How to set fair shipping and pickup options?

Balancing cost and convenience for buyers

Offer local pickup as a free option to reduce costs and environmental impact. For delivery, set clear zones with flat fees or calculate carrier rates. Consider including shipping in the price for small orders if it simplifies decisions.

Shipping and pickup considerations:

  • Offer free local pickup with clear instructions and hours.
  • Set delivery zones and fees that reflect time and distance.
  • Use standard carrier rates for out-of-area shipping.
  • Provide tracking and estimated delivery windows.

Transparent fees and realistic timing build buyer trust and reduce disputes.
