handling charges
Shipping cost additions
Handling charges are fees added to a transaction to cover the cost of processing, packaging, or moving goods.
They typically appear alongside shipping costs in retail purchases: The item was $20, but shipping and handling brought it to $35.
The charge ostensibly covers labor and materials for preparing an order, though critics note handling fees sometimes exceed actual costs.
