Why does shipping cost way more for sending a package compared to when ordering something?

781 views

So if I am ordering something across the ocean, compared to me sending something to a friend across the ocean, I pay more than 5 times more for sending a package than just ordering something from the same place, and it’s always like that. Do businesses get some special deal or something?

Every online retailer has a different cost structure. Mostly it depends on the country’s import-export policies and the taxes they applied are different depending on the country’s policies. As some companies also provide free shipping like **PrintingShell.**

It depends on the products you order as some shipments charge according to weight and some just keep in mind that how much space the product take So that’s why shipping cost varies. Mostly internationally it depends on the product size and it cost more if the size is bigger.
