Set Up Collection Method

To start shipping, you need to set up your default collection method first. You only need to do this the first time you ship orders or if you decide to change your default collection method.
You can easily choose your default collection method in Fulfilment Settings, where you can select between pick-up or drop-off.

Handover to Logistics

  1. After your orders are packed and ready, you have the option to either drop off your parcels or wait for the logistics providers to pick up your orders. The logistics providers will scan all your parcels to confirm collection, and the order status will automatically update to 'Shipped.' You can track your order status, whether it's 'In-Transit' or 'Delivered,' on the Seller Center.
💡Tip: If you've chosen pick-up but the logistics provider doesn't arrive as expected, we recommend dropping off your parcels instead. This helps you avoid an increased Late Dispatch Rate (LDR) and Seller Fault Cancellation Rate (SFCR).

❗️Important: Sellers should complete this step and update the order status to 'Shipped' within the required shipping time to avoid auto-cancellation or late dispatch. Learn more about the latest shipping time here.
  1. After your orders are delivered, you can view the proof of delivery by clicking 'View Logistics' and then 'Proof of Delivery' to see the details from the logistics provider.
