Shipping methods explained

Shipping is an essential part of every online business. When you dropship with Oberlo you can choose from multiple shipping methods that the suppliers offer.

Shipping method availability depends on the following factors:

Warehouse location
Destination country
Product type
Supplier

For example, if you want to ship an order to the United States, then a supplier might have a warehouse in the United States and offer the USPS shipping method. Learn more about filtering products that are shipped from other countries than China.

Steps:

From your Oberlo admin, click Import List.
Find the product you want to learn about its shipping methods.
Click the Pricing tab.
In the Show shipping to section, click CHANGE.
In the Calculate your shipping price by country section, select the country where you want to sell and ship your products.
Optional: Select the shipping method you want Oberlo to use for calculating your profit for that product, and then click OK. You can only pick one shipping method to use for calculating the profit of that product at a time. This doesn't impact any shipping setting.

You can manually select a preferred shipping method when you place AliExpress orders or set up a default shipping method to automatically select a shipping method.
