How to set shipping prices for each governorate

A simple way to price shipping in Egypt without losing on far orders or scaring off nearby customers.

Shipping price is one of the main reasons customers abandon carts. The goal is a fair price that covers your cost.

Group governorates into zones

Instead of one price per governorate, group those with similar costs: Cairo and Giza, then the Delta and Alexandria, then Upper Egypt, then the border governorates.

Start from your carrier's invoice

Know what you actually pay for each zone, add packaging, then decide whether the customer pays the full price or you absorb part of it.

Use free shipping as a tool

Free shipping above an amount raises the average order. Pick an amount a little above your current average order.

Show the delivery time clearly

Customers accept a price more easily when they know when the order arrives. On Qeersh you set a price and a time for each zone, and you can also let customers choose the delivery day and time.

Review prices every month

Shipping costs change, so review your zones and prices regularly.
