TikTok Shop has launched Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT), a new logistics program in the United Kingdom that makes it easier for merchants to sell on the platform.
Through this program, TikTok Shop stores, picks, packs and then ships merchants' products to the TikTok community. It is designed to help free merchants from time-consuming logistics.
FBT offers same day, automated fulfilment for all orders made by 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday. There is also an option for a next working day premium delivery service.
Merchants must be based in the UK and give a volume of their stock to be stored in a warehouse.
TikTok Shop charges fees for warehousing, shipping and other added value services such as labelling, pre-packing and inserting leaflets.
Ning Cheah, founder of skin care and makeup brand The Beauty Crop, said, "As a small independent company, it's always great to find ways to help make things more efficient . Since using FBT, we've seen volumes increase by 30%, shipping lead times drop by 36% and late dispatch rates drop by over 45%. It's made a huge difference."
