Shipping Cost in Profit Models

Treat shipping as a first-class line item so promotions and carrier changes do not surprise your net margin.

Per-order allocation approach

Divide blended monthly shipping spend by fulfilled orders, then add surcharges for overweight zones or rush service.

  • Separate outbound delivery from packaging materials if helpful
  • Update the rate when carrier contracts renew
