- Delivery from the seller to the final buyer is done by seller in China, who added his goods to Dropwow.
- Delivery cost is already included in price of goods. Delivery is carried out by ePacket within 10-20 days.
- Since delivery is done directly, there is no such thing as "Internal delivery" when working with Dropwow. This means that you do not need to configure it and only "External delivery" needs to be configured.
Therefore, you need to set up free external delivery in admin panel of OT Box.
...
