Hello all!!
Thank you in advance for reading my post.
So for the past year, we operated our business by shipping everything directly from our warehouse in China.
So, what I did was set up a location in China in the backend, as shown below. As fulfill orders from this location.
Because Shopify shipment does not cooperate with any carrier in China, when I want to add a rate for this location, I do not have pre-set choice from carriers, but have to create my own (below)
This has been okay for the past year because we fulfill orders only from this location. So all I have to do is to have a shipping policy and then make it a link at check-out. Simple and nice.
However, now this year, I want to show the expected delivery time at check-out, rather than a link to the shipping policy. To do that, I need to have transit days as shown below, which I don’t have if I use my own rate.
So this kind of goes into a dead loop. To show the expected delivery date → need to have transit days. To have transit days → Need to have carriers in location. but the China location does not have a carrier, and creating my own rate is the only option, and it does not have transit days…
This brings my first question: How to make transit days for this location?
Further, this year we create a second warehouse in Canada. While I try to create a rate for that location, I see this:
As you see, there are pre-set options, which are Shopify shipments. This brings my second question:
It seems if I do not cooperate with the shopify shipment, I cannot show expected delivery date at check-out due to I don’t have transit days. So, how do I make it show up at check-out, while I have my own carriers and calculated delivery dates?
Thank you for reading this all alone and all your help is appreciated.
Best,
Sam
