I have a quick question, if someone from out of state makes a purchase through my website off of a party, can they have the products shipped to them for $4? Or do they pay the higher shipping cost?

Thank you :D
 
They will be charged the direct shipping charge based on the amount of the sale.

Thank you. That's what I thought but wasn't positive.
 
A good way to get them free shipping is to have them hold their own catalog/online show.
 
If you wanted too...and as long as it was through a show, you could eat the difference between the $4 and whatever the cost was. Write it off then at tax time.
