Shipping policy

Shopify's standard domestic shipping policy includes weight-based rates, such as: 
  • 0–0.99 lb: $4.99
  • 1–4.99 lb: $9.99
  • 5–9.99 lb: $19.99
Shopify also offers USPS shipping, which can provide discounts of up to 88%. USPS offers domestic and international mail classes, and can provide tracking information and insurance for packages up to 70 lbs.

Here are some other things to consider when creating a shipping policy for Shopify:
Dimensional weight
Some shipping services use dimensional weight, which is calculated based on the height, width, and depth of the package. If the dimensional weight is greater than the package's weight, the customer will be charged for the dimensional weight.
Shipping policy content
A shipping policy should include information about shipping costs, order processing times, delivery options, returns, and potential service interruptions.
Policy updates
It's common to update a shipping policy every few months, especially when new shipping carriers are added or there are anticipated delays.
Shipping zones
Shipping zones can be created for Shopify shipping services.
Flat rate shipping
Flat rate shipping can be a good option if the product line is fairly standard and the items are similar in size and weight.
