## TL;DR

Carrier rate names like Ground Advantage or Economy International confuse shoppers. Learn how to rename and reorder Shopify shipping methods so the right option is clear and chosen first.

## Key points

- Customers understand the trade-off. "Standard (3-5 business days)" is easier to evaluate than a carrier service code.
- You set expectations. A name that includes a delivery window reduces "where is my order?" tickets later.
- You steer choices. The first option in a list gets a lot of attention. If your preferred option is buried third, fewer people choose it.
- Speed plus window, for example "Standard shipping (3-5 business days)"
- Benefit plus window, for example "Free tracked shipping (4-7 business days)"
- Clear local options, for example "Local delivery, same day in Hanoi"
