  • Shipping is one of the most intimidating sections within Shopify, but it doesnt have to be. If you want me to create additional video on shipping leave a comment below or like a comment that you agree with. Thanks!

    When i shipping, i want to use the P.O Box address. But in reality if i do shipping at my home address, i want to know how to do it. Your video was helpful.

    How can Shopify handle situations where someone orders 5 of one item, so those 5 can't fit into the normal-sized package for one?

    THANK YOU.. I think most of the hangup on figuring out shipping is when people buy more than one product that it is going into the right packaging. That is what I am having issues with. Making sure that only 1=3 items go into let's say regional box b... or they could also fit into priority box, or a bubble wrap envelope.
  • I have custom profiles set up but when someone ordered 3 of the same item they were only charged shipping for one item. How do I change it so each item is charged? Shopify told me I had to setup packages but in packages I don't see how to link a package to a product. My products range in weight from 8 oz to 200 lbs.

    When you are adding a rate and you use the carrier rates to calculate rates there is a paragraph under Service that I could use clarity on. This is when you are using the Shopify discounted rates. It say "rates based on your customer's address and the weight and dimensions of their order". I know where the weight is entered in the product but where do these dimensions come from? Also as far as understand Shopify only allows you to use one default box size. What does this section mean? Thank you.
  • when you have your rate and carrier rate both turned on, it shows both of them when someone is checking out?
  • This is a great video. Very clear and concise. I have a question about the handling fees you added for Alaska & Hawaii & Canada. Were those necessary to add or was that for demonstration only? When the postal codes or ZIP codes are entered does the shipping companies not give correct shipping fees to those far away places? Thank you.
  • Good to know you can go into the code and change packing slip details. Great video, but what if I am dropshipping my products from two different stores, one in the USA and one in the UK? Both have apps so I was thinking I could just set each individual item to the automatic setting with the app/carrier? Do you think that would calculate the accurate shipping? Is there a way to check to make sure the shipping is set to the right settings without making a purchase? Any help would be appreciated :)

    In the section where you add the package sizes you can only use one of them as the default package to calculate rates at checkout. What is the point of having the other packages if Shopify only lets you use one size?
