How do I set up shipping costs?

The four elements required to calculate shipping costs are shipping point and origin, package weight, package dimensions and expected delivery times. You can calculate the majority of postal shipping rates using these figures. With this information, you can compare shipping rates using a shipping cost calculator.

How do I add shipping costs to my product?

To calculate the shipping costs, add the cost of the product, shipping, customs, risk (insurance) and overheads. This sum is the total shipping cost. Shipping cost = product + shipping + customs + insurance + overheads.

How is inventory shipping cost calculated?

Divide the shipping cost by the average inventory figure. Continuing the same example, $30,000 / $1,200,000 = 0.025 x 100 = 2.5 percent. This figure represents the shipping costs as a percentage of inventory.

If you always use the same shipping price for a given product regardless destination and date you can use the "weight" attribute as the actual shipping price with table rates.

  • Create a new attribute to display the actual weight of the item on the website
  • Change the "weight" attribute setting not to display it on the frontend.
  • Re-import product details with the new weight attribute and the magento "weight" attribute with the shipping price in it.
  • Create a table for table rates and simply put values in the "Weight (and above)" and "Shipping Price" columns as 0,0; 1,1; 2,2 so on.
  • Import the CSV file with the shipping rates

Please note this will add up shipping prices: for example if you order two product and the shipping price is 4 for product A and it is 5 for product B the final shiping will be 9.
