Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I enter the postal service charges "shipping service fee" or "additional charges"?

This depends on how you pay your postman.

If your contract with the postal service requires that you pay the service charges separately, you should enter the charge-per-order in "additional charges."

If your postman charges your customers a service fee upon delivering a package, please enter this fee in "Shipping service fee."

In both cases, your customer will need to pay for the postal service charge. The only difference is that the shipping service fee will NOT be reflected on the order confirmation.
