Shipping cost

Shipping cost refers to the expense associated with the transportation of goods from one place to another.

Shipping costs are typically passed on to the customer, either as a flat rate or as a calculated cost based on the weight, dimensions, and distance of the shipment. Some carriers offer different shipping options at different rates, such as standard shipping, expedited shipping, and overnight shipping.

Some sellers or e-commerce platforms offer free shipping over certain order value or for certain products and also offer a flat rate for shipping to make it easier for customers to understand the costs associated with their purchase.

When an item is sold with “Free Shipping,” the cost of shipping is usually built into the price of the item rather than being charged separately.
