Edit: I ask that because I work for a company (very small) as a software engineer and we would never treat our clients like this. We are fair and quite for work, if the client changes what they want halfway then guess what, we are fair and just do the work.
Never lost a client and don’t need to advertise for new business because shocking as it seems doing good work actually gets you more work.
I don’t know if an software engineering company’s relationship to clients is very fitting to this example of non-commercial end-user consumerism of physical products. I mean, I agree with you, but I don’t get the feeling your company does many physically shipped sales and your company probably mostly works other small companies.
I don’t know. We are still selling a product, which is the service we provide.
For what it’s worth, we have clients of all sizes from family run to local transport authorities to one of the largest mobile network providers in Europe.
Just not everybody is out here trying to maximise their profits at every turn. Some people, myself included, are just happy to have enough in life and do good work.
On sites where people tend to sort by low price, keep shipping separate.
On sites where people buy based on emotion, give free shipping to improve conversion rates and close the deal.

Oh, hey, incidentally I now have an order of 265 dozen eggs on my front porch.
How in Lemmy hell you managed to make an “AI = Bad” post in this thread is beyond me.
Spoken like a man who doesn’t eat enough eggs
Or don’t hack peoples brains and just say hey here is product, you want it? Click here.
It’s a rat race. If you don’t, someone will and you lose.
Lose what?
