I've tried to find this out in previos threads, but did not find.
How do you determine what to charge for shipping an an order. I have bought from other sites and have done some research, but I can't tell how to set up my delivery charges. The going rates seem to be $5-$6 for US Postal, $7-$8 UPS Ground, $15-$18 UPS Second Day, $30-$40 overnight.
And on my order from a site I like, I was charged $5.99 for 2 shirts coming US Postal. Why not $5.99 per shirt? Would this company be eating the shipping costs if I ordered 4 shirts by standard mail?
And what about International rates? I'm not sure I want to sell overseas at this point until I get a grip on shipping costs in the States.
Appreciate your help...this part confuses me more than any other aspect of the start-up phase.
