Fast and safe delivery of order goods has always been important, but it is more important during busy holidays. Finally, gifts should be placed under trees, distributed at holiday parties, or sent to loved ones early enough. During the last holiday, almost 16 billion emails and parcels were delivered, an increase of more than 4% over 2017. Only 8% delay between ups and FedEx. There are many factors affecting the delivery time, some of which cannot be controlled. Read on to learn how to prepare for holiday delivery, how to use woommerce to set freight rates, and how to ensure that packages arrive on time.
The first step in setting delivery settings for woocomerce is to determine the delivery location or delivery location. You can choose to ship internationally or only in specific countries. If products such as alcohol are sold, they can only be distributed to specific regions with licenses. The freight rate and method are set for each region. This helps determine delivery deadlines for specific regions. For example, you can set the global deadline for orders earlier than orders hundreds of miles away. For more information about selecting a deadline and selecting a shipping company, see the following sections, or read the complete documentation for shipping region settings.
Woocomerce has three basic delivery methods. Free delivery – free delivery to customers. Fixed delivery – claim as a percentage of the specified price or total order amount. Local transfer – meet customers directly and deliver products. Free shipping may be a good way to guide purchases. In fact, 93% of online shoppers intend to buy more products if they can deliver them free of charge. If you decide to offer free standard delivery options, you can also give priority to delivery at an additional cost. Woocommerce can combine various options according to customers’ needs.
If the default delivery method does not meet the requirements, you can use a variety of extended functions. Pay form fees – use forms to create custom fees. Determine the freight according to the weight, quantity and price of goods. Woocommerce premium delivery package – divide the shopping basket into separate packages and charge separately. Woocomerce delivery – charges are based on distance to customer or total movement time. Woocomerce shipping – access the discounted USPS fee and print the label directly on the woocomerce dashboard.

Finally, you can consider creating a delivery level for your product. The distribution level is used to set the cost of specific goods, such as heavy or fragile products with higher transportation costs. For more information, see the product delivery level documentation. Selecting and integrating the right carrier will have a significant impact on cost, arrival time and distribution quality. The mobile communication companies suitable for your business may be different, but the following points need to be considered when choosing: Where to deliver? Please ensure that the carrier can deliver the goods to all locations where the service is provided. Does the product need special treatment? If the product is heavy or requires special attention (e.g. cold food or combustible goods), please ensure that the carrier provides a solution. What is the freight available? Can I get a discount for bulk shipments? How fast does the delivery enterprise deliver goods? Can you track it? Including insurance or can I buy it separately? It is important to consider how the delivery time and cost change during the rest day. USPS, FedEx and ups have announced the expected delivery date in 2019, but purchase other transportation enterprises
。 You may need to hire seasonal or temporary team members to handle increasing orders.
Prepare all delivery materials. Order additional delivery and packaging materials and prepare them before the start of the holiday. I don’t want to wait for custom boxes or go to stores during seasonal tours. For more product packaging tips, please read the article on packaging exceeding customer expectations. Please pay attention to the days when there are many shoppers. Prepare and develop a process to quickly process orders on days of high shopping volume. Although it varies according to location and industry, it includes Black Friday, Internet Friday, the last Saturday before Christmas and Super Saturday. Delay packet processing, but what happens if the packet arrives late? How to deal with dissatisfied and dissatisfied customers? A good place to start is to develop a refund and return policy. Make sure your site can be viewed and kept as is, such as footnotes or payment pages. By extending return and warranty requests, customers can easily request and manage immediate returns from the dashboard. This can reduce the weight on the shoulder and simplify the process. Please consider expressing professionalism and recognition to frustrated customers and offering customers a discount or a certain proportion of the total order amount in the future. Even if it’s late, they will still want the product, and they will be happy with a partial refund or coupon. If the product is damaged during transportation for some reason, please provide the customer with a replacement instead of a refund. This may help maintain high loyalty customers and often minimize losses. Don’t be afraid to ask the carrier for a refund. You can get a refund for the delayed delivery according to the person who delivered the package and the delivery method selected. Some mobile communication companies need to ask for a refund within a specific time, so please check the specific request window of mobile communication companies. In addition, if the software package is covered by distribution insurance and damaged, you can ask for a refund and commodity price. Now, 59% of shoppers who start preparing are offering discounts and buying gifts on average 42 days before the rest day. Ensure that processes, policies, and settings are in place to quickly reach packages and satisfy customers. For more information, see the post dealing with typical holiday delivery problems.
