How to calculate true per-unit shipping cost?
Add courier fees + packaging materials + labor time value. Divide by units shipped. Most sellers underestimate by $1-$3/order by forgetting tape, bubble wrap, and time costs.
Should I offer free shipping on my store?
Free shipping with the cost built into the price outperforms separate shipping charges by 20-30% in conversion rates. Calculate your average shipping cost and add it to product price.
How to reduce shipping costs for small businesses?
Use Pirateship or EasyPost for USPS discounts (up to 89% off retail). Negotiate directly with UPS/FedEx at 500+ monthly shipments. Use flat-rate boxes where weight permits.
