I imported a product on my Shopify store from Aliexpress for dropshipping. but I can see that there is only USA to USA shipping available, but I wanna sell this product also in Brunei and some other countries like Australia, but shipping is not available for all of the countries, and sometimes it’s showing a long shipping time more than a month with huge shipping fee!!!
is there any solution for this?
Hi there, @obaidbadsha . Thanks for coming to the Shopify Community today with your question about shipping this imported product!
Since you’re importing products via AliExpress into your Shopify store, I’m going to wager that you’re using Oberlo, and you’re running a dropshipping-style of business. As such, the areas in which your imported products can be shipped is going to be controlled by the supplier of the products. If the product you’ve found only ships within the US, that is likely because the supplier is only able to ship that product within that region for the time being, for example. In order to get around this, you will want to find another version of this product that is being sold from a supplier that has a larger shipping reach.
In terms of shipping costs and shipping times, much of the world is currently experiencing labour shortages and large shipping delays. Many suppliers that folks use for dropshipping are going to be impacted by these shortages and delays, and as a result, shipping times and shipping costs have increased. Finding suppliers that can satisfy your customers in different regions of the world is the best way for you to navigate this, for the time being. Shipping times for suppliers should begin to return to normal as shortages decrease and delays are resolved, but us here at Shopify can’t determine when that may be.
All in all, in a dropshipping business model, the key is to find suppliers and products that are able to ship products in a reasonable timeframe, and at a reasonable cost to you. This does take some time, but those suppliers are out there on AliExpress!
