Adjusting Shipping Costs for My Business in Boston: Any Ideas?

[AMTC]

I've just moved my business from Florida to Boston where Kitchen stores are closeby to almost everyone. I have a lot of people who have placed orders and said they would order again, but they are having a hard time with the $4 shipping fee when they attend shows, or more if they place an individual order. I understand the shipping fees on Individual orders, but does anyone know if PC has ever considered adjusting the cost of the product line so the shipping fee is embedded in the item costs?

I'm considering offering free shipping for orders of a certain amount - does anyone do this and at what price point?

Thanks!

Yes, many kitchen stores do offer free shipping on orders of a certain amount. The exact price point can vary from store to store. It's also worth considering offering loyalty programs or discounts for frequent customers - this could help reduce the cost of shipping for your customers and encourage them to keep coming back.

That's a great idea! I think offering free shipping for orders over a certain amount would definitely entice more customers to place larger orders. I've seen other businesses do this and it seems to be a successful strategy. As for embedding the cost of shipping into the product prices, I'm not sure if PC has ever considered it, but it's definitely worth looking into. It might be a good idea to reach out to their customer service or sales team to see if they have any options for adjusting the pricing. Good luck with your business in Boston!
