Shipping rates and services
We can set up your shipping rates in several different ways, depending on your needs. You can offer both domestic and international shipping if you desire. The most common ways that vendors charge for standard delivery are:
- Flat rate per item, e.g. $5 shipping for one item, $10 shipping for two items…
- Variable rate per item, e.g. $5 shipping for item A, $10 shipping for item B…
- Flat rate per order, e.g. $5 shipping on all orders, regardless of number of items ordered
- Tiered rates according to weights, e.g. $5 shipping for orders weighing 1-4 pounds, $15 shipping for orders weighing 5-10 pounds…
- Tiered rates according to order subtotal, e.g. $5 for orders under $50, $10 shipping for orders between $50-100, free shipping for orders above $100…
- Free shipping on all orders
- Real-time shipping rates charged by our UPS calculator, which takes into account the product’s weight and the distance it will have to travel to get from you to the customer
You can also offer expedited shipping rates, e.g. overnight, second-day, or three-day shipping. Simply let us know what to charge for each delivery option and we will set that up for you.
Please note that you are not obligated to use any specific carrier, but you are expected to ship the order within 3 business days of the date the order was placed. If the item the customer purchased is on backorder, please inform our orders department about the delay immediately and we will contact the customer on your behalf.
Refund management
We will manage and process any refunds or charge backs to your account. Your return policy takes precedence over the Four Green Steps return policy. If you do not specify your return policy when setting up your account, then the Four Green Steps policy will be enforced.
Four Green Steps allows customers to return their purchases for any reason within 14 days of receipt for an exchange or a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping and handling costs). If the return is being made due to a mistake in their order, the customer will be refunded for the original shipping, and you will also be asked to cover the cost of the customer’s return shipping.
If your return policy is different from ours, please contact us with all the details of your policy so that we can add them to our Return Policy page for customers to view.
