No matter how you choose to ship to various regions across the country, the best way to manage it all is with Shipping Templates. This recently launched tool, found in Seller Center, gives sellers the power to design custom templates to optimize their shipping strategy. Sellers can create multiple easy-to-use Shipping Templates that include custom configurations, flexible transit times, granular delivery regions across the US and reports. As another example, you could set up a template with Standard shipping, but with the transit time as flexible it can be three, four, or five days.
Plus, selecting a three-day transit time for your Standard shipping method enables the ThreeDay Delivery program for your products and gives them a Buy Box boost on Walmart. This template workflow provides a great way to see an overview of your shipping rules for your whole catalog, which may require different settings if your assortment includes both small items and bulky items, for example.
Quickly download reports to see which SKUs are assigned to each template. Get a more in-depth and visual overview of Shipping Templates in this QuickStart video tutorial.
