Getting orders to your customers is a vital part of running your ecommerce business, and there’s a lot involved, from choosing product packaging to planning your ecommerce shipping strategy.
Underpinning those strategic choices, however, is the fulfillment method that gets your order from point A to point B. Choosing a delivery method, carrier, and shipping services are important aspects of your logistics process. It’s all about finding the right balance between what your customers want and what you can realistically provide, both from an operational and a budget standpoint.
Shopify Shipping works directly with multiple carriers each offering multiple mail classes to make the process as streamlined as possible, so you can get orders into your customer's hands quickly and affordably, whatever that means for your business.
In this video, we will show you how to ship packages and optimize your store with Shopify Shipping.

Your videos are always informative! One question: How do I ship packages via USPS First Class? My Shopify account only offers USPS Priority shipping. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ❤
Topics: “Warehouse Design”, “FDA Approved UPCs”, “How to offer discounts, match a market price, and still make margin” - Warehouse Requirements (insurance x5, OSHA, etc) - these were a few topics that came to mind as a store scales up.
Hi Michelle,
First of all, I highly appreciate you and your team for putting in all these efforts in creating high quality and (more importantly) very helpful content.
I have a request for you. I'm Shopify store owner since about couple of months and I'm still struggling to set up all the Shopify Settings for my POD business store. I'd be so so grateful, if you can create a tutorial dedicated to Shopify Settings only (in context of POD business 😉☺️), and I'm sure it will be beneficial for many POD business beginners like me.
Awaiting for your positive response.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much Shopify, this content is absolutely great!
How about a video on ' cash flow management ' between a customer's order and when you the store owner actually gets paid ? This is never addressed yet can be a real hindrance to cash strapped startups who are strictly dripshippers via 3rd party fulfillment companies who must be paid prior to shipping to your customers . Thank you for the professional job you always do .
needed this!! always so much great info
anyone here need a Store? i will help you create 3 shopify store
Why does this girl have such a beautiful smile? Its gonna make me learn Shopify for no reason😂
Stick to your Indian girls my guy.
This is great, thank you. And I was especially excited when you mentioned a downloadable shipping calculator, however, unless I'm missing something, there are no formulas in the spreadsheet. All of the values are static.
This is such a great video; very much detailed and very understanding and friendly pleasant host. Much thanks 😊...
Thank you, great video!
It's about time shopify learned about youtube. Spend less time with CS. Very good video.
Wonderfully relevant and succinct.
Is the label that can be printed with the Shopify app postage-paid? Are the shipping charges added to your Shopify account daily?
Super helpful!! Thanks
Thank you for another amazing video so helpful!
Thanks so much for watching!
Learning form your channel very helpful ✨💫
Tell us more about the benefits of using Shopify for selling t-shirts and other print-on-demand.
How do you go about building the shipping costs in with the price of your products? I would like to calculate an average shipping fee based on measurements and weight and not hassle with the fee every order and with multiple shippers. I would just like to use USPS. I would like to just offer free shipping without going broke or over charging the customer. How do you set that up in Shopify shipping.
Thank you so much! I just subscribed!
Welcome!
I cannot thank you enough for this video. After searching and viewing many other videos, I finally found the information I needed in a straight forward presentation.
So happy that this was helpful for you!
@@learnwithshopifyMy question is not so much apt but plz ans: can I send products from my nearest post office bcz sopify shows the options of only about Dhl or Usp or usps? Nd there are no agent in my area of those 3 shipping method(dhl/usp/usps)
Please make the shipping options easier for the Scandinavian customers! :)
Thank you. Is there a shipping option for poly bags?
Thank you Michelle
Hi Michelle i have a question, I am recently open my Shopify store about fitness Apperal. The question is can I do Drop shipping and shipping from home. us most of the apparel it’s on my house . Do I’m able to do both.
Very helpful video
What happens with multiple orders? How are the rates calculated, what about when I need to pack in a larger box?
Where can I purchase the biodegradable peanuts and shredded water bottle packaging filler?
Hi thanks for the informational video, I have a question I need a shipping label app but I don't know which one is good does somebody have a good one? I am really struggling with this. (I am from the netherlands and I want to ship worldwide)
Here is a question. If I am not American and not living in America and don't have a physical store in America, do we pay nexus tax if supplier in one USA state and customer in a different USA state?
I want to know what exactly are other drop shippers are putting in there shipping and return policy since they don’t actually come in contact with the merchandise. I’m having a hard tome with how to word my policy.
How do you set up a fulfillment Center who uses ShipStation to print off labels?
Thanks for this video but if you have both a point of sale and a website, raising your prices to include shipping does not seen viable, any suggestion? And is there a little more in dept video tutorial available? Thanks
Hey, Clody. That's a great point! You certainly don't have to include your shipping prices within the product price. You can have separate shipping prices entirely. There's a ton of great information in our Shopify Help Document: bit.ly/3jI73MR. Please let us know if you have any questions about that.
So when I get an order , I print the shipping label , attach to the box and send it to the post office ?
Cute overalls!
What should I do if my country is out of the zone for the carriers?
Does this service work when shipping out from turkey
Can you do a video using Sendle with Shopify for Australians. Cheers

Thanks for watching, we are glad you enjoyed it!
Can this shipping method apply to nz?
Hello thank you for this. How do you change your contact email address on the Shopify store you created?
hi i have to ask did any want know if you have shopify online store are you make delivery or not
I have a question. If you’re doing Shopify shipping, and you pick a carrier like USPS for example, and you got your label and everything ready, do you still need to create an account with USPS for them to get the package?
Hi there, you shouldn't need to create an account though it's an option for those seeking additional features for their business. Here are some more details about Shopify Shipping and USPS. (bit.ly/3Bi0nxo).
Why do we have to pay for the shipping label? Don’t you already have to pay a subscription to use everything anyways?
Thanks
also, I don't see the PDF you mentioned? GREAT video!

Is it possible to apply a shipping rate to a product collection and not have to select products individually?
What about adding for example Yoycol POD
Hello! I'm new to Shopify and I'm struggling with the saved packages settings. How can I configure custom packages for different products? For example, I've saved small, medium, and large boxes, each for different types of products. However, it appears that Shopify uses the default package to calculate shipping weight and cost. Is there a way to assign specific packages to individual products so Shopify can factor that into the final weight? Let's say I sell small items that can be shipped in a 50 grams box, but other larger items need to be shipped in a 100 grams box. The default package is 50 grams, and it seems like that's the weight Shopify will use to calculate the cost of shipping.
How do you identify where a product has originally come from?
i have products that I want to trace back to the source to get the price and shipping info. from to make sure I have the total cost of it.
This was def the most helpful video on shipping so far but not clear enough unfortunately. I live in Sweden and want to ship within the EU and USA. First of all, in your example, what shopify plan are you using? I am set up as basic and i did exactly as you said and no carriers appear. Why? Do I need to upgrade the plan? I just think I must be doing something wrong or shopify is blocked for europe or something. help.
I believe this tool is for sellers located within the U.S.
You're sweet. Thank you for the info!
Does Shopify provide shipping also
Useful intro
I appreciate your videos. You can genuinely see the energy and support given.
My concern is Shopify is allow in the Caribbean ( Jamaica) but not Shopify payments. Now we could switch the country to USA ( for example) and start selling ( to the USA market). Is that ok? If and when sales reach taxable levels open an LLC?
Thanks for your kind words, Nicholas! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying these videos. If your business has a physical address in the USA, you can use that as your store address. Otherwise, you will need to stick with the payment providers available in your area. We appreciate your interest in using Shopify Payments, and will be sure to let our developers know that you'd like to see it available in Jamaica too.
@@learnwithshopify you're welcome. Keep shining. Thank you so much. Appreciate your quick reply
I just have a quick simple question here, let's say for example, someone purchases a product from my shopify store, would it automatically get sent to them or would i have to manually set it up from "Shipping and Delivery" in settings? Thank you.
Good question. This completely depends on how your business works. You can either ship the products yourself or use a third-party system to hold and fulfill your orders. If you don't have products already you can sell via dropshipping or print on demand to sell products that are fulfilled by third-party fulfillment systems. Were you already selling online or in-person? -Rio
How is the easiest way for adding a shipping method for "adding to existing order" that will not cost anything - but at the same time NOT be the default shipping method??? It will not accept our Java script code anymore.... :(
what if we are working from home, and shipping from...and you do not want to put your home address on the label?
Can I buy in bulk off a supplier then ship everything myself on Shopify?
Y’all. Is a 3cm by 3cm box too small to ship?
Could you do a video on UA-cam ads
What thermal printer do you recommend?
Hey, Jason! Here's a list of thermal printers we support and recommend: bit.ly/3Tnax89.
Hey
Should we just offer Express shipping vs standard? For example my standard from my supplier is 12-15 days but my express is 3-8 days,
Should i just keep the option of express there for they get the producr much faster or will that turn off people because it will be more pricey, i have both standard and express on now but lots of abdan carts price different from standard to express would be 10-15$
What do you think, we want to move our brand to have the product to there house asap 🤔
Thanks for this video. I can't find the free download that goes with this video. It says it's not available/not found or error. Is there a new link?
Hi there. Glad you enjoyed the video. What free download link are you referring to? The description of the video has all the link useful regarding this video but more than happy to assist you further.
Custom shipping rates for products: It seems like it adds the same shipping rate twice when they order 2 items from the same list og items that is inside this shopping rate. Are we doing something wrong?
This is what I am struggling with too 🤦♀️
What abour working with shopify fulfilment but printing the labels and buying them from outside shopify? For example, if you have an account on dhl for business rates etc. How will that work with shopify?
Hey, there! Thanks for reaching out.
You can definitley use your own carrier accounts to calculate shipping rates and purchase labels.
This would be referred to as third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates, and not necessarily Shopify Shipping (which uses Shopify's own carrier rates).
You would need to have Carrier Calculated Shipping enabled on your store which could be an extra monthly charge depending on your plan.
We have more information on this here - bit.ly/38RQHzd. Hope that helps!
How about freight items?
I have selected a few suppliers and products from them, but now, I need to figure out how to push the products to my store through the dropshipping process. Please advise. Thanks
I just upgrade my SHOPIFY plan but not seeing the different carrier just Canada post for do I get the other carrier on my website ?
Hi there! If you're using Shopify Shipping in Canada, Canada Post is currently the only carrier available, and you can read more about that here: bit.ly/3FKeZ9t. If you want to enable Third-party carrier-calculated shipping rates, which allows you to use your own account with a shipping carrier, you will need to contact Shopify Support directly via this link: bit.ly/3eNr2bD. You can read more about carrier-calculated shipping here: bit.ly/32waTUh. I hope this helps!
Is shopify shipping cost more expensive than Pirateship? As they have the Simple Export Rate.
Is shopify provides delivery boy or we need to deliver our stuff by myself ?
Hi there! While we don't provide shipping or delivery services ourselves at Shopify, we do help you to set up your own choices in terms of shipping and delivery: bit.ly/3d7ZlMk.
You need to add an option for products that have different shipping rules so that you have the choice to add the shipping costs together or to select just the higher price one. If we have a customer who places an order for products from different product ranges that have different shipping rules the current system adds them all up and charges the customer the total. A simple tick box on the back end to stop this and to just select the highest priced option should be simple to add and make the whole process a lot better.
Hi, Jennifer! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I've submitted your feedback to our developers!
hey, guys is it possible to charge a custom shipping rate based on a set of conditions like: 5$ shipping fee for items between 0$ and 20$ and select one carrier for all orders? i would like shopify to route all orders to USPS.
Hi, Omer. This is definitely possible through price-based flat shipping rates. You can learn about that here bit.ly/3KzVTXa. Then when in your shipping settings make sure you only have USPS enabled and you: should be able to solve this: bit.ly/3pUYRMv. -Rio
Hi! I’m setting up my store and I will sell most of my products to US and international using general shipping profile with a flat rate under $75 order and free above that, HOWEVER I’m also selling a line of product that I want to ship to US only. So I created a custom profile and the shipping zone is set to US only but I don’t want to add a shipping rate or else it cumulated with my general shipping rate. But if I don’t add a rate to that custom “zone” profile then it says people won’t be able to buy that product. I don’t want shipping costs to cumulate for clients at checkout just because I have to restrict geographically one of the product in their cart. Can you please tell me how to solve this?
Hi, Lao! This is a known and intentional behaviour of the shipping profile functionality, where shipping rates from different profiles are added together and shown as a single rate on checkout. However, I definitely understand that this behaviour may not always be desirable for stores. The workaround for this would be to install a third-party shipping app, such as Advanced Shipping Rules: bit.ly/3ldsEhy or Parcelify: bit.ly/3E2dtiA, which would help resolve this issue.
I can understand your use case though and definitely see how useful this option would be if we added it natively onto our Shopify shipping settings. I'll pass on what you've shared here with me to our developers, so that they're aware of the demand of this type of feature. Let us know if we can help further!
need a shipping sample template that we can use and modify for our needs. thank you
Hey, Tron! What kind of shipping template are you looking for specifically?
If it's for your shipping labels, we do have a free template available here: bit.ly/3jEieGK. You'll just have to fill in the information on that page, and a shipping label will then be created for you! From there, you can either print the label on sticker paper, or on regular paper to tape to your parcel.
Are you using our Shopify Shipping service by any chance? If you are, then you won't need a shipping label template as you can generate and print out a shipping label directly from your Shopify admin: bit.ly/37MJGzc.
Is shopify shipping available in India?
My store does not have the option of print shipping label.
Hey, um not sure if your gonna anwser this but how would you send a product to the customer if your not actully holding the product. Like do I change to address to theirs from aliexpress???
Hey, Jerry! That is absolutely correct. If you use a dropshipping app, usually, it automatically adds the customer address to the AliExpress order. Do you use an app in your store?
@@learnwithshopify thank you so much for anwsering and yes im thinking about using dsers
Does Shopify have a way to calculate shipping rate based on a customer buying multiples of the same product?
Hey Leo, thanks for reaching out. That is a great question! Shopify does allow you to create your own shipping rates based on the weight or number of products that your customer is purchasing: shopify.link/2B56.
Hello! What if I need more than 1 box to ship the order? How will shopify know that to calculate for customer at checkout? Not all items will fit in one box most of the times.
Hi, Rebecca. Thanks for reaching out to us! I recommend looking into integrating a shipping app to add custom box sizes based on the product that has the ability to alert the system when an order will be shipped in multiple boxes. For multi-piece shipments, check out the app Shippo (bit.ly/3ksO4Kr) or ShipStation: bit.ly/3m4zaus. Additionally, you can also browse the Shopify App Store (bit.ly/3xQBGXE) for more shipping app options.
Good video. Can a USA shopify seller send their goods from China? Can shopify website show a Chinese express company's logistic information ?
Is there a way to ship heavy items? Can you also make a video on that? Seems like Shopify on goes to 68 lbs. I am looking at average shipping weight to be 2000 lbs. can you help on how can I succeed in this using Shopify?
Hi, Ansar. Thanks for your comment. As Shopify Shipping utilizes carrier accounts with various shipping companies, there will be requirements & limits based on the company's various restrictions - this isn't something we can control. For very large and bulky products, it might be best to manually calculate the rates. Have you considered using flat rates instead, and purchasing the shipping labels directly from a shipping company of your choosing?
Returns - I need to find your video on Return shipping labels.
Hi! You might find this useful bit.ly/3w2hORE!
Michelle is so sweet 😄
The videos are very helpful. I have a question is there any way to link certain size packages to certain products. After entering all your packages dimensions it only let you use one of them as a default for all products and it doesn’t make any sense to me. Unless I’m missing something!!!
Hey, there. You can adjust the packages when purchasing shipping labels. However, the online store can only have one default package. That being said, if you need to calculate shipping rates for dimensional packages, then we'd recommend using something like Boxify bit.ly/3TI0fzP. Cheers!
@@learnwithshopify thank you so much for the quick response. I didn’t launch my store yet and I have the real time carrier rate calculations. So the calculations will be off I guess, so I have to keep that in mind so I either add little extra for the product or use the biggest size package I have as the default package and get the highest rate possible is that correct!!!
That is definitely a route you can take! Although, this could be overcharging customers for smaller items (if you're looking to set a higher rate for the biggest package size you have) and may affect the conversion rate. But if this is totally up to you! As mentioned above, you can also take a look at third party apps!
@@learnwithshopify I will check Boxify out. Thank you again
Im havg trouble assigning package sizes to each product. For example, one of my items is shipped in a small padded envelope while another is shipped in a large 26” box. I want to use the calculate shippg option bc if a customer in CA purchases vs NY the $ rate is very different. Please can you advise? Ive watchd so many of these videos and seem to be missg this detail.
Hey there, Angie. Shipping products and packages of various sizes can make setting up your shipping rates a challenge, but there are third-party apps that can help you with this if you wish to use live rates at checkout. I would recommend checking out Boxify: bit.ly/3pdUR9C. This is an app that allows you to assign different packages to your products, which can help you offer more accurate shipping rates to your customers and have more control over your shipping in general.
Thank you SO much for your help!
How to add local supplier to shopify store and integrate it with shipping partner?
Hello Michelle,
All the link you send from bitly is invalid. Please attach the workable link.
Hi there, Shihabur. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I took some time to go through the Bitly links, and only the very first link appears to be leading to a 404 Error, so you should still be able to view the other available resources! The first link is meant to lead to this webpage: bit.ly/3vo08jm. We should have the Bitly linked in the video updated shortly so it no longer leads to that 404 page. Thanks again for pointing that out to us!
Yes you are right I am in the right place..............
Does Shopify find couriers for you also?
I'm considering moving my Etsy store to Shopify but I can't find the ONE answer I need. I sell stickers, so my shipping is only $.60 for an envelope. But all other systems asked for dimensions and when I put in the envelope size, suddenly it cost over $4. Does Shopify have a way to stick with the $.60 cost for shipping of a simple envelope? Thank you!
Hi there, Nirelle! We're happy to provide you with some information while you consider your move away from Etsy! Shopify allows you to set your own shipping rates in your stores, so you're not just stuck using rates that are determined by package dimensions. Your stickers are a great example of this! If you know that it only costs you around $.60 to pay for shipping, you can set a flat rate for this price in your store, and apply it to all of your stickers. You can find more information on how to do this at this link here: bit.ly/3dmnVpA. Our resources refer to these types of shipping rates as 'flat rates.' Let us know if you have any additional questions!
how do i change the 5-8 shipping speed seen by customers to 4-6
Hey there, thanks for dropping this question! If you are dropshipping it's important to check on the actual shipping options provided by your supplier to make sure what your customers see is accurate. Once you figure that out you can head to Settings > Shipping > Manage Rates and edit the titles of your rates to match what your supplier offers. I would recommend checking out our Help Guide on Shipping Settings bit.ly/3rWfnO4 but more importantly Oberlo's Shipping Settings for Dropshipping guide here bit.ly/3BrOZit I would love to hear about the dropshipping business you are looking to start!
Carhartt coveralls make this so much easier to learn 😂
What if I have some inventory at my house and I am sending my sister a free tshirt. Can I just print a label still. Cause all i get is " Can’t create shipping labels
The selected order is not eligible for shipping labels.
1 order doesn't have items that need fulfillment:"
It sounds like you might have the "This item doesn't require shipping" enabled on this product. Or order fulfillment is being done by a third party app or service. I am not able to confirm this through UA-cam though. I do recommend contacting our authenticated support team, they should be able to resolve this with you.
I am dropshipping using shein importer but there isn’t many videos on it I want to send the product from the supplier after purchase to someone to rebrand at a warehouse then ship to customer without having to send all my products to a warehouse I don’t need storage

You can check out some of the popular product-sourcing apps used by our merchants here in our app store: shopify.link/WYJ7.

Hi there! That is definitely possible, depending on your fulfillment process. Please feel free to provide more insight into how you plan on fulfilling your orders. For example, do you intend to keep inventory and fulfill them yourself, or will you be using a third-party supplier?
