The Key to Free Freight Offers

One key to free freight offers is the fact that shipping cost per pound drops quickly as total package weight increases. For instance, the typical UPS or FedEx cost for zone 5 residential delivery is approximately $7 for a one pound package, however they charge only $.60 per pound for a twenty pound package--yet revenue per pound remains unchanged. Be sure to calculate the weight of the shipment versus shipping costs to see if free shipping offers are feasible for your online store.
