AuctionInc is a shipping cost calculator designed to enable customers to compare shipping rates and
choose the method that best suits their needs. AutionInc’s shipping cost calculator provides site
administrators with an accurate means of calculating shipping prices close to the actual cost of the
shipment based on different carrier charges and different delivery methods, taking destination, lot size,
and weight of the product into consideration. This will minimize the risk of overcharging for shipping (a
reason for lost sales) or losing money by charging your customers less than actual shipping charges.
