Landed Cost Isn’t Just a Number—It’s Your Business Foundation

If you don’t know what it truly costs to deliver your product to your customer, you’re flying blind. Landed cost is more than math—it’s survival.

  • Product cost (manufacturing or wholesale)
  • Shipping (including international freight)
  • Customs duties and taxes
  • Packaging, fulfillment, and handling
  • Platform or payment processor fees (Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, etc.)
  • Guess or assume “free shipping” won’t cost you
  • Forget international shipping zones or rates
  • Ignore returns, chargebacks, or damaged goods

Without knowing your total cost per unit delivered, you can’t price your product—or scale profitably.
