Greetings,

I am going to be shipping t-shirts... when I get the orders.
Ha ha.

What should I charge for shipping across Canada, to US and International.

The item is $15.
Shipped from west coast Canada

Right now, I've got it configured as such:

1 to 3 T-shirts will be $15 for shipping
4 to 5 will be $16
6 to 8 will be $18
9 to 10 will be $20
11 or more will be free shipping

Thanks for your suggestions.

    This looks like you made up your prices from your expenses. Think about perceived value from a customers perspective. What about something in the lines of 19$ for the Shirt, 4.95 for shipping and free shipping from 100$ ?

      Thanks for your response.
      I will check out the link you provided.

      One question.

      Are you suggesting, $4.95 shipping per t-shirt or something else?

      Thanks.

    I had flat rate shipping in mind. This is what works here in Germany. I don't know your market but I think the less confusing you make it for the buyer, the better you will convert. Spy on your competition...

      Shipping costs a lot in Canada...

      so my shipping will start at 9.95 ...increase incrementally until free shipping at 11 or more t-shirts.

      thanks.
