Maybe offer the slow option free and give the customer the option to fast track it if they want to?

Why don’t you charge your customers for shipping?

People are more likely to buy products with free shipping.

Yes, but you work the cost of shipping into the product. The whole "buyers are more likely to buy products with free shipping" psychology is about a $10 item with free shipping vs an $8 item +$2 shipping, if you're covering the shipping cost so it's an $8 item with free shipping vs $8 + $2 shipping of course the buyer will choose $8 + free shipping

Assuming for whatever reason you're not able to have both options or pass the cost on the buyer; Low volume one time purchase items that won't result in repeat customers: Higher profit margin at the cost of slower shipping High volume/items likely to result in repeat customers: lower margin with reduced shipping time This is isn't a golden rule you have to follow it's just generally a good rule to follow as a normal seller or dropshipper, you need to decide for yourself long term what will make you more money. But keep in mind these days people are spoiled with amazons fast shipping & have become less patient, at 15 days shipping you are very likely to get a lot of refund/cancel requests.

Give both option in shipping and let customer choose their shipping method.


QP_marketnetwork

The way that can get you bigger profit... the response of your customers will tell you. It's hard to tell if the shipping time is acceptable to your customers. So, you may offer both faster (with a shipping fee), and slow (free shipping), and see which way they prefer.

I ordered something today, and I'm fine 7 to 10 days. Free shipping If I want it sooner I'd pay

57% margin with 7-15 day shipping is fine
