1.1 Definitions

• Ready to Ship: After a consumer places an order, the seller uploads the tracking number in the Seller Center. This can be done either by filling in the logistics tracking number on the back-end or importing the logistics tracking number in bulk, etc. The shipping time of the seller shall be based on the operation shipping time recorded in the seller center.
• Seller Shipping: Sellers provide order fulfillment through their own selected/preferred logistics carriers.
• Shipment in Transit: The first shipping information of the order updated on its corresponding logistics company's official website, will be regarded as package collection.

Important: Marking an item as Ready to Ship or Transit to Ship constitutes confirmation of shipping.

For detailed instructions on how to use this feature, please refer to the Virtual Bundles guide.
