How Our Rates Are Calculated
Amazon.com charges buyers a flat rate for shipping seller orders, and passes the funds to the seller to offset the costs of packaging and labor, as well as the actual postage required.
The credit given to a seller will usually closely match what the seller pays to ship the item, using the option that you have chosen (i.e. Domestic Standard, Domestic Expedited, etc.).
