PrettyLitter charges a $1.99 handling fee on orders under $25 to help cover the operational costs involved in fulfilling smaller orders. For orders that are priced below this threshold, the costs associated with packaging, processing, and shipping can make them less cost-effective to fulfill. The handling fee helps PrettyLitter offset those costs and ensures they can maintain affordable pricing while still delivering quality service, even on smaller orders.

This fee helps cover expenses such as labor, packaging materials, and transportation for orders that might not otherwise be profitable to ship without adding this small surcharge.

For bulk orders ranging from 8 to 24 bags, PrettyLitter offers a different shipping structure to account for the larger volume of products being shipped. Larger orders typically incur higher shipping costs, but since the customer is purchasing more, PrettyLitter can offset the higher logistics costs by offering a standard shipping fee. The fee is designed to be fair and transparent, taking into account the increased volume and weight of bulk orders, while also ensuring that PrettyLitter can continue to offer competitive pricing for customers purchasing in bulk.

By separating the handling fee for smaller orders and the shipping fee for bulk orders, PrettyLitter balances the need to cover operational costs with the goal of providing cost-effective solutions for both small and large orders. This tiered approach allows PrettyLitter to provide customers with flexibility while ensuring that the business remains sustainable.
