### The Average Cost of Shipping

Transportation costs for bulk olive oil can range anywhere from $75 (across town) to $600 (across the country) per pallet. Think about where your olive oil will be shipping from (also known as the FOB point) when you’re determining a delivered cost.

Some suppliers will take care of all of the shipping arrangements for you. Because they do so many deliveries, freight carriers will often charge them a lower cost than an individual can find. You can coordinate an order pick up from most suppliers’ warehouses as well.

### Avoid Factors That Increase Shipping Cost

Any special delivery arrangements may cost extra. Here are the most common that you should try to avoid if possible.

- Lift Gate (lowers the pallet from the back of the truck, if no fork lift/loading dock available) 
- Delivery Appointment 
- Specific Delivery Hours 
- Residential or Home location
