Bonus Episode 5: is Free Shipping a Good Idea or No?

Creative Entrepreneurship, DIY + Education, podcast

In this episode, I share my seller thoughts on free shipping and my consumer-self thoughts on the matter. Should you offer it? All the time? On Etsy? | the merriweather council blog

Free shipping

EVERY time “free shipping” comes up, it’s a lively discussion. As consumers, we all love it, of course. As sellers though, we have mixed emotions.

I remember one time I told the story of my BFFL Laura refusing to pay $5 in shipping for a ring she wanted to buy. I told the story in my Facebook group and a crazy immense discussion broke out for several days. A good time, indeed. There is just a LOT to say about it.

In this episode:
