Common Questions Around Standard Shipping

Navigate the intricacies of standard shipping with our dedicated section on "Common Questions Around Standard Shipping." This resource is crafted to answer your questions surrounding standard delivery. From understanding how long standard shipping takes, to figuring out tracking details and handling delivery exceptions, we answer all the crucial queries to help optimize your shipping process. This FAQ section aims to equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions and ensure smooth operations for your online business.

What is standard delivery?

Standard delivery is the most common type of shipping available in the Philippines and is used by many e-commerce businesses. It is also the most affordable option for sending small to large and light to heavy items. Typically, it takes 2-8 business days, depending on the destination and the time or season.

Are there any restrictions?

Yes, there are some restrictions when it comes to Standard delivery. Packages need to follow specific size and weight requirements. For example, items must fit within standard pouches or boxes and meet weight limits, typically 20 kg or less. While shippers don't need to consider the vehicle type used by the couriers, they should ensure their packaging size fits the standard dimensions provided.

Additionally, there are restrictions on certain types of products. For instance, food items like frozen goods cannot be shipped through standard delivery. It's important to check with the courier service for any other specific restrictions that may apply to your products.

What if my customer is unavailable to receive the delivery?

From a seller's or shipper's perspective, it can be challenging when a customer is unavailable to receive a delivery. If the customer is unavailable after multiple delivery attempts, the package may be marked as "Return to Sender," which can incur additional charges for the shipper. To minimize this risk, it's essential to communicate delivery schedules clearly with customers and ensure they are available during the expected delivery window. Offering options for customers to reschedule delivery times can also help prevent failed delivery attempts and reduce the likelihood of incurring extra costs.

What are the working days of standard delivery?

Courier schedules may vary depending on the courier partner. Most couriers operate 7 days a week within business hours and only close on special or national non-working holidays. To help manage your customers' expectations, if a pick-up is booked, we can commit that couriers will pick up your shipments within 1-2 business days.

Does standard delivery work for international shipping?

Yes, standard delivery can be used for international shipping. However, it’s important to note that Shipmates currently operates exclusively within the Philippines. Our services are tailored to meet the local shipping demands, providing efficient and reliable delivery across the country. While we focus on enhancing and expanding our local delivery capabilities, international shipping services are not yet available through Shipmates. For businesses and individuals looking to ship internationally, we recommend exploring other options until we expand our services globally.

Can I track packages with different courier partners using Shipmates?

Absolutely! With Shipmates, tracking your standard delivery packages is straightforward and convenient, no matter which courier you choose. Once you ship your package using J&T Express, LBC Express, or any of our other partner couriers, you can track its journey directly from our platform. Simply enter the tracking number provided in your shipping confirmation email into the tracking tool on the Shipmates website or app. You'll receive real-time updates about the status of your package and its estimated delivery date, ensuring you always know where your shipment is and when it's expected to arrive.
