Let me guide you on how to handle shipping fees, janalea.

 

Shipping Fee is the cost incurred by a seller when delivering a parcel to a buyer. As sellers will prepare and ship their own parcels, buying from different sellers means you will have to pay different shipping fees charged by each seller. You'll have to add the inventory items first and add shipping fees as service items with a negative amount. To do this, you can follow the steps below:

  1. From the List menu, select Item List.
  2. Select New on the Item drop-down.
  3. On the TYPE field, select Service.
  4. You can enter the Shipping Fee as the Item Name/Number.
  5. Enter a negative number as the Rate.
  6. Select an Account.
  7. Click OK.

Once done, you can add the shipping fee to your bill. Here's how:

  1. From the Vendors menu, select Enter Bills.
  2. Select a VENDOR.
  3. Go to the Items field.
  4. Select the item.
  5. Select the shipping fee with the negative amount.
  6. Click Save & Close.

 

After entering a transaction, you can create a report that will show your total sales. Additionally, learn how to customize reports so you'll get the specific information you need. I've added this article for your guide: Customize Reports In QuickBooks Desktop.
