We set an option for that where you can add an amount value to reduce or increase the shipping cost. The value can be either a number or a percentage, positive for handling fees and negative for discounts.

Here is another feature to give you or your customers a peace of mind. You can enable the Extra Cover option in case your item’s lost or damaged in transition, you should be qualified for compensation.
