Late Confirmed Fulfillment Penalty Policy

Customers expect orders made on Wish to be fulfilled in a timely manner. Orders that are not fulfilled in a timely manner lead to a poor customer shopping experience and hurt overall merchant performance in the Wish marketplace in the long run. To provide better customer experience, Wish is announcing a new Fulfillment Policy in line with customer expectations.

Orders that are confirmed fulfilled late may be penalized according to the Late Confirmed Fulfillment Policy 5.5:

• If (merchant price per item + shipping price per item) is less than $100, an order is considered to be confirmed fulfilled late if the time period from when the order is released to merchant to when the first carrier scan was recorded is longer than 168 hours (7 days).
• If (merchant price per item + shipping price per item) is greater than or equal to $100, an order is considered to be confirmed fulfilled late if the time period from when the order is released to merchant to when the first carrier scan was recorded is longer than 336 hours (14 days).

What are the penalty details for orders that are confirmed fulfilled late?  

Merchants will be penalized 20% of the order value, or $1, whichever is greater, for any orders that are not confirmed shipped based on the following criteria:

• Orders where (merchant price per item + shipping price per item) is less than $100 that are not confirmed shipped within 168 hours of the order being released will be penalized. 
• Orders where (merchant price per item + shipping price per item) is equal to or greater than $100 that are not confirmed shipped within 336 hours of the order being released will be penalized.

Order value is defined as order quantity * (merchant set price + shipping price).

An order's penalty for late confirmed fulfillment will be reversed if the order is confirmed delivered by the carrier within X days from when the order was released to the merchant. 'X' varies by country, which you can view here. However, the penalty will not be reversed if the merchant updates the tracking number for any reason.

Please allow up to 72 hours for penalties to be reversed after the delivery status of orders is updated.
