AliExpress shipping methods can vary by product, supplier, and destination. With DSers Shipping Settings, you can rank preferred methods or define cost, delivery, and tracking conditions. DSers then checks the options each supplier currently supports and applies a matching method to eligible orders—so you do not have to make the same choice again and again.
Get Started
Reusable order rules
DSers Shipping Settings automates method selection for AliExpress-sourced products. Create a Global or country-specific rule for regular orders, or assign a preferred method to a specific mapped product and destination.
A saved rule does not guarantee that the same shipping method will always be available. Availability still depends on the supplier, product, and destination. DSers compares the methods currently offered with your saved priorities or conditions and selects a match.
One-off choice vs. reusable rule
Manual selection sends you back to the supplier’s method list for every order to compare cost, delivery time, and tracking. Saved Shipping Settings keep your preferences ready and check them against the methods available for the next eligible order.

Saved DSers settings
Two selection modes
Basic mode ranks named methods; Advanced mode filters available methods by cost, delivery time, and tracking.
Choose Global or a specific country, add methods your suppliers support, and rank them in the order you prefer. DSers checks the list from top to bottom and selects the first available match. A country-specific rule overrides Global. If multiple rules exist for the same country, DSers checks the top rule first.
Choose a destination and set requirements for tracking, maximum delivery period, and maximum shipping cost. When multiple methods meet those conditions, DSers can select the lowest-cost or fastest option.
Before you save a rule
Review what the supplier currently offers, use recent account data as a reference, and decide whether shipping cost should feed into your product pricing.
In Import List, open the product card’s Shipping Info. Use the SKU switch and country search to review available methods, shipping costs, and estimated delivery times.
For methods you have used, DSers may show average time and cost from your account’s previous three months of orders. Methods you have not used display a dash. These figures are reference data, not delivery guarantees.
When Send product and shipping cost to Store is enabled, DSers can send the combined cost to your store. A Basic Pricing Rule based on Total cost can use that amount before calculating the selling price.
Specific beats general
When one mapped product needs a different method from the country default, create a product-based rule for that product, destination, and supplier-supported method. Set it up in Shipping Settings, or open Favorite Suppliers under Product Mapping and select Shipping Info.
A method selected manually on the order card takes highest priority.
A product-based rule overrides the broader country setting.
The country-based rule remains the general default.
Set the rules once
Start with methods the supplier currently supports, then save your rule and confirm the result on an eligible order.
In Import List, open the product card’s Shipping Info, choose the SKU and destination, then compare supported methods, costs, and estimated delivery times.
Go to Settings → Shipping Settings, then open Add Global shipping method based on Condition. Choose Global or a specific country.
Use Basic to rank named methods. Use Advanced to set tracking, delivery-period, and cost conditions, then choose lowest cost or fastest delivery.
Save the rule and check the method selected on an eligible order. Add a product-based rule or override the method manually when an exception needs different treatment.
Set the cost, delivery, and tracking priorities your store needs. DSers can then apply a matching supplier-supported method to each eligible order while you keep manual control for exceptions.
Basic mode checks your ranked list and selects the first method the supplier supports. Advanced mode filters current methods by your tracking, delivery-period, and cost conditions, then selects the lowest-cost or fastest qualifying option.
Yes. A country-specific rule overrides Global for that destination. If you have more than one rule for the same country, DSers checks the top rule first.
Yes—if the product is mapped in DSers. Choose the product and destination, then select a method the supplier currently offers.
Basic mode moves to the next saved method. Advanced mode considers only methods that meet your conditions. If none match, review current supplier options and choose manually; saved rules cannot make an unavailable method available.
Yes. A method selected manually on the order card takes priority over product- and country-based rules.
