Set your shipping rates

You can set shipping rates for your products in shipping templates. From Settings menu, click Shipping Settings, and then go to the Shipping Templates tab, you will see options to create or edit shipping templates there. For each shipping template, you can choose one of the following rate models as needed:

Item or weight-based shipping

If you choose this rate model, when a buyer purchases your products, Amazon applies the flat per-shipment rate and the appropriate per-weight or per-item shipping rate you set for the order.

Example of weight-based shipping rate:

You set a flat per-shipment rate of $4.00 and a per-pound rate of $0.50. A buyer purchases two products from you, a 25-pound television and a 1-pound DVD player. Amazon calculates the total shipping charge to the customer as follows:

$4.00 + $0.50 x (25 lb. + 1 lb.) = $17.00.

Example of item-based shipping rate:

You set a per-shipment flat rate of $4.00 and per-item rate of $1.00. A buyer orders two products from you. Amazon calculates the total shipping charge to the buyer as follows:

$4.00 + $1.00 x 2 items = $6.00.

Price-Banded shipping

Price-banded shipping rate model lets you create ranges or bands of order prices. Each price band has its own shipping rate. When a buyer purchases your products, Amazon reviews the total order value to determine which band it falls into, and then applies the shipping rate you specified for the price band.

Example of price-banded shipping rate:

You create price bands, such as:

A buyer places an order for a total of $75, which falls into the second price band. Amazon calculates the total shipping charge to the buyer to be $5.00, based on your price-banded rates.

Weight-tiered shipping

Weight-tiered shipping rate model is only available in freight shipping template which is currently offered on request-only basis. Qualified sellers can create tiers by order weight for freight shipping. Each weight tier has its own shipping rate. When a buyer orderes products from you, Amazon identifies which tier the total order weight falls into and then applies the flat per-shipment rate and the shipping rate for each weight tier that you have specified.

Example of weight-tiered shipping rate:

You create weight tiers, such as:

A buyer places an order with a total weight of 200lbs. Amazon calculates the total shipping charge to the buyer to be $80 based on your tiered rates:

$5 + (100 lbs. * $0.50) + (100 lbs.* $0.25) = $80
