Late Confirmed Fulfillment Fine 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 a better customer experience, Wish is announcing a new Fulfillment Policy in line with customer expectations.

For all orders released on April 12, 2018 or later, orders that are confirmed fulfilled late may be fined according to the Late Confirmed Fulfillment Policy 5.5. 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). 

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

Merchants will be fined 20% of the order value, or $1, whichever is greater, for any orders that are not confirmed shipped within 168 hours of the order being released. Order value is defined as order quantity * (merchant set price + shipping price).

Addendum: This fine policy will only apply to orders where (merchant price + shipping price) are less than $100.00.
