Managing large international orders can be complex. Sometimes, you need certain items shipped immediately while waiting for others to arrive at the warehouse. LoongBuy's partial shipment service is designed for this exact scenario. This guide walks you through the process of requesting split deliveries, calculating potential costs, and effectively managing your tracking information.
What Are Partial Shipments?

- Some items are ready for dispatch while others are still being sourced or are out of stock.
