Hi guys! What do you think about free shipping? just wondering, I'm thinking about it... thanks!

Mostly I don't offer free shipping. You could try it for a while and see if sales improve...

I offer free shipping sometimes. Most of the times, for small items that doesn't cost much to ship or if it's an OOAK item that is ready to ship and I don't want to repeat it. More like to get rid of it :)

Hi Patti, my whole shop is in Free Shipping. It's a good way to increase and promote your sales.

I offer free shipping very rare but when the shipping is expensive (for heavy items) I reduce shipping cost and add it to item's cost to make the item more attractive or ordering :)

Would love to offer free shipping but it's too much for International orders, which many of our sales are. I think it only makes sense if you are selling a lower cost item which ships in a small box and does not need insurance or tracking.

I am going to start offering Free Domestic Shipping for all my items on the 1st. I already do for all jewelry and discount on international. It has been a job to look at all items and see how the price fits with my already listed items and all the new items I am holding off listing till then. I hope it all pays off. I will let you all know how it goes.

I don't offer free shipping. It really depends, most importantly, on how much profit you have to play with. I actually price my shipping a little higher than the actual cost to cover my listing fee and etsy fees. It works for me at the moment, but it's always something to re-evaluate.

I also don't offer free shipping. I do use free shipping coupons on those orders that are well over 10 items purchased (and if the dollar amount warrants it - as long as the purchase is not on sale).

I have tried it with a variety of items with mixed results. Seems to work for small items that have low shipping costs but doesn't help with items that have a higher shipping cost. That is to say, works for lettermail/media mail shipments but not for bulkier items like teacups. We are based in Canada so our Canada/U.S.A. items would get free shipping but international orders would be charged 2 or 3 dollars to cover the extra cost.

If you offer free shipping, remember to add a tag of Free Shipping to your 13 tags. People search for Free Shipping so it needs to be a tag.

I'm offering Free Shipping world wide it's the only way to remain competitive !

Earlier, I used the free shipping, very often. But for large orders it can be inconvenient to the customer. And for the delivery of Etsy is no fees.
