1.Overview

Note: This manual is only applicable to US local to local (Domestic) logistics services. This manual is only applicable to seller self-shipping scenarios (Seller Shipping).

1.1 Definitions

  • Ready to Ship: After a consumer places an order, the seller uploads the tracking number in the Seller Center. This can be done either by filling in the logistics tracking number on the back-end or importing the logistics tracking number in bulk, etc. The shipping time of the seller shall be based on the operation shipping time recorded in the seller center.
  • Seller Shipping: Sellers provide order fulfillment through their own selected/preferred logistics carriers.
  • Shipment in Transit: The first shipping information of the order updated on its corresponding logistics company's official website, will be regarded as package collection.
Important: Marking an item as Ready to Ship or Transit to Ship constitutes confirmation of shipping.

3.1 Order Handling

  • Sellers are required to confirm, pick, pack and enter valid tracking numbers for all orders within the selected Order Handling Time on Fulfillment Settings page of Seller Center. This handling time could be different for various shipment types. For example, Standard Shipments have shorter handling times compared to Made-to-Order Shipments. Please refer to TikTok Shop Customer Order Shipping Policy for more information.

3.2 Virtual Bundle Split Order Function

  • We have recently introduced a Virtual Bundle Split Order functionality that allows sellers to meet different shipping needs when selling bundled products. This feature enables orders containing virtual bundles to be split so that each item can be shipped separately. The function is available in Seller Center. If you would like to use this feature, please contact your Account Manager (AM) to request whitelist access. For detailed instructions on how to use this feature, please refer to the Virtual Bundles guide.
