Shipping items under 1kg from Ghana is $35. How should we charge for shipping for a marketplace with multiple vendors shipping various items directly to the customer?
My online marketplace (womarketplace.com) allows vendors to sell their handmade in Africa items on our site, then ship directly to the customer. An item under 1kg is about $35 when shipping from Ghana through DHL (currently the cheapest) to the States or Europe. I'm having difficulty figuring out how to price the shipping on the site. Customers pay $30 for a product, then have to pay an additional $35 for shipping?! When customers are buying multiple items from vendors, they are spending about $35 per item under 1Kg items. There's gotta be a better way to go about this! What am I missing or doing wrong?
