Wish Introduces Flat Rate Shipping to Customers in the U.S.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ContextLogic Inc. (d/b/a Wish) (NASDAQ: WISH), one of the world’s largest mobile ecommerce platforms, today announced the phased rollout of a new $2.99 flat rate shipping fee that will be applied to all ‘flat rate eligible’ orders over $101. Flat rate shipping is launching to app users in the U.S. this month, and will be rolled out in phases to Wish’s other key markets by the end of March.

The move is part of a broader effort to improve the shipping experience on Wish which has, in the past 6 months alone, seen a dramatic improvement in on-time delivery rates (94%) and a significant reduction in time to door (15 days in key markets)2.

“Shipping costs have been a major pain point for our users for some time, so we’re delighted to have found a flat rate shipping solution that not only offers our customers great value, but also carries no additional cost to our merchants,” said Mauricio Monico, Chief Merchant Officer, Product at Wish. “Today, around 85% of our product listings are eligible for flat rate shipping, but our goal is to include all of our product listings in the program over the coming months by the end of the year.”

Flat rate shipping does not apply to Wish’s ‘ship to store’ or ‘express shipping’ service. It is also currently only available via the Wish app on iOS and Android. Web and mobile-web will follow in the coming months.
