If you carry unique products that are hard to find or price yourself competitively, shipping is a great way to expand your business.
By connecting a FedEx or UPS account with City Hive, the system will automatically calculate the cost of shipping based on the weight of the products a customer has added to their cart and distance to their location and automatically foster in what to charge the customer. The bottles are based on the following weights:
50ml - 0.2lbs
200ml - 0.7lbs
375ml - 1.52lbs
750ml - 3lbs
1L - 4lbs
1.75L - 7lbs
⏱ Time Estimate
After deciding which carrier you'd like to use, setting up your account takes between 5-10 minutes.
*Please Note: City Hive can only integrate one carrier or the other at this time. City Hive supports the integration of shipping labels with FedEx, the instructions on the set up of the labels can be found here: Automatically Create Shipping Labels*
