The purpose of flat rate shipping is to offer to customers a way of standardizing their shipping costs, controlling for the large variations that can occur due to dimensional weight, shipping distance, and seasonal peaks. This makes flat rate shipping a highly useful shipping method for online sellers who are looking to optimize their shipping strategy.
