Calculated, flat, and free shipping
Calculated shipping is Etsy setting the buyer price from location, weight, and size for eligible US and Canada sellers. How to set up calculated shipping. This page does not produce that price. Etsy combines the items on a multi-item order, and this page still takes the one shipping charge on the order.
Flat shipping is a price you type. This calculator says whether it covers the postage you typed. Free shipping means the buyer pays $0, and the postage and packaging come out of the item price.
Certain US domestic listings with a shipping price over $6 appear lower in Etsy search. Some listing types are excluded. A free-shipping guarantee is you offering free shipping on US orders of $35 or more. Etsy does not pay the label. How to ship your items on Etsy.
