The Shipping Methods and Prices dialog box lists the various shipping methods that you can offer to your Internet customers. To complete this dialog box you must first determine what methods you want to offer, how you want to calculate shipping costs, and the prices that you want to apply.The Program currently offers the following shipping methods: Ground, Next Day, 2-day, priority Mail, and International.You may decide that some of these are not applicable to your customers. When you set your calculation method, two of them require a dollar price (the flat rate method or cost per item method). The last method, percentage of sales, requires that you enter a percentage figure. Currently, there is no calculation method that specifically takes into account weight. So you might want to be careful if you have products that vary greatly in weight.
To specify shipping methods and prices:
1. With the Shipping Methods and Prices dialog box displayed, place a check mark next the shipping methods that you intend to offer.
2. Select the calculation method you intend to use when calculating shipping costs.
There are three calculation
options: a Flat Rate option, which assigns a flat rate shipping cost, no matter how big
the order; A Cost per Item option, which assigns a shipping cost to each item
purchased; and a Percentage of sales option, which assigns shipping cost based on the
totaldollar value of the sale. You may only select one.
3. Enter the dollar or percentage cost associated with each shipping method.
4. When done, click Next.
