I’m new to Shopify. But I’m trying to figure out how to model my own inventory. So I figured that I would have to order samples. But the shipping is more then the product. Is there anyway around paying a high shipping cost. Item is $5 but shipping is $30 from china. Help please.
Hi @Chacha31
Accurate rates do not come because of the following issues :
- Nature of products is such that only weight cannot be used (primarily because their volumetric weight is higher than normal weight).
- Multiple packages are not accounted for during the calculation of rates
- Dimensions are not accounted for during the calculation of rates
- Incorrect Shipping setup
Ensure that you have taken care of all these and you will get the accurate shipping costs.
