This reason. I bought stuff during sales. Already asked 3 sellers all replied same thing they can't turn off or make changes on courier options during that time. One of them only has Poslaju and J&T enabled but system always picked J&T. It's never about probability or scoring favourite courier with 50% chance. At least it's not in my case.
Ya I believe those Shopee sellers chose to activate as many courier providers as they can, so that they can reach out to most areas in Malaysia, since not all couriers cover every single postcode in Malaysia.
Was chatting with one of the seller bout this, and they mention it is not sustainable for them to purposely turn on and off all their other courier providers every time there is an order, just to fulfill what a single customer wants their couriers to be. N if they were to do that, if they switch off the rest and only turn on J&T for 1 customer, then if by chance at the same time there is another customer wants to buy something but his / her area not covered by J&T, then they are unable to purchase it and the seller will lose sales transactions.
Clearly this is not Shopee sellers' fault, and we shouldn't force or blame them for not accepting your request to switch off other couriers just so we can get the courier of our choice. It is Shopee's fault for changing their system, so that they can slowly direct more business to their own courier Shopee Express, the same strategy that Lazada is using.
