delivery costs

Price for transport

Delivery costs are the fees charged to transport goods from seller to buyer.

These may include shipping, handling, fuel surcharges, and insurance.

In business accounting, delivery costs factor into pricing decisions and profit margins: Free shipping just means the delivery costs are built into the price.

Online shoppers often abandon carts when delivery costs seem too high.
