What Affects Shipping Rates? 

Easyhip is here to take care of shipping rates, but a few factors directly impact your shipment cost. Knowing them is hacking your way to even cheaper shipping costs!

1. Package weight and dimensions

Your package weight and dimension have the most impact on your shipping rates. The heavier the shipment, the more likely the cost of transporting it from one location to another. Sometimes, you cannot help if your package is 5lbs. However, if you package it correctly using weightless packaging material, you can bring it down to 4.5 lbs, thus saving you precious dollars on your shipment.

2. Shipping zones

Since we spoke about locations, it is important to note that your rates are highly influenced by the distance your package is going to travel across the US or even the globe. In the United States, locations are classified based on their zones (there are eight zones) based on the miles they encompass. The higher the zone, the greater the shipping cost. 

3. Delivery time

Overnight shipping is bound to be more expensive than the shipping duration on 5-6 days. If your package does not require immediate delivery, you can go for a slightly longer timeline to save the expense. Couriers like USPS overnight and FedEx overnight are highly preferred for their one-day delivery, while USPS Ground Advantage gives you a slightly longer but reliable delivery option. Easyship’s rate calculator gives you an overview of the total delivery time to help you make the choice that works for you.

4. Insurance

We recommend that you insure your packages against damage and theft. However, many businesses often forgo insurance because of the additional cost. This brings us to insurance as a crucial element affecting your shipping rates. You can choose to pay the insurance and add it to your expense or the total cost your customer might have to pay. If you go for the latter, we suggest you offer transparency and ensure they’re aware of the extra charges to ensure trust and no cart abandonment.
