Shipping and handling
Shipping and handling refer to the processes involved in delivering a product from the seller to the customer. Shipping covers the transportation of the item via carriers like mail or couriers. Handling involves preparing the product for shipment, which includes packaging, labeling, and managing the logistics. These costs ensure the product reaches its destination safely and efficiently. Shipping and handling fees are often charged by sellers to cover these expenses, and they can vary based on factors like size, weight, destination, and delivery speed.
