xverion Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm still trying to figure this out myself. For those of you who have websites, and don't have the UPS or USPS calculators hooked up to your site, how do you charge your shipping? Do you set up a fixed amount, charge by weight, or by zone? I am so confused about how to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrealh1975 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I do my shipping based on weight. Some charge a flat fee based on cost. It's whatever is easiest for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Makin Momma Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I do actual shipping right now because I am small potatoes. LOL But in the future I will be switching to a flat rate system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I do the flat-rate shipping boxes for $8.10. Saves most of my customers boatloads of money. My candles ship at about a pound apiece, and five or six of those bad boys (a typical order for me) can add up. Some of my customers would pay $14 on shipping if it weren't for the flat-rate boxes.

KristinesShower Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm hooked up directly to the USPS and UPS sites for rates, but I also offer the flat rate option (which I couldn't get because it was newer than my site) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
