Setting up shipping methods is essential when starting to sell on Shopee. Correct setup helps sellers optimise delivery costs and improve the customer shopping experience. This article provides a simple, detailed, step-by-step guide to setting up shipping methods for a Shopee store that is easy to follow, even for beginners.

1. Why Set Up Shipping Methods?

When you configure shipping methods appropriately, you will:

• Reduce the risk of delayed or refused deliveries

• Proactively choose shipping providers suited to the product and location

• Make use of Shopee shipping fee support programmes

• Build Buyer Trust and a Professional Impression

2. List of Shipping Providers Supported by Shopee

• Shopee Express (SPX)

• Giao Hàng Nhanh (GHN)

• Giao Hàng Tiết Kiệm (GHTK)

3. How to Set Up General Shipping Methods for Your Store

Step 1: Access Seller Centre at https://banhang.shopee.vn

Step 2: Go to “Shop Settings” in the left-hand menu

Step 3: Select “Shipping Settings”

Step 4: Enable or disable the shipping providers you want

You can also choose a default provider for the store by clicking “Set as default”. This provider will be prioritised for handling orders when the customer does not make a specific selection.

4. Set Up Shipping Methods for Individual Products

In some cases, you need to set up shipping methods separately for individual products:

Step 3: Enter the product's weight and dimensions accurately

Step 4: Select the shipping provider applicable to that product

Note: Shopee calculates shipping fees based on weight and dimensions. Accurate information helps avoid shipping fee discrepancies or cancelled orders.

5. Points to Note When Setting Up Shopee Shipping

• Only enable shipping providers that operate effectively in your area

• Always check warehouse details so the provider can collect parcels from the correct location

• Ensure products are packed correctly to avoid shipping risks

• Update shipping methods when changing products or your warehouse address

6. Common Errors and How to Resolve Them

Shipping Providers Are Not Displayed: Recheck the warehouse address and ensure that it is within the service area of your selected provider.

Unusually High Shipping Fees: Adjust the product dimensions and weight to match the actual item.

Orders Rejected for Shipping: Check whether the provider accepts that type of goods (some do not accept fragile items, liquids, batteries, etc.).

Delayed delivery: Consider switching to a more reliable shipping partner.
