Question for small businesses that ship stuff

[matt819]

I think I've asked this before but am too lazy to check.

I ship stuff, mostly small, but larger than first class mail weight.

Shipping costs are added automatically by my website, though I can mark it up and add handling fees, which are then incorporated into the price the customer pays.

I know there's not a lot of wiggle room on shipping cost markup, but I would at least like to make a little on shipping, if only to make the cost of packaging (free packaging from USPS or UPS are not suitable for the items I sell). What do you do on shipping markup?

Not a lot of activity in this group, but I thought I'd ask here as opposed to the Lounge.

Thanks for the input.
