TikTok Shop shipping costs range from $3.00 (FBT, 1 lb, under 100 miles) to $18+ (self-fulfilled, 5 lb, cross-country). The calculator below shows your true per-order shipping load — essential for deciding between FBT and self-fulfill, and for pricing products that have thin margins.
The formula
Shipping Cost per Order = Base Fee + (Weight × Weight Multiplier) + Zone Surcharge
Worked example: 1.5 lb product, mixed US zones, FBT
| Line item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Base pick & pack fee | $2.40 |
| Weight surcharge (1.5 lb × $0.55) | $0.83 |
| Zone surcharge (avg mixed US) | $0.27 |
| FBT total / order | $3.50 |
| Self-fulfilled via 3PL equivalent | $5.20 |
| FBT savings / order | $1.70 (33%) |
