Shipping is the transportation of goods from one place to another that means seller to the buyer. It is a marketing tactic used primarily by online vendors as a sales strategy to attract customers. Shipping Cost is an amount paid by the customer for the delivery of a purchased product, collected by the delivery service, the company, or both. The cost may change from one product to another or based on conditions like weight, size, price etc.. Shipping charge also tends to decline with larger volumes.
