Why We Don't Offer Free Shipping
You may have noticed that we don't offer free shipping at Oz FDM. We understand that this might seem counterintuitive in today's e-commerce landscape, but there are some important reasons for this decision.
Firstly, there's no such thing as truly free shipping. The cost of shipping is a real expense for businesses, and those costs are often built into the product price when free shipping is offered. At Oz FDM, we believe in transparency and prefer to keep our product prices as low as possible. By charging a separate shipping fee, we can offer you better value for money on our products.
Secondly, shipping costs can vary significantly depending on the size and weight of your order, as well as your location. Offering a flat-rate shipping option would mean overcharging customers in some areas and undercharging others. We believe it's fairer to charge a shipping fee based on the actual cost of getting your order to you.
By keeping our product prices competitive and charging a transparent shipping fee, we can offer better value to our customers, especially those located closer to our Perth warehouse. We appreciate your understanding of our position and hope this explanation provides clarity.
To ensure complete transparency, our shipping costs are automatically calculated in your cart and checkout area using Australia Post rates. This means you'll always know exactly how much you'll be paying for shipping before you complete your order.
Thank you for choosing Oz FDM!
