Why do you charge shipping instead of offering "Free Shipping"?

At FraguLuxe, we believe in transparent pricing.

The truth is: there’s really no such thing as free shipping — shipping costs are paid somewhere. Many retailers simply build those costs into the product price.

We choose a different approach: keep product prices lower and charge actual shipping costs separately whenever possible.

Why? Because it often saves you money — especially when buying multiple items.

Example:

If we added a flat $7.95 shipping cost into every product price:

  • 1 item at $10 → $17.95 total

  • 2 items at $10 each → $35.90 total

With our shipping model:

  • 1 item at $10 → $17.95 total

  • 2 items at $10 each → $29.45 total

That’s a $6.45 savings simply because we combine shipping instead of charging hidden shipping costs on every item.

By separating product pricing from shipping costs, we’re able to:
✔ Keep everyday prices lower
✔ Offer better value on multi-item orders
✔ Avoid inflating prices to cover “free shipping” marketing

Our goal is simple: fair pricing, transparent costs, and better savings when you shop more.
