Does amazon provide a discount so i can ship handmade signs affordably?
Hey Community,
I could use some help! I recently started making custom handmade signs and would love to be able to sell them on amazon! When i started digging into what it would cost me to ship a sign ( its a circle that is 12in in diameter ) the cost for me would be crazy for shipping.
- Does Amazon provide discounted shipper rates? If so where can i go to estimate how much my signs would cost to ship with the Amazon Discount?
- If Amazon does provide discounted shipping rates does this only apply to FBA where i send it directly to the amazon warehouse OR does this also apply to me sending it directly to the customers address?
- How are other handmade artisans selling custom signs affordable? Is there another service outside of amazon i should use?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Really depends on how much your packaged item weighs. For a rough guess, you could use the bays shipping calculator. Amazon shares a decent discount on UPS shipping.
Unless you use a flat rate product, distance matters. You want to pick a location as far away as you can to get the worst case scenario.

Yes, it is a easy tool to find and gives rates comparable to those you will see when you use Amazon’s Buy Shipping to ship the items you sold on Amazon.
Amazon does not have a tool like that.
FBA is Fulfilled By Amazon. FBM is Fulfilled By Merchant.
