Setting up your costs Answer 23 of 46 Updated

What are the five logistics components?

They are the five kinds of logistics rule: Shipping rate card, Pick & pack, Packaging material, Return processing and Packaging EPR fees. You pick one under Component after you click Add rule on the Logistics page. You cannot change a rule's component after you save it.

Shipping rate card is the carrier's price per parcel, by zone and by weight or size. Pick & pack is your warehouse's fee for picking items and packing them. Packaging material is the box, tape and filler for each parcel.

Return processing is a return label plus handling, for each refund where items come back. Packaging EPR fees are the recycling fee per kilogram of packaging, by the country a parcel goes to. nouz prices that fee, and your scheme handles the filing.

Return processing counts on the day of the refund, and the other four on the day of the order. Nothing is paid back when an order is refunded, because the parcel did go out. Together they make your logistics cost per order. On the P&L, open Logistic Costs to see each part: Shipping, Pick & pack, Packaging, EPR fees and Returns.
