What is LazMall and what are its commission surcharges? ▼

Fulfilment by Lazada (FBL) operates logistics hubs across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. FBL pick-pack charges start around $0.80 to $1.50 per unit, with discounted monthly storage for fast-moving inventory under 60 days.
How does Lazada Free Shipping Max (FS Max) program fee work? ▼
Sellers who join the Free Shipping Max program enable platform-funded free shipping vouchers for shoppers, paying a promotional service fee (typically 3% to 5% with a per-item cap, such as RM 6 in Malaysia or ₱100 in the Philippines).
What are Lazada's customer return shipping fee policies? ▼
If a return is initiated due to seller fault (damaged item, wrong SKU, counterfeit allegation), the seller absorbs both forward and reverse logistics charges. For change-of-mind returns on LazMall, Lazada covers reverse shipping under platform guarantees.
How does local sales tax (VAT / GST / SST) apply to Lazada fees in Southeast Asia? ▼
Lazada applies statutory local taxes to its commission and payment fees: 9% GST in Singapore, 8% SST in Malaysia, 12% VAT in the Philippines, and 7% VAT in Thailand. Monthly tax invoices are downloadable from the Lazada Seller Center.
What are Lazada Seller Wallet withdrawal timelines and bank payout rules? ▼
Funds deposit into your Lazada Seller Wallet once order status transitions to 'Delivered' and the return window closes. Automated weekly bank transfers settle directly into your domestic commercial bank account.
How can Lazada merchants prevent negative margins during mega campaign sales (11.11, 12.12)? ▼
During mega campaigns, cumulative voucher stacking (store vouchers, Lazada platform vouchers, payment vouchers, and campaign commission surcharges) can erode margins. Sellers should pre-model net margins using deterministic gross-up tools to cap maximum discount exposure.
