How does it work?

In your Shipping Template configuration, you’ll choose your preferred shipping method, regions and ship cost.

Manual shipping settings (domestic)

If you don’t use an approved shipping carrier or offer free shipping, you’ll need to add your shipping settings manually. There are several types of templates you can add:  

• Default: Each Seller Center account has one Default Shipping Template that you can’t delete but you can customize to your shipping needs. The Default configurations will apply to your entire catalog unless you’ve created and assigned sku’s to other custom Shipping Templates. We suggest applying your longest anticipated transit time to your Default template if you intend on having multiple custom Shipping Templates to avoid your Default template overriding your custom templates.  
• Custom: You can create up to 60 different Custom Shipping Templates for your seller-fulfilled items. If you use a third-party fulfillment provider, such as Deliverr (also known as Flexport), you can create 30 additional templates for the items that they fulfill on your behalf.  If SKUs aren't assigned to a Custom Shipping Template, the items will reflect the settings set in the Default Shipping Template. This includes transit times, delivery estimates and ship cost rules. 

• Paid Standard: Use the Paid Standard Shipping Template for items that don’t qualify for free standard shipping. You’ll also use this template if you need to disable Value shipping. To set up this template, choose the Set up special template link on the Shipping Templates page and choose Paid Standard Template. After setting up the paid template, you'll need to assign which SKU's will be linked to the newly created Paid Standard Template.

• Freight: Use the Freight Shipping Template for domestically shipping large and bulky items that require less-than-truckload (LTL). An item qualifies for freight if it falls within a designated freight category or if its shipping weight exceeds 150 pounds. If you attempt to add an item to the template that doesn't qualify, the non-qualifying SKU will remain on the previously assigned template. Once the template is set up, choose a transit time from six to 10 days.
  

  To set up this template, choose the  Set up special template link on the Shipping Templates page and choose Freight Template. 

International shipping settings

• International: Use the International Shipping Template for items that are shipped from China, Hong Kong or India. The International Shipping Template allows you to configure longer transit times up to 13 days.
