Shipping costs are calculated based on multiple factors including package weight, dimensions, distance, carrier, and service level. Understanding these factors helps you optimize costs and improve profit margins.
DIM Weight = (Length x Width x Height) / DivisorCarriers charge based on whichever is greater: actual weight or dimensional weight. This prevents large, lightweight packages from taking up valuable space at low rates. USPS uses a divisor of 166, while FedEx, UPS, and DHL use 139.
Offering free shipping can significantly increase conversion rates and average order value. The key is setting the right threshold - typically 20-30% above your average order value. This encourages customers to add more items while maintaining profitability.
