It meets the legal requirements of a typical online shop, addressed to consumers. However, you should use the model only after careful revision and adaptation to your specific business model. In certain constellations clauses can be illegal. If in doubt, take legal advice.

Please note that shipping fees or at least calculation methods (e.g. by weight) should be stated for all countries to which you provide delivery.

If you only deliver to specific countries, you have to inform your customers about that. Furthermore you should select these countries in your WooCommerce settings as “allowed countries”. You should not use clauses such as “Shipping fees for other countries only on request”
