Basic Information About Shipping Policy
A Shipping Policy is a legally binding document intended to establish the legal relationship between you and your customers. It provides a legal framework that outlines your obligations to your customers, as well as addresses different scenarios that may arise and what happens in each case.
Having a Shipping Policy is a good practice and helps both you and your customers. Your customers can benefit from knowing what to expect from your service. You can benefit too, because having a clear Shipping Policy can increase visitors' likelihood of purchasing from your site, as it eliminates any questions about your shipping times or processes.
What to Include in a Shipping Policy
Shipping policies typically address topics like: order processing time; shipping costs; different domestic and international shipping solutions; potential service interruptions, and much more.
