Basic Information About the Shipping Policy
A Shipping Policy is a legally binding document that aims to establish the legal relationship between you and your customers. In addition to being a legal framework that outlines your obligations to your customers, it also addresses various scenarios and what will happen in each case.
Having a Shipping Policy is considered a good practice and benefits both you and your customers. Customers can benefit by gaining a clear understanding of what to expect from your service. You can benefit as well, because when your shipping times and processes are clearly stated, it reduces uncertainty and increases the likelihood that visitors will make a purchase from your site.
What Should Be Included in a Shipping Policy
Shipping policies typically cover topics such as order processing times, shipping fees, various domestic and international shipping options, potential service disruptions, and much more.
