[Seller] Shipping & Margin

Understand shipping options and margin before increasing volume.

Shipping Options

K-PACKET

  • Lower cost, slower lead time

  • 2-3 weeks delivery

  • Available countries: US (except HI/GU/Saipan), AU, BR, CA, CN, DE, ES, FR, GB, HK, JP, MY, PH, RU, SG, TH, TW, VN

EXPRESS (FedEx/DHL)

  • Faster and higher quality

  • 3-5 business days delivery

  • All countries available

  • Carrier automatically selected by Hypercape based on destination

Important Notes

  • Shipping fee is charged PER ORDER, not per product

  • K-PACKET orders may be upgraded to EXPRESS automatically if weight/conditions require it (at no extra charge to you if cost difference is minimal)

  • You select shipping method during checkout in Hypercape BIZ (customer's choice on Shopify does not affect actual shipping method)

Margin Formula

Your Profit = (Customer Product Price + Customer Shipping) - (Supply Price + Shipping Cost)

Example Calculation

Scenario: Selling a K-beauty serum

  • Customer pays: $45 (product) + $8 (shipping) = $53

  • You pay Hypercape: $18 (supply) + $3 (K-PACKET) = $21

  • Your margin: $32

Shipping Cost Structure

Shipping is based on freight charges only. Does NOT include:

  • Customs duties

  • Value-added tax (VAT)

  • Import clearance fees in destination country

The importer (customer) is responsible for these costs.

Setting Your Shopify Shipping Rates

You need to configure shipping rates yourself in Shopify Admin:

  1. Go to Settings → Shipping and delivery

  2. Create shipping zones by region

  3. Set rates that cover your costs + desired margin

  4. Consider offering free shipping (built into product price)
