1. Introduction to logistics channel fees in each Shopee market
(1) Costs and timeliness of each logistics channel
In addition to the official logistics SLS, Shopee also provides other sellers with Various logistics channels that meet the transportation conditions in Southeast Asia. The cost and timeliness of each channel are summarized by scanning the relevant QR code.
The following two situations need to be noted.
First, SLS in the Singapore market is divided into “SLS Standard Express” (SLS standard logistics) and “SLS price and timeliness list
Standard Economy” (SLS small package logistics), which is convenient for sellers Send lighter, smaller parcels
Second, SLS charging standards in Zone A, Zone B, and Zone C in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam are not exactly the same.
(2) SLS Logistics Volumetric Billing Rules
Starting from May 15, 2019, SLS parcels will adopt a weighting method that combines actual weight and volumetric weight. And the freight is calculated according to the heavier weight between the actual weight and the volumetric weight. The volumetric weight charging formula is
Volume weight = length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm)/9000
(The standard calculation parameter commonly used by other third-party logistics companies is 6000, and 9000 is Shopee’s preferential parameter) You need to pay attention to the following issues.
First, when hiding the price, the seller needs to calculate the volumetric weight based on the volumetric weight formula, and then use the price change tool provided by Shopee to hide the price.
Second, SLS will only apply weighting rules that combine actual weight and volumetric weight for packages with a single side length greater than 40 cm.
Third, the unit of measurement for volumetric weight is kilograms.
2. Shopee Logistics Service Logistics Subsidy Policy
In order to provide buyers with a better shopping experience, Shopee provides buyers with freight subsidies in the corresponding markets. If the buyer’s order is consumed If the amount meets the logistics subsidy threshold of the corresponding market, buyers can enjoy the freight subsidies provided by the platform.
Take the Malaysian market as an example. When a buyer in area A places an order greater than or equal to 40 ringgit, Shopee will subsidize the order by 4 ringgit; the subsidy for areas B and C is the same. , when a buyer in area B or area C places an order greater than or equal to 40 ringgit, Shopee will subsidize the order by 4.8 ringgit.
3. Shopee Logistics Service Logistics Product Pricing Rules
When free shipping is not set, buyers and sellers share SLS logistics costs, so the seller must calculate the part he bears. into your own logistics costs. The calculation formula for the logistics cost borne by the seller is
The logistics cost borne by the seller = the freight charged by the platform – the freight borne by the buyer
The SLS freight and product price in the Malaysian market are set as follows: Example to illustrate.
(1) Shipping fee charged by the platform
Malaysian shipping fee is calculated as follows.
The first weight and additional weight units of areas A, B, and C are all 0.01 kg. Take area B as an example to calculate freight.
(1) For packages within 0.01kg, the price is MYR 4.95.
(2) For every additional 0.01 kilogram beyond 001 kilogram, 015 ringgit will be added.
(3) If the package exceeds 100 kilograms, a 15-giga surcharge will be added for each additional 025,000 kilograms. (4) First weight and additional weight charges still apply to packages exceeding 1.00 kg. The calculation formula for the freight charged by the platform is freight charged by the platform = first weight price + (weight – first weight unit) ÷ additional weight unit x price of each additional weight unit
(2) Malaysian buyers bear the freight< /p>
The shipping costs that Malaysian buyers need to pay are: buyers in area A only bear a fixed fee of MYR 3.80 regardless of the weight of the parcel; buyers in areas B and C need to pay for orders within 100 kilograms. Pay 4.80 ringgit, and 1.50 ringgit will be added for each 0.25kg over 100 kilograms.
(3) Logistics cost calculation for Malaysian sellers
For parcels in Zone A, the buyer will bear a fixed cost of 380 ringgit, and the seller will bear a logistics cost of 015 ringgit for each 0.01 kilogram.
For parcels in areas B and C, the buyer will bear a fixed charge of 480 ringgit. Of the total freight, the buyer will bear all the surcharges exceeding 100 kilograms, and the seller will bear the logistics cost for every 0.01 kilogram. 015 ringgit.
So, the formula for calculating the logistics cost borne by sellers in Malaysia is
Logistics cost borne by sellers = product weight ÷ 0.01×0.15
(4) Malaysia Product pricing and logistics cost calculation
When the seller sets the product price, he needs to add the logistics cost to the product cost. The calculation formula is
Product price = product cost + The freight charged by the platform – the freight borne by the buyer + other costs + profit
or the logistics cost borne by the seller = the freight charged by the platform – the freight borne by the buyer
Therefore, the product price =Product cost + other costs + profit + logistics cost borne by the seller (product weight ÷ 0.01×0.15)
The packaged weight of a product is 050 kg, the cost is 500 ringgit, and the profit is 400 ringgit. Other costs are 3.00 ringgit. The seller’s logistics cost of shipping from his own company to the Shopee transshipment warehouse is 300 ringgit. How does the seller set the product price when uploading the product?
Whether it is in area A, area B or area C, it is calculated according to the following formula
Product price = product cost + other costs + profit + product weight ÷0.01×0.15
p>
Therefore, the product pricing is calculated as
(5.00+300+4.00+3.00)+0.50÷0010.15=22.50 (ringgit)
For the convenience of everyone Sellers calculate product prices based on weight. Shopee has specially created a logistics cost calculation formula form for sellers in each market – the Shopee Price Change Tool Sheet. Sellers only need to enter the product weight to know how much cost they need to add to the product price.
An example of a price change tool in the Malaysian market. For example, when the product weight is 0.10 kg and needs to be sent to Malaysia A through SLS, the actual total shipping fee is 5.30 ringgit, and the seller needs to pay 530 ringgit minus 380 ringgit is equal to 150 ringgit.
