Labels, Data, and Packing Essentials #
Shipped by Seller (3PL): Upload tracking correctly
You can upload tracking in two ways:
- Bulk (Excel): Orders > Manage Orders > Upload. Fill Shipping Provider Name + Tracking ID. Don’t move/delete columns. Upload the file back.
- Manual: Orders > Manage Orders. Filter Shipped by Seller. Select orders > Add Tracking Info. Enter tracking ID, choose carrier, Submit.
Shipped by TikTok Shop (4PL): Label printing requirements
- Print labels 102 x 152 mm, landscape. Text must be clear and fully visible.
- Drop-off and Pick-up labels are not interchangeable. Using the wrong label can lead to rejection, return, or delivery failure.
Hazardous & Prohibited Goods #
- Ship only products permitted by the carrier.
- Follow the logistics provider’s instructions for special handling (examples listed): liquids, sharp items, fragile items, perishables, textiles, and hazardous materials.
- Notify the carrier before shipping if special handling is required.
Hand-off & Monitoring #
Shipped by Seller (3PL)
You are responsible for monitoring the shipment and fixing issues fast:
- You are responsible for monitoring shipment status and handling shipping-related buyer issues (delays, misdeliveries, lost parcels).
- Use Action Needed and the Logistics issue filter (example issue types shown include “No tracking data found” and “Logistic Provider Mismatch”).
Shipped by TikTok Shop (4PL)
- Drop-off at a local parcel shop (default) or Pick-up from your warehouse (if selected).
- For Pick-up: the system schedules collection for the next working day based on parcels in RTS (“Awaiting Collection”).
Prohibited Shipping Behaviours (Zero-Tolerance) #
- Uploading early or fake tracking info to trigger RTS is strictly against platform policy.
- Using an unauthorised carrier can result in automatic order cancellation with no compensation to the seller.
- Using the wrong handover label (Drop-off label used for Pick-up or vice versa) can cause parcel rejection, return, or delivery failure.
