Shipping and handling of physical goods can present predictable, logistical problems to your online retail business. Certainly, if you are selling on eBay, then eBay shipping and handling is very important, but there is no need to worry as most problems are handled without difficulty. The key to this is understanding the basics. If your ecommerce business sells physical goods, you will frequently need to send your products all over the country - in some cases, all over the world. If you sell a variety of goods with many different quantity options, shipping, packing and handling becomes more complicated. When you do this yourself, you might pack the item yourself, or you might pay someone to do it. However you handle it, shipping and handling is an important aspect of your business, and the safety of the items you post rests partly on your shoulders, as badly packed items will often get damaged in transit.
Many online start-ups don't take this next point seriously enough--your shipping and handling charges are a determining factor in how competitive you will be in a niche market. This is even more true if your margin for profit is extremely narrow. Many established companies are well known for their professional shipping and handling - customers trust them for secure and prompt delivery. Before you can successfully follow this example, you need to come up with a fair and practical pricing structure. After all, this is an additional cost your customers pay for. One rule of thumb is that the costs of shipping in bulk are often cheaper than for a single item and you should consider giving your customers discounts for volume.
Calculation of the cost for shipping and handling is not generally problematic if you know the fundamentals. The basic rule of thumb is calculate costs for shipping and handling separately. The handling charge is based on the cost of packing supplies, labor involved in packing the products and getting supplies, storage and incidental transportation costs. Another general rule of thumb to help with figuring handling charges is calculate an average cost for packing supplies and then look for the cheapest source of those supplies. The idea is to undercut your average cost in order to gain a margin for error and possible profit. Shipping generally includes postage and freight charges, though can include charges for other services needed to get your products to destination. The U.S. Postal Service and the other major shipping firms have shipping calculators for use on their sites, and you can also interface these calculators with your own site, though you may need a little help with programming. If Sherpas have to carry the items into the Himalayas, then you would factor that in to the shipping cost. One other point to remember is that you can often negotiate lower prices with the U.S. Post office and private shipping companies if your volume of business is great enough.
A trick to keep in mind when figuring the costs of international shipping (not handling) is to avoid calculating the cost to each possible individual country. There are several ways to approach this. First, you could simply figure one charge for international orders. A second way would be to figure prices based on continent. A third approach would be to break down the cost by regions or zones. When shipping very small items such as DVDs, set one price for national deliveries and another for international orders. For international shipping, make the most expensive shipping charge the base charge for all orders out of the country.
When your customer purchases a product, they will be charged the price for the product, and the shipping and handling charges for the delivery destination will be added at the checkout. A total is calculated and then billed at checkout. You may want to consider offering customers a delivery priority for their shipment. For example, Option 1 would be Standard shipping, which is the cheapest, and allows delivery within 3 to 5 days. Option 2, Express Delivery, would allow 2-day shipping and is the next price tier up from Standard. Option 3 is Guaranteed Next-Day shipping and is the most expensive.
One final word on bulk orders: First, as mentioned earlier, give discounts for large, bulk orders. Second, if you plan on shipping expensive items or really large, costly bulk orders, then expect to have customers ask you about insurance. If you are dealing with the expensive, high end, then count on having shipping insurance (or at least making it available) and advertising that fact. You do not want to find yourself in the position of having to account for a damaged or missing $30,000 piece of exercise equipment. Your shipping and handling policy and return policy should all be clearly delineated on your site, but be sure to include this information with each shipment. If you are shipping bulk orders overseas, then we suggest using an experienced international shipping agent to be sure that all documentation is in order and who can track your order to its destination. Take the time to find a reputable agent as this will save you heartache and expense later on.

The Price of Salt the Price of Salt $13.88 "I have long had a theory that Nabokov knew "The Price of Salt" and modeled the climactic cross-country car chase in "Lolita" on Therese and Carol's frenzied bid for freedom," writes Terry Castle in "The New Republic" about this novel, arguably Patricia Highsmith's finest, first published in 1952 under the pseudonym Clare Morgan. Soon to be a new film, "The Price of Salt" tells the riveting story of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose salvation arrives one day in the form of Carol Aird, an alluring suburban housewife in the throes of a divorce. They fall in love and set out across the United States, pursued by a private investigator who eventually blackmails Carol into a choice between her daughter and her lover. With this reissue, "The Price of Salt" may finally be recognized as a major twentieth-century American novel. |

Price Dispersion $86.03 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In economics, price dispersion is variation in prices across sellers of the same item, holding fixed the items characteristics. Price dispersion can be viewed as a measure of trading frictions (or, tautologically, as a violation of the law of one price). It is often attributed to consumer search costs or unmeasured attributes (such as the reputation) of the retailing outlets involved. There is a difference between price dispersion and price discrimination. The latter concept involves a single provider charging different prices to different customers for an identical good. Price dispersion, on the other hand, is best thought of as the outcome of many firms potentially charging different prices, where customers of one firm find it difficult to patronize (or are perhaps unaware of) other firms due to the existence of search costs. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 108 Publication Date: 2010/10/07 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.26 inches |

Price River $74.88 The Price River is a river in the state of Utah, in the United States. The river originates in the Wasatch Plateau in Central Utah and flows southeastward through Price Canyon, alongside U.S. Route 6, to the cities of Helper, then Price. The river flows along the northeastern edge of the San Rafael Swell to the ghost town of Woodside, where it proceeds to the east, joining the Green River in Gray Canyon after flowing a distance of 210 km. Range Creek is one of its tributaries. It is generally believed that the Price River was named after LDS Bishop William Price of Goshen, Utah, who explored the region in 1869. The town of Price was later named after the river. The Scofield Reservoir was formed by the construction of the Scofield Dam in 1946. There are plans to build a second dam on the river, upstream from the Scofield Dam, called the Gooseberry Narrows Dam. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Price Theory $42.69 Economics is sometimes divided into two parts: positive economics and normative economics. The former deals with how the economic problem is solved, while the latter deals with how the economic problem should be solved. The effects of price or rent control on the distribution of income are problems of positive economics. The desirability of these effects on income distribution is a problem of normative economics. Within economics, the major division is between monetary theory and price theory. Monetary theory deals with the level of prices in general, with cyclical and other fluctuations in total output, total employment, and the like. Price theory deals with the allocation of resources among different uses, the price of one item relative to another. Prices do three kinds of things. They transmit information, they provide an incentive to users of resources to be guided by this information, and they provide an incentive to owners of resources to follow this information. Milton Friedman's classic book provides the theoretical underpinning for and understanding of prices. Economics is not concerned solely with economic problems. It is a social science, and is therefore concerned primarily with those economic problems whose solutions involve the cooperation and interaction of different individuals. It is concerned with problems involving a single individual only insofar as the individual's behavior has implications for or effects upon other individuals. "Price Theory" is concerned not with economic problems in the abstract, but with how a particular society solves its economic problems. |

Price of the Ticket $30.92 The works of James Baldwin constitute one of the major contributions to American literature in the twentieth century, and nowhere is this more evident than in "The Price of the Ticket," a compendium of nearly fifty years of Baldwin's powerful nonfiction writing. With truth and insight, these personal, prophetic works speak to the heart of the experience of race and identity in the United States. Here are the full texts of "Notes of a Native Son, Nobody Knows My Name, The Fire Next Time, No Name in the Street, "and "The Devil Finds Work, "along with dozens of other pieces, ranging from a 1948 review of "Raintree Country "to a magnificent introduction to this book that, as so many of Mr. Baldwin's works do, combines his intensely private experience with the deepest examination of social interaction between the races. In a way, "The Price of the Ticket "is an intellectual history of the twentieth-century American experience; in another, it is autobiography of the highest order. |

The Price of Prosperity $19.95 One of the foremost financial writers of his generation, Peter Bernstein has the unique ability to synthesize intellectual history and economics with the theory and practice of investment management. Now, with classic titles such as Economist on Wall Street, A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold, and The Price of Prosperity ?which have forewords by financial luminaries and new introductions by the author?you can enjoy some of the best of Bernstein in his earlier Wall Street days.

The Price of Government $19.95 Government is broke. The 2004 federal deficit is the highest in U.S. history. The states have suffered three years of record shortfalls. Cities, counties, and school districts are laying off policemen and teachers, closing schools, and cutting services. But the fiscal pain won’t go away, and the bankrupt ideologies of left and right offer little guidance. The Price of Government presents a radically different approach to budgeting—one that focuses on buying results for citizens rather than cutting or adding to last year’s spending programs. It advocates consolidation, competition, customer choice, and a relentless focus on results to save millions while improving public services. |

The Price of Heaven - $5.99 Filmed on location in South Carolina, The Price of Heaven represents one of the forays into the realm of made-for-TV movies by celebrated director Peter Bogdanovich. The story takes place in the early 1950s, as Korean war hero Jerry Shand (Grant Show) returns to his Southern hometown. Aspiring to medical school, Jerry lands a low-paying but steady job selling funeral insurance to the local black community. When ordered to collect back premium payments from the elderly and impoverished Vesta Battle (Cicely Tyson in a virtual reprise of her "Miss Jane Pittman" characterization), Jerry is prevented from doing so by his newly awakened compassion and social consciousness--thereby placing his job, and his entire future as a "good Southerner", in jeopardy. On a more personal level, Jerry is torn between love for his childhood sweetheart, whose family runs a local laundry, and lust for the predatory daughter of a wealthy cotton-mill owner (shades of Bette Davis!) Based on a novella by Allan Gurganus and first telecast over the CBS network on August 17, 1997, The Price of Heaven has since been shown on cable TV under the title Blessed Assurance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |

Price of Exit $7.99 "The risk of a fatal catastrophe was constant. The NVA was the enemy, but the ultimate opponent was, quite simply, death. . . ." For assault helicopter crews flying in and around the NVA-infested DMZ, the U.S. pullout from Vietnam in 1970-71 was a desperate time of selfless courage. Now former army warrant officer Tom Marshall of the Phoenix, C Company, 158th Aviation Battalion, 101st Airborne, captures the deadly mountain terrain, the long hours flown under enormous stress, the grim determination of hardened pilots combat-assaulting through walls of antiaircraft fire, the pickups amid exploding mortar shells and hails of AK fire, the nerve-racking string extractions of SOG teams from North Vietnam. . . . And, through it all, the rising tension as helicopter pilots and crews are lost at an accelerating pace. It is no coincidence that the Phoenix was one of the most highly decorated assault helicopter units in I Corps. For as the American departure accelerated and the enemy added new, more powerful antiaircraft weapons, the helicopter pilots, crew chiefs, and gunners paid the heavy price of withdrawal in blood. For more than 30 Percent of Tom Marshall's 130 helicopter-school classmates, the price of exit was their lives. . . . From the Paperback edition. |

As she sets out to uncover the history of a town that has cloaked itself in secrecy for far too long, evidence of manipulation and cold-blooded murder begin to unravel.
