Question 1

[Shopee Coins] I’ve made my purchases. When will I receive my Shopee Coins?

Accepted Answer

Shopee Coins earned from your purchases and / or from coins cashback vouchers will only be credited to your account after your order is completed - that is, after you have confirmed the receipt of your order.

Shopee Coins can be earned from purchases with coins cashback vouchers, such as 10% Cashback Vouchers and/or Seller Cashback Vouchers from any Shopee Mall sellers, Preferred+ sellers, Preferred sellers or normal sellers that are in Coins Cashback Programme (excluding purchases from the Tickets & Vouchers category).

If your order is underway but not completed yet, you can still see the amount of Shopee Coins attributed to this order by checking your order details. To check your order details, go to your Me page > My Purchases. You will receive these Shopee Coins once your order status has shifted to Completed.

Do check out our article on "How do I use my Shopee Coins" for you to fully utilize the coins and savings it offers.

Question 2

[Free Shipping] Why can't I get Free Shipping?

Accepted Answer

If you haven't already, you may claim Free Shipping Vouchers HERE.

Kindly visit "How to apply Free Shipping Voucher upon checkout?" for more information. If you have issues applying Free Shipping Vouchers, it may due to one of the following reasons:

Free Shipping Vouchers are fully claimed or used by other users.
You have used up all your Free Shipping Vouchers.
You did not adhere to the voucher's Terms & Conditions.
System Error

⚠️ Note You can clear cache by referring to the Basic Troubleshooting Guide.

Before using Free Shipping Vouchers, you will need to identify Free Shipping Sellers as Free Shipping vouchers can only be applied with these sellers. To identify Free Shipping Sellers, do look out for the Free Shipping tags on the product cover image.

For example, the product listing below displays "Free Shipping Min. Spend RM0" tag which tells us this a Free Shipping Seller.

What are the differences between Free Shipping Vouchers?

Here we can see an example of a Free Shipping Voucher. There are several things to look out for when using a Free Shipping Voucher.

Example of Free Shipping Voucher

1. ShopeePay Tag

Most Free Shipping Vouchers offered by Shopee require our users to complete payment via ShopeePay. To place your order with ShopeePay, kindly view our article "How do I pay using ShopeePay?"

2. Min. Spend Amount

The example above displays "RM12 Min. Spend", which means users will have to accumulate a minimum spend of RM12 from the same shop before checking out. However, this minimum amount may vary depending on the ongoing campaign or voucher. Furthermore, RM40 Free Shipping Vouchers are seasonal and only available during marketing campaigns. You may receive a notification regarding this voucher which will be automatically added to your voucher wallet.

3. Type of Sellers Tag

In the example above, we can see that the voucher is applicable for "All Sellers". However, certain Free Shipping Vouchers can only be used with Shopee Mall, Preferred or only Free Shipping Sellers. Kindly refer to the images below for more examples.

4. Validity Date

Kindly take note of the validity date of Free Shipping Vouchers as they may expire before you are able to use them.

If you still have shipping fees for your order despite using Free Shipping Voucher, this might be due to the maximum shipping fees subsidy capped per order. Kindly refer to this LINK for more information.

Question 8

[Order Protection] What is Shopee Guarantee?

Accepted Answer

Shopee Guarantee is a feature where payments to sellers are temporarily held by Shopee for a Shopee Guarantee period, only to be released when buyers confirm that orders are fulfilled and satisfactory.

This period is calculated based on the seller's Days to Ship (DTS) and Estimated Delivery Time, which starts from your payment confirmation date.

Here’s an example of how this can be calculated:

2 (Days to Ship¹) + 7 (Estimated Delivery Time²) + 3 (Buyer Confirmation Time³) = 12 days

¹ Days to Ship - number of days it takes seller to prepare for delivery

² Estimated Delivery Time - average delivery time by logistics partner

³ Buyer Confirmation Time - number of days it takes buyer to confirm receipt after delivery

For orders that have yet to be shipped

Sellers need to ensure that they have shipped the order out within the Shopee Guarantee period, otherwise the payment will be automatically refunded to you when this period ends.

You are allowed a one-time 3 days extension of the Shopee Guarantee period if sellers have yet to ship out the item. To do so, select Extend Shopee Guarantee in the Order Details page.

For orders that have already been shipped

You will need to confirm receipt of the order or request for return/refund within the Shopee Guarantee period, otherwise payment will be automatically released to sellers when this period ends. You are allowed a one-time 3 days extension of the Shopee Guarantee period if you have yet to receive an order that has been shipped. If you still have not received your order before the final day of the extension period, do request for a refund before the 3 days Shopee Guarantee extension period ends.
