Placing a large order on LoongBuy but need some items sooner? The platform's partial shipment feature is designed for exactly this scenario. This guide will walk you through the process of splitting your delivery, from the initial request to tracking your packages.
Understanding Partial Shipments
A partial shipment allows you to send available items from your warehouse cart first, while holding other items that may be out of stock or still in transit from the supplier. This is ideal for:
- Receiving urgent products without delay.
- Managing cash flow by spreading out shipping costs.
- Avoiding prolonged storage fees for ready items.

How to Request a Partial Shipment
Follow these steps to split your order:
- Log in to your LoongBuy account and go to "My Warehouse."
- Select the items you wish to ship immediately by checking their boxes.
- Click the "Submit for Shipment"
- For the remaining items, simply leave them unchecked in your warehouse. They will stay there until you are ready to ship them.
