What is meant by - Free Shipping mode - and - Non-Free Shipping mode - ?
Select your preferred shipping mode for your website:
We provide the option to switch between two different shipping modes on your turnkey website i.e. “Free Shipping” and “Without-Free Shipping” mode.
If you enable “Free Shipping” mode for your website, customers would be given free shipping when they place order on your website. When “Free Shipping” mode is enabled, the shipping fee would be automatically added to the cost of the product on your website (Before adding the sales margin). The shipping fee added to the product cost is calculated based on the weight of the product as follows (In USD):
If you choose to enable "Without-Free Shipping” mode, no shipping fee would be added to the product cost, and the product cost would be same as the one listed on the product page of turnkeymaster.com. Customers would be provided with different shipping fee options when they check out their order on your website. The shipping fee is calculated based on the weight of each product/order. You can refer to the shipping fee calculation on http://www.turnkeymaster.com/help/shipping-policies
Shipping Methods - How do you ship the order for the two respective shipping modes?
When you select the "Free shipping" mode, the order would be shipped out via USPS/ E-packet (For USA and some other countries) or registered mail (For the rest of the countries). Your customers do not have to pay for shipping fee if they select to check out with "Free shipping". However, they have the option to upgrade the shipping method to "Expedited shipping" whereby the order would be shipped by DHL, UPS or TNT.
*** Note: The shipping method would be automatically upgraded to "Expedited shipping" which would be shipped by DHL or UPS with no additional charge, if there are more than 2 items purchased in one order. Therefore, it is more cost effective to ask your customers to order 3 items at least in one order so that they could enjoy faster shipping.
Shipping time:
E-packet: 7 to 14 working days
Registered mail: 14 to 21 working days
Expedited shipping (Express): 3 to 5 working days
