Why are some shipping rates on Etsy mismatched from my pushed Grandville Printing flat rates?

The moment you connect your Etsy store to Grandville Printing, Grandville Printing's flat shipping rates are automatically pushed to your products.

Grandville Printing's rates won't match Etsy's shipping rates in cases when orders on Etsy's side contain Grandville Printing items that ship separately.

To calculate the shipping cost for orders with products that ship separately, Grandville Printing adds the shipping price from the First product row of all items (see the rates here).

Here's how much Grandville Printing charges to ship a t-shirt, mug, and stickers to the US:

$3.99 + $6.99 + $3.25 = $14.23

(First product shipping cost for a t-shirt + First product shipping cost for a mug + First product shipping cost for stickers)

Etsy uses the same Grandville Printing shipping prices but doesn't have information from Grandville Printing about which products ship separately. Etsy takes the base shipping price from the product with the highest shipping cost in the First product row. Then, to cover the additional item's shipping cost, it adds that product's shipping cost from the Additional product row.

Here's how much it costs to ship a t-shirt, mug, and stickers to the US with Etsy's shipping algorithm:

$1.25 + $6.99 + $0.05 = $8.29

(Additional product shipping cost for a t-shirt + First product shipping cost for a mug + Additional product shipping cost for stickers)

Grandville Printing will charge you the shipping costs accordingly to its calculations. To avoid losing on shipping costs on Etsy and Grandville Printing for products that ship separately, we recommend you review your product pricing and adjust it to cover the shipping cost difference.

Products that ship separately are mugs, framed posters, posters, canvas, stickers, jewelry, bean bags, backpacks, pillows with stuffing, and snapback hats.
