delivery fees

Cost of transport

Delivery fees are charges added to an order to cover the cost of transporting goods from a seller or restaurant to a customer's location.

These fees vary widely depending on distance, delivery speed, and the service provider, with some businesses offering free delivery above a certain purchase threshold.

The delivery fees on that app are almost as much as the food itself.

In the era of online shopping and food delivery apps, customers have grown accustomed to—if not always happy about—paying delivery fees on top of item prices.
