No. They either absorb the costs, or it is figured into the price and not quoted separately.

build it into your tshirt cost, but make sure that you specify if the free shipping extends to US customers only, etc.

It is always built into the price. Also remember it is also a business expense.

Default Re: How are companies able to ship for free?

you are all wrong. here is the scoop.

if some company is offering shipping for free they have something very important in the shipping biz. it is..........volume.

Here is the deal. There are 3 or 4 ways to ship. FedEx, UPS, USPS, Common Carrier. Both FedEx and UPS will match prices or ship for a reduced cost to get exclusive business. Yes, your vendor ships for free because they are offered such a deal on shipping that they can do it.

You can do the same if you have a daily shipping volume, just call your local FedEx or UPS account rep to get it. Don't have one? Call to find out how you get one.
