Your numbers
True order fulfillment cost

Important limit
A cost-covering rate still needs a conversion test.
Platform, payment, carrier, insurance, fuel, residential, oversize, address-correction, return, and tax treatment vary. Confirm the fee applied to shipping in your account, then test free-shipping thresholds, flat rates, zones, and product-price subsidies against conversion and margin.
