For many eCommerce brands, shipping is one of the largest expenses on the Profit & Loss Statement.
Yet, surprisingly, many growing Shopify, Amazon, and DTC brands are still recording shipping costs incorrectly.
The result?
β Inflated profit margins
β Incorrect product profitability
β Poor pricing decisions
β Tax inefficiencies
β Financial reports that investors cannot trust
Shipping is not just a delivery expense β it is a strategic accounting area that impacts profitability, cash flow, and business valuation.
At AccountEx BPO, we help eCommerce businesses build accurate shipping cost accounting structures by properly separating:
π¦ Freight-In (Inbound Shipping)
β Supplier freight
β Import costs & duties
β Port-to-warehouse transportation
β Inventory landed cost tracking
π Freight-Out (Outbound Shipping)
β Shopify shipping costs
β FedEx / UPS / USPS charges
β 3PL fulfillment fees
β Amazon FBA fulfillment costs
π³ Customer-Paid Shipping Revenue
β Separate shipping income tracking
β Accurate gross margin calculation
β True order-level profitability insights
With the right accounting setup, you can answer critical business questions:
β
Which products are actually profitable?
β
How much does fulfillment impact your margins?
β
Are your shipping charges covering your costs?

What will investors see during due diligence?
