shipping cost
Postage and handling
Shipping cost is the fee charged to transport goods from seller to buyer.
It may be flat-rate or calculated by weight, distance, or delivery speed.
Online shoppers often abandon carts when shipping costs seem too high: Free shipping on orders over fifty dollars.
The plural shipping costs typically refers to the expense category rather than multiple individual fees.
