I sell small electronics online and through Amazon.

Free Shipping is the crack cocaine of getting the cart into check out. I have a minimum $$ order amount and it’s “free” if under that I tack 10% to the shipping total cost (postage+box). This drives my average order amount up and covers the time for low dollar orders.

Good luck
