How long does it take for a new Shopee store to change warehouses?

3 to 4 days will be enough.

What are the steps for changing warehouse?

1. After logging in to the Shopee backend, click the menu in the upper left corner and select Logistics Settings.

2. Here we can choose the default transfer warehouse. After changing, it will not take effect immediately. You have to wait for about 3-4 days, and then if there is an order, you can directly print the delivery note to know whether the warehouse change is successful.

3. You can also change the default delivery method here. Generally, it is kept as the default and no need to change it.

And different warehouses of Shopee can be mixed. Shopee logistics delivery is a transit warehouse model. Self-delivery can only be done by SF Express. Only when there are items will they be delivered without any pressure.

Taking the Taiwan market as an example, the shipping cost for sending your goods to the transshipment warehouse (Shenzhen by default) is borne by the seller, and you can use any courier.

Generally, there are three ways to understand Shopee’s delivery methods:

Non-express delivery: Free Pickup (SPS) sellers/Paid Pickup sellers/Collection point sellers

Express delivery: Sellers who use third-party express delivery companies to provide delivery services to the transshipment warehouse. (Including Jitu Express in paid collection, excluding Lalamove/self-delivery sellers)

Self-delivery sellers: sellers who deliver goods to Shopee’s transshipment warehouse by themselves or use logistics companies such as Lalamove to deliver goods to Shopee’s transshipment warehouse

remind:

The modification of the transshipment warehouse only affects the orders that are applied for shipment after the modification, and the orders that have been applied for shipment before will not be affected;

ERP: If you use ERP, you also need to select its default transshipment warehouse and shipping method in the seller center;

SIP: Just select the transshipment warehouse and delivery method in the main store. The SIP affiliated store will synchronize the settings in the main store.

If you do not set a default transshipment warehouse and shipping method, you cannot schedule shipments or forecasts. You need to log in to the Seller Center backend to set a default transshipment warehouse and shipping method.

In fact, Shopee’s regulations on warehouse changes are relatively humane, allowing mixed shipments and warehouse changes. This will make logistics more flexible and improve buyers’ shopping experience. However, when setting up warehouse changes, you should also pay attention to the above-mentioned precautions.
