. The Shopee platform has been continuously improving logistics and transportation efficiency and reducing shipping costs. Therefore, the shipping standards of each site will change from time to time. We should pay attention to the various notices in the policy column of Shopee’s official website regularly.
Some areas are divided into areas A, B, and C. This is mainly based on the distance between the area and the warehouse, the popularity of local logistics and the difficulty of delivery. The lifting and reloading costs at different sites are Prices, as well as shipping charges that buyers need to pay, vary slightly.
Total freight = actual freight (paid by Shopee) – freight paid by the buyer. The actual freight (paid by Shopee) is 6.35RM, the buyer pays 3.5RM, and the seller finally pays the freight of 2.85RM. The actual freight (paid by Shopee) = lifting price + (weight – lifting) / additional weight x additional weight price + Surcharge for excess 1kg.
The actual shipping fee (paid by Shopee) refers to the cost of shipping from the Shopee platform’s transshipment warehouse to the buyer. The platform will settle the payment with the seller after the order is completed.
Take the Malaysia station as an example. The goods are sent to the three areas A, B, and C of Malaysia using SLS logistics. Assuming that 500g of goods are sent to area A in Malaysia using SLS logistics, the actual freight (Shopee) (payment) is 4.15+(0.5-0.01)/0.01×0.15=11.5RM, and the total freight paid by the seller is 11.5-3.5=8RM. Since May 15, 2019, SLS logistics method will be applicable to products with a single side length greater than 40cm. Parcels are weighed using a combination of actual weight and volumetric weight. The heavier of the actual weight and volumetric weight is used for freight calculation.
Volume weight = length x width x height/9000 (weight unit is kilogram)
It should be noted that the weight of goods shipped using SLS logistics cannot exceed 25kg. In addition, as can be seen in Table 4-2, except for the Malaysian site, buyers on other sites only need to pay a lower fixed shipping fee, and if the seller sets a shipping promotion in the “My Marketing Center” page, the buyer may Do not pay or pay less for this part of the freight.
When the price of the product purchased by the buyer reaches the free shipping requirement, the shipping fee paid by the buyer can be waived and the seller will bear all the shipping cost, or when the amount of the product purchased by the buyer reaches the Shopee platform’s When the free shipping quota is applied, the shipping fee paid by the buyer can also be exempted. At this time, the shipping fee paid by the buyer will be borne by the Shopee platform. Therefore, in order to ensure the profit of the goods sold, we must accurately know the weight of the goods after packaging, and we must pay attention to reducing the packaging weight as much as possible while ensuring that the goods can be transported intact.
Finally, from the perspective of reducing logistics costs, we should also consider the weight of the package. We can reduce the weight of the package by optimizing products, simplifying packaging, etc.
