How do I calculate shipping costs?

Estimate shipping costs by entering the origin country, destination country, package weight, package dimensions, and shipping method. Then add that shipping cost to your product cost before setting your selling price.

What shipping method should I use?

The best shipping method depends on several factors: ePacket is best for small, light items under 2kg with moderate delivery times, DHL/FedEx Express is ideal for time-sensitive or high-value items, Standard Post is most economical for non-urgent deliveries, and Special Line offers a good balance of cost and delivery time for specific routes. Consider your product type, customer expectations, and profit margins when choosing.

Should I offer free shipping?

Free shipping can improve conversion, but it is only safe when the shipping cost is already built into your selling price. Check your margin first, then decide whether to show shipping separately or fold it into the product price.

How do I handle international shipping?

For international dropshipping, compare delivery time, tracking, customs risk, and total landed cost. Longer delivery windows can hurt conversion and increase refund risk, even when the shipping price looks attractive.

What about shipping insurance?

Use shipping insurance or tracked shipping for higher-value products, fragile products, or orders where a lost package would erase your margin. For cheap products, the extra insurance cost may not be worth it.
