You put a lot of effort into making sure your customers have a great experience. You approve the images, you tweak your store, and you write the emails, all with the goal of leaving your customers happy.
But you're probably still asking yourself, "how to ship my products to customers". Ecommerce shipping is a key part of your business. It’s the point where a customer finally experiences your product in person, and it can also represent a major expense in your business, depending on your ecommerce shipping strategy.
We’ll go over shipping strategy, product packaging, using popular carriers, tracking and insurance, reducing your shipping costs, and delivery options for ecommerce shipping integrations.

What's annoying is, that everyone was fine with shipping until amazon started offering free shipping, and now everyone expects small businesses to offer free shipping as well. :(

Hey guys, please note that the free trial promotion has changed. The free trial period is now for 3 days, after which it will cost only 1$/month for the next 3 months!

Thank you soo much for this video! This really breaks down the shipping process and costs for me as I struggle with understanding this the most in my business. Keep up the great work!

I have a fascinating question, When customers want to return their products, how should we take that? like how I have no idea!

[MaiteMugica]

This was super helpful. I'm just kickstarting my business and am realizing there's a lot to consider. One question- I'm starting a very small capsule collection (150 pieces or so to start), mainly to test interest in my product. Is Shopify, or a similar option, the best "first" course of action or am I too small to start off with Shopify?

[josephcubit]

Thanks so much! I was thinking about starting with 3PL awesome.

I want to offer free shipping in the lower 48 States. However, I’ll need to charge shipping on orders ordered overseas until I can get fulfillment centers in every country I’m selling in. I suppose I’ll need different websites for each country but all tied to my US fulfillment center. I’m excited about all these new challenges.

[srikarmanikonda]

What are some of the best 3PL companies for smaller merchants?

[gianfilippociao]

Hi! Nice video very clear but...I want to ask for more informations about customized products and packagins, how it works precisely with 3PL, Dropshipping Agents or Shipping companies?

[evanmassimino]

I'm guessing you can't use a 3PL if you're dropshipping, correct?

[projectchaser]

Why should I need to download and pay for a monthly app when shopify should have this as a basic feature?

[pajeetsingh]

How much does Amazon spend on logistic per year in US?

[MrLaruzer]

How do I partner with other retail stores and online companiesies and I will ship to global and local customers? And change them less

[ufjjoyw]

I have 4 products that I want to sell as one bundle on amazon. I was wondering how to do this. I need a company that receives all the packages, takes 3 out of the box, and put it in the fourth item box. Than ships to costumer..

[abdulwahabbabar]

Hey there I’ve a question
So the thing is that I’ve started a 14day free trial on shopify and it ended but after that one of my frnd suggested me the developer option thing
And I don’t what that is
So can you drop the link of the video explaining this all??
Moreover can I shift my previous work there?? So i can continue finishing my store until its ready and then I’ll pay Shopify to publish it online??

[MiMilSTAR]

What do you think about USP? Does it deliver to all parts of the world? Because I want to ship to all countries without exception, please answer me, and what do you think about Aramex? Do you ship to all parts of the world without exception? +Can you tell me how do I know each company to which country it ships to?

[kristen]

I sold my first order, my measurements were correct and the weight was correct, but when I brought my package the PO said I owed .75 because the labels price was wrong. Not a big deal it was 1 item, but what happens when I drop of 20 packages, if they are all off! What am I missing? TY!

[susanfarris]

I use USPS via Shipping Easy. Shopify was charging .50 more per USPS package compared to Shipping Easy. Why???

[grannyssecret]

I want to know i have to open an store both in amazon and etsy what documentation will be required to send the parcels internationally please tell
