Does anyone have suggestions as to reducing my shipping costs across the board?
Hi, @JRsBlackhat
Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to share some additional resources.
I understand how important it is to reduce shipping costs, all while maintaining a great experience for your customer. My first step would be to determine your shipping strategy. There are several common methods used by our merchants which include offering free shipping, charging exact costs, or providing flat-rate shipping. I suggest checking out this help document to learn more about finding the best shipping options for your business.
From there, you can check out our guide on How to Reduce Shipping Costs for Small Businesses that covers everything you need to know in terms of incurring the least amount of shipping costs. This guide will cover various aspects like packaging, labor for sending an item, courier costs for collecting and delivering item, and Import/export fees when shipping internationally. It will also go over ways to fully optimize your shipping workflow.
I’d also love to know more about your business. What is your current shipping strategy? Have you thought about offering free shipping while including the cost of shipping in the price of the products?
