I have a giftbasket business, and want to sell on the web. How can other sites charge so little for shipping?
Answer:
Bulk rates, and shipping contracts.
You charge more for the gift basket and make it seem like shipping is a deal.
Maybe you need to build that difference into the cost of the basket?
I am a rep for Mia Bella Soy Candles, if you are looking for anything like that for your baskets

They probably get a discount on their shipping for doing high volume each month. Ask UPS what you would need to qualify for that.
yeah, some people figure that in to the cost of the product, or maybe some places get deals depending on how much they are shipping, like a bulk rate
Most of the time, the extra cost is absorbed by the cost of the gift basket or product. Say your shipping costs are averaging around $12-15 for one of you baskets, and this particular basket is being sold by you for $25. Then you would simply charge a little more for your product - maybe $35 instead of $25. In this way, you can offer your customers cheaper shipping costs that seem like a deal.
