There are no " offsets " to $ 1 of shipping income , unlike $ 1 of product sales when COGS and any volume - driven variable operating expense must be deducted . You might be left with .20-.30 of every $ 1 of product sales to cover fixed costs and provide an acceptable profit . But if you lose $ 1 of shipping income , you lose $ 1 of bottomline profit . Do n't squander it .
What may happen after losing shipping income ?
- You may have to file for bankruptcy .
 - You may lose income from the bottomline .
 - None of the above choices .
 - You will be financially secure .


You may lose income from the bottomline .
