Hello BO!

bricks r kids

Just wanted to say hello and see if anyone can help me get started.

I have a store and set up payment methods. I figured out how to upload inventory.

I can't figure out the shipping. How do you set up the shipping? What's a band, price, etc?

I'll upload some inventory as soon as I can figure out how to sell here.

Thanks,

Bill

Welcome Bill,

One thing you can do is look at the "delivery" page on different stores. It should give you a good idea what others are doing and how it is set up in general.

There some threads with some good info in them too.

Shipping bands are basically thresholds for shipping costs. It's based on the weight of the order, so you'll want to add an ounce to account for a padded envelope, or more for larger orders/parts that require boxes.

Welcome Bill!

Set it up just like your chart on BL. Except don't forget to subtract the amount of your packaging. I've found that I generally use a small 0.3oz bubble mailer on smaller orders and a larger 0.6oz mailer on larger orders. So I set my bands to 0-2.65, 2.66-3.65, ... 5.66-6.35, 6.36-7.35, etc.

I did the same for international and then based Priority off the furthest distance with a promise to refund any overages.

Don't forget to change your units to Imperial in your settings.

@DagsBricks What country did you use to set up international shipping? There's so many variables, I didn't know if I wanted to mess with it, just use quotes. But I'm sure my international buyers might appreciate a quicker checkout.

There's really only 3 international rates for FCIM. One for Canada/Mexico and the other 2 don't vary by more than a dollar if that. I used the most expensive band. I should add a band for Canada/Mexico though.

Done.
