So we now know we want to implement a basic shipping rate of two dollars and 95 cents.

2

So how do we actually go about doing that when this lecture I'm going to show you and shipping rates

3

is something that people often get confused about so I have developed and I've been using a very simple

4

yet powerful system for a long long time now that not only is it simple to understand for me but it's

5

also simple to understand.

6

For my customers of course you're not obliged to do exactly this but I strongly recommend you give it

7

some serious consideration.

8

So we want to do is come down to our settings and go straight to shipping.

9

So first of all this shipping origin is not significant.

10

We are drop shipping if we were selling our own products from our own warehouse then yes we would need

11

to consider this.

12

But that's not what we're doing.

13

So we can basically ignore this and we can scroll down to this part here.

14

Shipping rates at the checkout now are set up to very basic shipping zones.

15

OK I've got domestic United States and the rest of the world.

16

Now most of my business and probably most of your Certainly in the beginning will come from the U.S..

17

So I'm keeping this very very simple with United States and rest of world.

18

You can very easily add in another shipping zone here for example so if you are in the U.K. You could

19

add in the United Kingdom or you're Australia could add in Australia and you could end up with several

20

shipping zones listed.

21

But just for the sake of this cause I want to keep it simple and I want to focus on United States because

22

you'll see once I've shown you how this works you can very very easily apply to any shipping zone.

23

So the next thing I want to do is click on edit next to United States and you get to change the name

24

of the zone if you want to I'm going to leave it as domestic for the moment.

25

The countries that are listed within it so I could add other ones if I wanted to.

26

But this is the United States I'm leaving it purely as the U.S. but I might want to call it North America

27

an ad in Canada very very straightforward.

28

The first thing I want to say is that these all weight based rates are not important.

29

Again we drop shipping so the weight is going to be an issue more for the supplier over there on the

30

Express in China or wherever they're actually shipping from we are not shipping out our own warehouse.

31

You'll also remember the golden rules I talked about shipping lightweight products because that gives

32

you another advantage.

33

If for example you did have very very heavy products your supplier over there on an express might want

34

to charge you potential customer.

35

An awful lot to ship them.

36

But when you keep those products lightweight this completely goes away you don't have this issue at

37

all.

38

So what we are talking about are priced based rates.

39

Soybeans do is click on ad rate.

40

Give it a name.

41

So let's just call it a standard one and then I'm going to create a range between 0 and 20.

42

OK.

43

You remember from the rules that basically you are selling products at 20 years or $20 dollars and less.

44

Now this is where I give it a right.

45

So this is where my two ninety five comes into play.

46

And I just click done.

47

All right so that's my standard one.

48

So anybody who buys something of my site now between 0 and 20 euros is going to be paying to 95 in shipping.

49

But what if they buy more than 20 years of products which is entirely possible.

50

How do we implement shipping for that.

51

So we're going to add in another rate this one more call simply standard too.

52

Now my minimum order is 20.

53

And I will have no limit for my maximum.

54

Now for the rate I'm going to charge a little bit more than that 295 in fact I'm going to put it at

55

395 and I'm going to click on done.

56

So just reiterate somebody buy something between 0 and 20 they're going to pay 295 and 20 over they're

57

going to pay 395.

58

So if you think ahead you might be thinking What is the problem with that because if someone orders

59

two hundred euros of my site they'll still only be paying three 95 but you will remember that we've

60

got a huge margin with the way that I'm teaching you to make money with this business model.

61

We're buying it for less and we're selling for 20 so we got a very big margin to play with and that

62

is extremely important.

63

So just imagine in this example somebody did buy two hundred dollars worth of product and I apologize.

64

I know I'm flipping between euros and dollars but that doesn't really matter the denominations are relevant

65

is the actual number.

66

I want you to focus on.

67

So let's imagine they did buy two hundred dollars worth of products and my supplier over there Ali expressed

68

wanted to charge me let's say $40 for the shipping.

69

Well that's fine if you do the math.

70

I've still got a huge margin to play with.

71

And what it means also is I can very easily explain to my customers how my shipping works.

72

You know all I get and you will get inquiries about if I buy 10 of these products how much is the shipping

73

going to be.

74

Well in my case it's very straightforward.

75

It's 395.

76

If it's less than 20 it's 295 it is more than that.

77

It's 395.

78

And trust me customers like simplicity again doing web site reviews and helping people out.

79

They often see people overcomplicating this.

80

They have 20 things listed in this price base right.

81

Very very difficult to explain that to the customer and also for you to remember exactly how it all

82

works.

83

So after years of experience of doing this this is basically the model I've come to is a very very simplified

84

model and it really does work and basically just makes your life that much easier.
