Hey @Samwe ,

Great question!

To calculate the cost of shipping for larger products on your website, consider the following steps:

  1. Determine the size and weight of the product.
  2. Check shipping rates from various carriers for the package size and weight.
  3. Determine the average shipping cost.
  4. Add the average shipping cost to the product cost to get the final price.
  5. Keep in mind that shipping rates can vary based on destination and shipping carrier, so you may want to consider offering a range of shipping options at different price points.

As you’re currently looking to maximize your shipping strategies, I also recommend going through our Shopify Blog here for some helpful tips on how you can reduce shipping costs.
