Question
You want to understand how Printful ships your orders and the associated costs. How do you know what to charge your customers for shipping costs?
Answer
Our Pro stores include an optional Printful integration. Your customers place their orders in your Pro Store, Printful receives them automatically and starts to produce them.
Printful takes 2–7 business days to create a product and fulfill an order. Next, the item is shipped directly to your supporter. Shipping time depends on products and delivery destination. In general, US orders can take about 5-12 days to ship.

What is the retail shipping price?
Retail shipping price is how much you charge your customer for shipping. This is determined by your organization. On the other hand, the Printful shipping price is what Printful charges your organization for shipping when they send out your order.
This means that the amount you pay is:
Printful product price + Printful shipping price
And the price your customer pays is:
Your product retail price + Retail shipping price
You get to choose the retail product price and the retail shipping price. For example, you can make it equal to the Printful shipping price so that your customer is covering the costs, or you can set it to $0 to offer free shipping as a special promotion. Some organizations also mark up the shipping price, as Printful's shipping price is very reasonable. However, keep in mind that this can lead to cart abandonment.
