Why We Charge for Shipping on Orders Under $40
Share
At Fresh Finds Market, we’re committed to offering great products at competitive prices. But we know some customers ask: "Why do you charge for shipping on orders under $40?"
We’d like to break down the reasoning behind our shipping policy and show you why it actually works in your favor. Let’s talk about the myth of “free” shipping and how our approach benefits you as a customer.
1. There's No Such Thing as "Free" Shipping
Many retailers promote "free" shipping, but in reality, free shipping isn’t free. Companies that offer it are simply rolling the shipping cost into the price of each item. So, while it may appear like you’re not paying for shipping, the cost is still hidden in the inflated item price.

2. What Happens When Shipping Costs Are Built Into Product Prices?
When shipping costs are built into product prices, you end up paying more, especially if you're purchasing multiple units. At Fresh Finds Market, we believe in keeping our prices low and honest. We want you to pay for the product, not hidden shipping costs.

3. The Fresh Finds Market Difference: Better Value, Honest Pricing
Let’s use a real-world example to explain the difference. On our website, a 12-pack of Fanta Strawberry costs $11.99, while the same product on Amazon is priced at $21.00. Now, let’s see how the total price adds up if you purchase three 12-packs from each store:

- Fresh Finds Market: 3 packs x $11.99 = $35.97, plus $8.99 for shipping. Total: $44.96.
- Amazon: 3 packs x $21.00 = $63.00 with "free" shipping.
In this case, even after paying for shipping, you save over $18 by shopping with us! This is why we choose to charge for shipping separately—so we can keep our product prices as low as possible, without hiding costs.
4. Why This Matters for You
At Fresh Finds Market, we want you to be able to buy multiple items affordably. By keeping our prices transparent and competitive, you’re not paying for hidden shipping costs on every item. You only pay for shipping once, and once your order totals $40 or more, we’ll take care of the shipping charge altogether.
