Understanding Shipping Methods (Choosing the Right Option)
What are Shipping Methods?
Shipping methods determine how an order will be delivered.
They are typically linked to:
Carrier (e.g. DPD, DHL)
Service level (e.g. Next Day, Economy)
Delivery speed and cost
How to Choose the Right Shipping Method
The correct method depends on:
Delivery speed required
Destination (domestic vs international)
Order type (B2C vs B2B)
Customer expectations
Examples:
Next Day → urgent customer orders
Economy → cost-effective shipping
Timed delivery → B2B or scheduled deliveries
Using Shipping Rules
If “Use Shipping Rules” is selected:
Pimento will automatically assign a method based on predefined logic (e.g. weight, location)
If selecting manually:
Choose the appropriate service from the list
Important Notes
Incorrect selection may lead to delays or failed deliveries
B2B orders may require specific services
