Understanding shipping methods and delivery times
When browsing and searching for products, you’ll notice a 'Delivery Estimate' displayed at the bottom of each product listing.
This Delivery Estimate gives you an idea of how long it should take for the product to reach your customers. However, it’s important to note that this is an estimate provided by the supplier—not a guaranteed shipping time.
To ensure a great customer experience, always factor in potential shipping delays and set clear expectations with your buyers.
Shipping Options
The best place to find detailed shipping information is in your Import List.
To do this, add the product you’re interested into your Import List.
Click on ‘Import List’ in the header menu and then navigate to the ‘Shipping Options’ tab.
There you will find all of the available shipping options for that product:
Usually there will be several options available, which can range in cost and estimated delivery time.
You can change the ‘Ships From’ and ‘Ships To’ filters to view shipping options for other countries.
Pro Tip: Offer Free Worldwide Shipping.
We highly recommend offering free worldwide shipping on your dropshipping store.
Why? It helps overcome customer objections to longer shipping times and makes the buying decision easier. Instead of worrying about additional fees at checkout, customers see a simple, all-inclusive price—which can increase conversions and boost sales.
You can easily absorb the shipping cost into your product’s total price to maintain your profit margins while keeping your store competitive.
A seamless shopping experience = happier customers and more sales!
