We have customers that come in to the store and just want us to ship their package. 

What is a fair  (fee) price or percentage to add on to the shipping cost ? 

We are not a UPS Store , but want to advertise packages ship here through ship station.

Can you lead me to any articles or information that discuss this? Thank you

Hello, @Bennetts!

 

We hear you! When a customer comes into your store, and you need to charge them for shipping, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Package weight and size โ€“ These play a significant role in shipping costs.
  • Delivery speed โ€“ Faster options may cost more.
  • Handling fees โ€“ Are there any extra costs you need to cover?

A good approach is to use a cost model that factors in these details and any overhead costs so your pricing stays fair and sustainable. I have attached our help center article on Comparing Rates.

 

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.

 

Happy Shipping!
