TikTok Shop fulfilment and shipping: keeping delivery promises

A viral video can bring orders faster than you expected. Fulfilment is where many new sellers lose trust, so plan it before you need it.

Set promises you can keep

Choose a handling time you can meet even in a busy week. It is better to ship earlier than promised than to miss a date.

Rules, fees and programs change. Treat this as a planning guide and confirm current details in the marketplace's own seller help pages before you act.

Prepare for sudden demand

  • Keep a safety buffer of stock for products that are being promoted.
  • Know how fast you can pack and ship.
  • Have packaging ready in advance.
  • Pause promotion if stock runs low.

Daily routine

  1. Check new orders each morning.
  2. Print labels and upload tracking promptly.
  3. Reply to customer messages.
  4. Review returns and reasons.
