Shipping charges are the cost that a customer has to bear to receive their order from an e-commerce platform. To provide a complete product cost break-up to the customer and help them make an informed decision, platforms often provide detailed information about the product cost, shipping charges and taxes to the customers.
Also, recently shipping charges have also become a great way to promote a platform to customers. To create a strong brand establishment or a marketing promotional tactic, e-commerce platforms often provide free shipping to new customers or to customers making bulk purchases from the platform.
