My fulfillment company can only ship domestic. How do I ship via Yakit?
Many order fulfillment centers only handle single package shipments. For international they may only ship Duties Unpaid (DDU) which may result in buyer dissatisfaction and delays. Yakit now supports shipping via a Yakit Hub partner. Your fulfillment company may simply ship domestically to a nearby Hub partner of ours, who will relabel, bundle and optimize your shipments so you can get the benefits of Yakit’s shipping - without changing your processes. Contact your Yakit Support champion via Y-Chat so we can set you up for simple shipping.
How does Yakit make money?
Yakit gets best-in-class shipping rates from our worldwide logistics carriers. These rates improve as new merchants join Yakit. Our shipping rate includes a commission. Our goal is to ensure that you, the merchant and your customer never have any concerns or risks in shipping, duties and taxes. There are no monthly fees, minimums, or extra charges.
Can I ship personal packages to my friends and family abroad?
No. Yakit is purely a business to consumer (B2C) shipping platform for Commercial Goods - i.e. we don't ship personal effects, samples, gifts. All our shipments are duties and taxes paid and are for sales to your customers (buyers). You, as the merchant, are the Exporter of Record and you must to be a registered business. Your buyers are the Importers of Record and Yakit provides the shipping, duties and taxes clearance service with our logistics partners.
Can I purchase products from Yakit to grow my drop shipping business?
Yakit does not offer products for purchase in any form. Yakit is an international delivery service that allows drop shippers anywhere in the world to ship their products to consumers worldwide. Drop ship merchants can organize their international deliveries utilizing our software and logistics, so that they may send a shipment to an end consumer with all duties and taxes prepaid. Yakit supports this capability from the United States, India, China, the European Union and many other countries around the world.
Does Yakit do domestic shipping?
Good news! By popular demand, we are now offering domestic shipping within the USA. This means, US merchants may use Yakit to ship to US consumers - with the same ease of use that they are used to for international shipments. If you have questions, ask your Yakit support champion via Y-Chat. At present this domestic service is only available in the US. Stay tuned for other countries as we expand our services. Of course you can continue to ship internationally from other countries.
Are there any minimums?
Yakit has no minimum shipping weights or volumes. However you will find that if you ship more packages to the same region (eg EU) with Yakit Standard (our diverse carrier service), you will see that the rates go down, because the first mile charges are now shared among many shipments. You may consider waiting and grouping Yakit Standard shipments to take advantage of this. This does not apply to Yakit Domestic and Yakit Express shipments. It also does not apply to Yakit Standard shipments you are sending to a Yakit Hub partner for bulking.
