ShippingService

A Schema.org Type

This term is in the "new" area - implementation feedback and adoption from applications and websites can help improve our definitions.
ShippingService represents the criteria used to determine if and how an offer could be shipped to a customer.
PropertyExpected TypeDescription
Properties from ShippingService
fulfillmentType FulfillmentTypeEnumeration Type of fulfillment applicable to the ShippingService.
handlingTime QuantitativeValue  or
ServicePeriod
The typical delay between the receipt of the order and the goods either leaving the warehouse or being prepared for pickup, in case the delivery method is on site pickup.

In the context of ShippingDeliveryTime, Typical properties: minValue, maxValue, unitCode (d for DAY). This is by common convention assumed to mean business days (if a unitCode is used, coded as "d"), i.e. only counting days when the business normally operates.

In the context of ShippingService, use the ServicePeriod format, that contains the same information in a structured form, with cut-off time, business days and duration.
shippingConditions ShippingConditions The conditions (constraints, price) applicable to the ShippingService.
validForMemberTier MemberProgramTier The membership program tier an Offer (or a PriceSpecification, OfferShippingDetails, or MerchantReturnPolicy under an Offer) is valid for.
Properties from Thing
additionalType Text  or
URL
An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide.
alternateName Text An alias for the item.
description Text  or
TextObject
A description of the item.
disambiguatingDescription Text A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
identifier PropertyValue  or
Text  or
