The fairest model (from the customer's viewpoint) is the actual shipping model. USPS charges you $12.85? Then you charge the customer $...

OK, yeah I know. There's no such thing as free shipping. Most people do one of two things to offer "free shipping": Bump up t...

There was a thread recently on bonanzle about what someone should charge for shipping and handling. Let me say right off the bat: if you te...
