How long does it take for a new Shopee store to place an order? How do I ship orders placed on Shopee?

No matter which platform you open a new store on, the most important thing is to find a way to get orders quickly. After the orders are placed, you can find ways to increase the store's traffic or start promotion work. So how long does it take for a new Shopee store to place orders?

According to my personal experience and the summary of my friends, new Shopee stores usually receive orders within a week or two weeks at the latest. Most orders are received within a week. If there are no orders for more than 10 days, it will be difficult to receive orders later, or even if there are orders, there will not be many. Therefore, the first few days are very important.

1. How to ship orders on Shopee?

After receiving an order, the goods need to be shipped to the buyer. Each Shopee site supports different logistics. For the Taiwan site, Taiwan supports more logistics than other sites. Shopee's own channels SLS, YTO, and SF Express also provide home delivery and store delivery. Home delivery is completed by SF Express and Black Cat Delivery in Taiwan. Store delivery is to deliver the products to 7-11 convenience stores or FamilyMart convenience stores for buyers to pick up. If the first home delivery is unsuccessful, a second free delivery will be made within seven days. There is no product packaging for store delivery, so please pay attention.

2. What is SLS?

1. SLS is a cross-border logistics service established by Shopee itself, including warehousing, transportation, export declaration, import customs clearance, delivery and many other related logistics services. And the operation is also very simple, just apply for the shipping process, print the shipping order, and send it out with the face order.

2. The packaging should be intact, the bag should be strong and not easy to be damaged. The international waybill should be affixed to the innermost package received by the customer. It is not allowed to be folded and cannot be too small. The barcode on the waybill should be clear. One order can only contain one package. If it is divided into two packages, the waybill of the two packages will be the same. In this way, one package will be shipped and the other will be returned as an abnormal item and not shipped. Our domestic waybill will be affixed to the second layer of packaging because it is a package sent to our domestic warehouse. In simple terms, one order, one package, two layers of packaging; an international waybill inside and a domestic waybill outside.

3. There are also requirements for product packaging. The package must be in an opaque packaging bag and must be sturdy. If the outer packaging is damaged, it may not be shipped and will be kept in the warehouse. Before delivery to the warehouse, a shipping list must be printed. The warehouse will use the shipping list for delivery. Each small package must have a clear waybill and a clear barcode. Merchants must strictly abide by the rules for general goods and special goods. Special goods packages must go through special channels. Packages that do not meet the standards set by Shopee may be intercepted, and the cost of returns will be borne by the seller. For intercepted products, the warehouse will only operate a return once a month.

In general, how long it takes for a new Shopee store to place an order depends on the actual situation of the store. Generally speaking, the first order can be placed in about a week. But it is not absolute.
