Sorted by severity- High!
Your store has no written lost-package guarantee — buyers and support staff are both guessing.
Without a stated policy, every lost-package claim becomes a case-by-case judgement call. That slows resolution, inflates WISMO volume, and can erode buyer trust.

Catalog spans 20.0× from $14.99 to $299.99 with only 0% of products weighed.
When a catalog mixes cheap accessories with heavy flagship items and most products have no weight, carriers default to dim-weight pricing on the heavy end. The combined effect magnifies dim-weight overcharges beyond the baseline rate.
Recommended fixAdd weight to every product variant in Shopify (Products → variant → Shipping → Weight). When weights are missing, carriers default to dimensional pricing on the heavy items, inflating cost 15–40% on flagship SKUs. Bulk weight upload via CSV takes ~1 hour for a typical 50-SKU catalog.

Your shipping policy doesn't state how long delivery takes. Buyers ask support instead.
Even a generic '5–10 business days' beats silence.
Recommended fixAdd a delivery promise to every PDP: "Order today, ships in 1 business day, arrives in 3–5 days." Pull the data from your TMS or carrier zone chart. Conversion lifts 5–12% on stores adding this.
See exact steps for your store → - Low!
No tracking app or branded tracking URL detected. Buyers jump to the carrier site after purchase.
Branded order-tracking lifts repeat-visit engagement and opens a low-friction upsell slot. AfterShip, Shop, Route, and Parcel Perform all take 10–15 minutes to install on Shopify.
Recommended fixInstall AfterShip, Shop, Route, or Parcel Perform on Shopify — all take 10–15 minutes. Customize the tracking page with your logo, a featured-product strip, and a referral CTA. Drives repeat-visit engagement.

Why these issues matter
- Unknown carrier = savings estimate stays conservative
- No lost-package guarantee = more support friction
- Duplicate policy URLs = SEO or trust dilution
