TikTok Shop just tightened the screws on shipping—and a lot of brands are panicking. In this video (recorded January 22, 2026), I break down what TikTok’s “Logistics Services” push actually means, what it doesn’t mean, and why this is good news for real operators.The headline: TikTok is moving toward being the source of truth for labels + tracking (Amazon-style standards), which helps purge bad actors and clears the field for serious brands. TikTok has already been rolling out shipping policy upgrades (including requiring certain labels—like USPS—to be generated via TikTok Shipping). I’m Jordan West—former BC Ambulance paramedic turned entrepreneur. I’ve built 8 brands, 2 agencies, a software company, and a restaurant. Today, I help brands win on TikTok Shop and social commerce with systems that scale.In this episode, you’ll learn:✅ What “TikTok Shop Logistics Services” really is (the data layer, not “fire your 3PL”)✅ The timeline brands should pay attention to (and how to plan for it)✅ 3 paths forward: label switch, middleware integration, and hybrid FBT✅ Why this change raises the barrier to entry—and helps serious brands win✅ A simple checklist to stay compliant and keep shipping on timeIf you’re a serious operator, this is noise—not a threat.
