shipping costs
The amount of money that must be paid for transporting and delivering an ordered item to the customer.
Die Versandkosten für das Paket nach Österreich betragen 9,90 Euro.
The shipping costs for the package to Austria are 9.90 euros.
The word is made up of 'der Versand' (the sending/shipping of goods) and 'die Kosten' (the cost or price of something). So it literally means 'costs for shipping'.
Prüfen Sie vor der Bestellung die Höhe der Versandkosten.
Check the amount of the shipping costs before ordering.
Although a singular form exists, the word is used almost exclusively in the plural 'die Versandkosten' (shipping costs), even when it refers to just one delivery.
Die Versandkosten sind in diesem Onlineshop sehr niedrig.
The shipping costs are very low in this online shop.
Common verbs used in connection with shipping costs are 'anfallen' (to be incurred), 'betragen' (to amount to), 'übernehmen' (to cover), and 'sparen' (to save).
Ab einem Bestellwert von 50 Euro fallen keine Versandkosten an.
For orders over 50 euros, no shipping costs are incurred.
postage
Porto is the fee paid directly to the postal service for transporting a mail item. Versandkosten (shipping costs) for ordered goods may additionally include packaging or handling. For a letter sent by mail, “Porto” is usually the appropriate term; when shopping online, “Versandkosten” is more common.
Beim Onlinekauf kommen zum Preis noch die Versandkosten hinzu.
When you shop online, shipping costs are added to the price.
Für den Brief zur Post muss ich noch das Porto bezahlen.
