Introduce a transparent Packaging & Handling (P&H) fee on every order to cover the costs of packaging materials and order processing.
The P&H fee would be a flat rate or tiered based on order size or complexity. It helps cover:
Packaging: Supplies like boxes, bags, protective materials, and labels.
Handling: Labor involved in carefully packing and preparing each order for shipment.
Benefits:
Offsets costs for high-quality packaging materials.
Keeps product prices stable by separating operational costs.
Provides clarity for customers with a detailed breakdown of costs at checkout.
Implementation Options:
Flat Fee: A fixed amount for all orders (e.g., €3).
Tiered Fee: Based on order size or weight.
