Where do I put Shipping Charges I pay on the Chart of Accounts? For my business, I buy most of my inventory online and usually have to pay shipping charges.

Shipping Charges? I'm shipping a TV from Massachusetts to Northern California, it has to be atleast 85 lbs, i'd say around 100. It's one of the thick tvs, so its probably about 25 inches in height, 25 inches in length and about 12 or so in width. How much is this going to cost me?
Can a company add finance charges and interest to shipping charges? I ordered an Airdyne Bike and when it was delivered, it never made it off the UPS truck. They are charging me shipping charges, which I completely understand i'm responsible for, but those charges are accruing interest, and finance charges. I thought the interest and finance charges would be applied to the actual merchandise.
How come I have to pay two shipping charges? I added two of the exact same item (civilization revolution for Xbox 360) to my shopping cart, and it charges the $3.99 shipping and handling fee twice. Is there anyway to eliminate this since it is going to the same address?
What does this mean??? Will I have to pay shipping charges for the product return? On the company website this is part of their return policy and Im not sure what they mean... "Your money will be refunded promptly less shipping charges via crediting your credit card. There will be a 15% restocking charge on any opened or used items." Do I get my shipping refunded or not? I didn't open or use the items I got so they actually shouldnt take 15% off thanks though.

How would an oline retailer set up shipping charges on their web site? If you are an online retailer with no inventory~you have a vendor in CT and say another in CO. A customer orders a product from the vendor in CT (they charge a flat rate of $7 to ship) and a product from CO (they charge by weight) how would you determine a shipping charge on the check out page? Would you use weight, total order price or what?
In Texas, are shipping charges subject to the Texas sales tax? When you order an item online and the vendor charges sales tax, is it proper for the vendor to include sales tax on shipping charges? There's one answer that says "Yes. Most states do charge sales tax on shipping charges". This probably answers my question, but, is Texas included in the group of most states?
How would I calculate shipping charges? I run a webstore and need to calculate shipping for my products. However, I have quite a few different suppliers who drop ship for me and each is unique in how they charge shipping. I'm thinking it would be better if I charged a set percentage of the order total. Any ideas?
If I buy my supplies online can I deduct the shipping charges?

What is the typical shipping charges of a car dealership? So I'm looking to buy a car, but the best deal I've found so far is about 150 miles away.

Any help is appreciated!
Should a small boutique pay shipping charges? In a small women's apparel boutique, is it appropriate for the vendors we order all our clothes from to pay shipping, or normal for us to pay? We usually order minimum $500 and up. We have found some sites on the web that ship free with a minimum $300, but our normal vendors that we have worked with for years still charge us shipping even when we order over $1000 at once. Is this the norm, or is that something we should negotiate, or work on negotiating in the future?Thanks!

Shipping charges for selling trading cards on ebay? I am planning to sell single Yugioh cards on ebay sometime soon and only thing I need help with is shipping costs.

Why are some sites shipping charges DRASTICALLY more expensive compared to eBay's charges? For example, I was going to buy this shirt from a site, and the shipping was almost $35 for a t shirt (wow..) and once I saw that, obviously, I looked elsewhere, anyone with a half a brain would. I then found the exact same shirt on eBay, and the shipping was $10. So, my question: Why are other sites shipping so expensive (Also, I am in Canada) but eBay's are relatively cheap, at least compared to other sites?
Don't you think it would be nicer if Newegg let you reduce shipping charges? Wouldn't it be nicer if Newegg let you reduce shipping charges by letting you offer to wait until they could ship everything in 1 (or 2) boxes? Sometimes I'm not in a hurry and would rather save some $$ than get things quicker. Not blogging... Was thinking of sending the answers to newegg in hopes that they'd consider changing.
Why are shipping charges internationally so high? I have a few items I want to purchase from a UK shop and have them shipped to the US. The total amount owed is only 30 pounds but the shipping is 45 pounds. Why is it so high? It seems strange to pay more for shipping then the items total price. If it helps the items are a shirt and an action figure I can't buy here.
Is it possible to change shipping charges in an active eBay listing? I always use calculated shipping. This time, I guessed the weight of the item, and it actually weighs 2 lb. less than I thought, and reduces the shipping cost by a few dollars. Is there a way to change that in an active listing? If not, can I change it before I send the invoice to the buyer?
Why do some eBay vendors charge ridiculous shipping charges? I was looking at some parts for my car and all I am wanting to get is a front air dampener. They say the item costs $100 then you check and it says: Shipping $155 business only, (additional $50 to residential). Seriously? $200+ for shipping? When I purchased a complete cat-back exhaust system with cat, shipping was $30 and came from across the country. Is it coming from out of the country or is it simply to trick would be buyers?

Why are shipping charges so expensive now? I've been selling things on ebay since 1999 and live in the USA. Within the last couple months I've noticed shipping charges (especially overseas) have jumped to incredibly expensive rates!! Going by my old shipping rates, I ended up having to pay an additional $40 for two packages going overseas (ouch, I hurt!) because the postal service no longer provides the cheaper rates I had been so used to. What's up with this? Why is shipping suddenly SO expensive for international shipments? Why is the postal service no longer providing the cheaper rates?
Increasing shipping charges on eBay after an auction has closed? I won an auction on eBay a short time ago. I used the shipping calculator in the listing itself to calculate the postage costs - $40. Now, after the auction close, the seller is telling me the shipping is $60. There was no disclaimer or statement in the auction stating that shipping costs were estimates, nor that shipping charges could be changed. Is this allowed? What policies can I refer to -- the ones I have read are not specific enough for this issue. Should have mentioned - I have contacted the seller who expects me to pay the increased shipping cost. The shipping is calculated automatically based on the weight and dimensions the seller enters when creating their eBay listing - so I can't see any reason why the cost would legitimately be 50% more than stated.

In accounting, how do I handle shipping charges collected? I have a small retail business, and I just started selling online. I use quickbooks for my accounting. I am now collecting shipping.

On an income statement, do you enter shipping charges paid by the customer as income, and then an expense? I am wondering if I should put a line on my income statement for "shipping income" that I receive on my sales. And then have a line under expenses for my "shipping expenses," as in the actual cost to ship the item, and then another expense line for "shipping supplies." If not, then how else do I show any difference in the amount of shipping collected from the customer and the actual amount (bigger or smaller) that I pay for shipping the item? (On the income statement.) I am not using Quickbooks or Quicken. I have just made a spreadsheet myself in Excel.
Does anyone know of an online bookstore that only charges you ONCE for shipping? I tried to buy books online at both Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but they want to charge you a separate shipping fee for each book, usually making the shipping cost more than what you paid for the books! I find this to be a ridiculous way to treat your customers! Does anyone know of a place online where I can buy books and only be charged ONE shipping fee?
