Examples of Fixed Rate & Combined Shipping in Action:

Note: These examples focus solely on shipping costs (item price, tax, and fees are not included).

Example 1:

Buyer Purchases 3 Items During a Live Show

  • 1st item: Fixed Rate $5, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to $2 Buyer pays $5 shipping for the first item (Fixed Rate).

  • 2nd item: Fixed Rate $5, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to $1 Buyer pays $1 shipping for the second item (Combined rate applies).

  • 3rd item: Fixed Rate $6, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to $2 Buyer pays $2 shipping for the third item (Combined applies).

Total shipping paid: $8 for three items (instead of $16 without Combined Shipping).

Example 2:

Buyer Purchases 2 Items from the Same Seller

  • 1st item: Fixed Rate $10, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to $2 Buyer pays $10 shipping for the first item (Fixed Rate).

  • 2nd item: Fixed Rate $5, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to $0 Buyer pays $0 shipping for the second item (Combined applies).

Total shipping paid: $10 for both items.

Example 3:

Buyer Purchases 4 Items with Varied Settings

  • 1st item: Fixed Rate $2, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to $0.50 Buyer pays $2 shipping for the first item (Fixed Rate).

  • 2nd item: Fixed Rate $2, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to $0.50 Buyer pays $0.50 shipping for the second item (Combined applies).

  • 3rd item: Fixed Rate $18, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to OFF Buyer pays $18 shipping for this item as Combined Shipping is off.

  • 4th item: Fixed Rate $4, Cost Per Additional Purchase set to $1 Buyer pays $1 shipping for the fourth item.

Total shipping paid: $21.50 for four items. In this example, the 3rd item has combined shipping turned off. If your item is heavy, fragile, needs to be shipped alone, etc. it's a good idea to have combined turned off.
