What happened?
TikTok Shop Japan’s shipping policy states that merchants using Ship by Seller must use platform-approved integrated carriers and trackable delivery services and promptly and accurately enter the carrier name and tracking number after shipment. Sellers must also prepare orders, hand them over to the carrier, or arrange pickup within the platform’s fulfillment deadlines and proactively follow up on logistics exceptions. If a package is delayed due to the carrier, arrives after an order is canceled, or encounters other logistics issues, the seller must work with the carrier and independently pursue compensation. Sellers using Ship by TikTok must follow the platform’s designated logistics process. Low-cost logistics not integrated with the platform, fake pre-entered tracking numbers, or tracking that remains unupdated after shipment may affect the on-time shipment rate, valid tracking rate, refund rate, and account health.
