Shipping Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

Service Overview

Teraorder is a unified commerce platform designed to manage orders, inventory, and customer relationships. This Shipping Policy clarifies how shipping and delivery services are handled within our system.

Important Note: Teraorder is a B2B2C platform software. We do not directly ship physical products. Instead, we help merchants and businesses manage their own shipping operations and third-party logistics.

Our Role in Shipping

Teraorder Provides Shipping Management Tools

Teraorder helps merchants:

  • Manage order fulfillment workflows
  • Track inventory and stock levels
  • Generate shipping labels
  • Monitor courier and logistics partners
  • Provide customer tracking information
  • Integrate with multiple shipping carriers
  • Manage returns and exchange processes

Clarification: We do not own, operate, or directly handle shipments. Merchants using Teraorder remain responsible for arranging and managing actual product shipments through their chosen couriers.

Merchant Shipping Responsibility

Merchants using Teraorder are solely responsible for:

  • Product Packaging: Proper preparation and packaging of products
  • Carrier Selection: Choosing appropriate shipping carriers and methods
  • Shipping Costs: Bearing all shipping and logistics expenses
  • Delivery Guarantees: Fulfilling promised delivery timeframes
  • Insurance: Obtaining shipping insurance if needed
  • Compliance: Adhering to shipping regulations and carrier policies
  • Customer Communication: Updating customers on shipment status
  • Loss/Damage Resolution: Handling claims for lost or damaged items

Supported Shipping Methods

Teraorder integrates with major shipping carriers, including:

Local & Regional

  • Malaysia Post
  • Ninjavan
  • J&T
  • Lalamove
  • Local couriers

International

  • DHL
  • FedEx
  • UPS
  • EMS
  • Other carriers

Integration availability depends on carrier partnerships and system support. Merchants can also use carriers not listed if manual label entry is available.

Shipping Timeframes

Order Processing

Merchants are responsible for processing and preparing orders for shipment within their stated timeframes (typically 1-3 business days). Teraorder provides tools to track order status but does not guarantee processing speed.

In-Transit Times

Delivery times depend on:

  • Chosen shipping method and carrier
  • Destination location
  • Shipping insurance options
  • Customs clearance (international orders)
  • Weather and force majeure events

No Guaranteed Delivery

Teraorder does not guarantee delivery timelines. We provide tracking information and status updates, but actual delivery depends on carrier performance and external factors beyond our control.

Shipping Costs & Fees

Merchant-Set Shipping Costs

Merchants determine their own shipping rates within Teraorder. We do not control, regulate, or negotiate shipping costs. Merchants may:

  • Offer free shipping
  • Charge flat shipping fees
  • Set shipping rates by weight or location
  • Offer multiple shipping options with different costs

Teraorder Platform Fees

Teraorder may charge processing or integration fees for shipping management features included in certain subscription plans. These fees are separate from actual shipping costs and are billed monthly.

Order Tracking

Teraorder provides:

  • Real-time order status updates
  • Integration with carrier tracking systems
  • Customer-accessible tracking information
  • Notifications for shipping milestones
  • Courier contact information and labels

Tracking information is provided "as-is" based on carrier data. We are not responsible for inaccuracies in carrier tracking or delays in status updates.

Returns & Exchanges

Merchant Return Policy

Each merchant sets their own return and exchange policy. Teraorder provides tools to manage returns but does not enforce or guarantee any return policy. Customers should review each merchant's specific return policy before purchase.

Return Logistics

Return shipping is typically the responsibility of either:

  • The customer (merchant does not cover return shipping)
  • The merchant (merchant provides prepaid return label)

Return Exceptions

Returns may not be accepted for:

  • Items damaged by customer negligence
  • Custom or personalized items
  • Items outside return window
  • Items returned in unacceptable condition

Liability & Limitations

No Liability for Shipping Issues

Teraorder is not responsible for:

  • Shipping delays or failures
  • Lost, damaged, or stolen packages
  • Customs delays or import taxes
  • Carrier negligence or errors
  • Force majeure events (natural disasters, strikes, etc.)
  • Merchant's failure to ship items

Carrier Responsibility

Shipping carriers are responsible for packages once accepted. Claims for loss, damage, or delay should be directed to the responsible carrier, not Teraorder.

Special Circumstances

Restricted Items

Merchants are responsible for ensuring items comply with all shipping carrier restrictions. Prohibited items include hazardous materials, weapons, and items restricted by law. Merchants must declare any restricted items properly.

International Shipping

For international orders, merchants must:

  • Complete customs documentation
  • Declare item values accurately
  • Ensure compliance with destination country import laws
  • Provide accurate address information

Large or Oversized Items

Merchants shipping oversized or heavy items may incur higher carrier costs. Special handling, signature requirements, or freight services may apply at the merchant's expense.

Dispute Resolution

For shipping-related disputes:

  • Customer Contact Merchant: Customers should contact the merchant first with shipping concerns
  • Merchant Resolution: Merchants should attempt to resolve with customers or file claims with carriers
  • Teraorder Mediation: If unresolved, Teraorder support may assist (not guaranteed)
  • Carrier Claims: Loss or damage claims should be filed with the carrier

Changes to This Policy

Teraorder may update this Shipping Policy as our platform evolves and new carrier integrations become available. Changes are effective immediately upon posting. We encourage merchants to review this policy periodically.
