How much should I increase my prices to account for rising shipping costs when I offer free shipping on originals?

If you’re already successfully selling products and need to cover increased shipping costs, a price increase of about 10-15 dollars per product is reasonable. For example, if you’re selling a piece at $55, increasing it to around $70 would cover the shipping increases and keep you profitable. When you’ve already validated that the market wants your product through previous sales, increasing pricing is completely acceptable. You can explain to your customers that there’s a price increase, but it’s because you’re including shipping and shipping costs have become more expensive.
