Price Shipping Without Losing Money

Copy

I offer free shipping and I think it is eating my profit. Build me a shipping cost calculator. Keep carrier rate bands as editable records with weight range, size range, destination zone and cost. For an order, take the item weights and dimensions, work out both actual and volumetric weight, pick the right band, and add packaging cost and a handling time cost that I set. Show the true delivery cost, the shipping charged, and whether that order made or lost money on delivery. Add a threshold tool that tells me what order value I would need to set for free shipping to still leave me a target margin, given my average order. Add an AI agent that reviews recent orders and tells me which destinations, sizes or products consistently lose money on delivery. Automate a scheduled monthly report of delivery margin by zone and an alert when a carrier rate change makes my threshold wrong. Two logins: an owner who sets thresholds, and a warehouse user who can look up a cost.

Price Shipping Without Losing Money

Price delivery by weight, size, and destination with packaging, handling, and a free-shipping threshold that keeps margin.

// the spark catches · intelligence awakens · the answer unfolds

Shipping is where online margin quietly disappears. This prices it by the things that actually drive it, including packaging and the returns nobody budgets for.

What's Included

  • Weight, dimensions, and destination priced against real carrier bands.
  • Packaging and handling counted as cost, because they are.
  • A free-shipping threshold that still leaves you a margin.
  • An assistant that finds the orders you lost money delivering.

How To Use

  1. Use volumetric weight as well as actual weight. Carriers do.
  2. Include packaging and the labor to pack. It is rarely trivial.
  3. Set the free-shipping threshold from margin, not from a round number.
  4. Track your return rate by destination and price it in.

Run the storefront with ecommerce prompts, and the stockroom with retail prompts.
