The original scenario is that the Seller creates a profile, sets a price and according to the weight and dimension of the product, Lazada determines the cost of shipping.
However, Lazada also allows Sellers to contribute to the shipping cost. This could be a full or partial subsidy.
We often offer partial subsidy. Let's say the shipping cost is 40 Baht, and we are willing to contribute 25 Baht to this, so Buyer pays only 15 Baht.
Also, Lazada has shipping promotions that can be redeemed by certain buyers depending on how many coins they accumulate or how much they spend on their platform.
They call it free shipping but in reality, they often subsidize shipping costs only up to 40 Baht.
Edit: Sellers can choose to use Lazada's pick up service or they want to drop off their orders at local branches. We usually use the pick-up service from Lazada.
Seller own Sellers send the orders however they like, but they still have to stick to deadlines.
If the Seller misses deadlines, the buyer will be entitled to refunds and can reject the shipment .
