Business problems
Delivery fees worked out by hand, customers keep asking about the courier
Every delivery order raises two questions: how much is delivery, and where's the courier now? Set delivery fees once, then let customers see the courier's location themselves.
Common causes
- Delivery rates aren't set by zone.
- Couriers don't use an app linked to orders.
- Customers have no access to delivery status.
The impact
- Admin time goes into answering delivery status questions.
- Disputes when goods are claimed not to have arrived.
- Delivery fee mistakes cost the business money.
Common mistakes
What often makes this problem come back
Setting delivery fees per order
Fees that keep changing make customers hesitate and keep admins busy calculating. Set zones and rates once in the Kurir (Couriers) menu.
Courier jobs via personal messages
Jobs that aren't linked to an order can't be tracked. Assign couriers from the order page.
COD deposits not recorded
Cash carried by couriers easily comes up short. Receive deposits through the Setoran COD (COD deposits) tab so orders are recorded as paid.
