Shipping Automatically set to e-packet, can you change this for different products?

[David_A]

We have several products which offer e-packet shipping, but not for free. On those products we'd like the default shipping setting to be set to "Seller's shipping method" so it's free and we don't have to pay.

Anytime we process an order of one of these products through the aliexpress chrome extension it sets the shipping method to e-packet, can we change it so it sets it to the default shipping method, or seller's shipping method?

Hello David,

Thanks for contacting us!

By default AliDropship Plugin sets ePacket shipping method and currently there is no option to change this to seller's shipping method. We recommend using ePacket shipping method even if it's not free and add the shipping cost to a product's price or set up a paid shipping method.
We will consider making it possible to change the default shipping method chosen on AliExpress though, thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Best regards,
Igor

Igor,

Thanks for the reply! I agree it's better to use the e-packet on your orders. In our case we are doing a "giveaway" with a very cheap product and the e-packet shipping is $2 on a $0.20 item, so we need to choose the free method to make it financially viable. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was a small number of orders, we can just change it manually, but since we are going to be doing the giveaway we expect several thousand orders, and that extra step just adds unnecessary time to the fulfillment process.

Thanks for taking it into consideration on future updates!
