"Shipping cost" for a package or a product you purchased online. "Postage" for a letter, card, or envelope. We use "postage" for paper mail - something you could mail with stamps. "Freight" is used for commercial businesses. A business ordering g a large shipment of a product (like on a container ship) might use "freight cost."

'Postage' refers specifically to the sending of anything through the mail system. Despite what some others have said below, it can refer to parcels, not just letters, if they are sent through the post office. Sending parcels through the postal system is most commonly done in the UK and Australia (for example), whereas Americans quite often use the services of a delivery company, like FedEx. Using a courier is less common in Australia. Most websites include 'shipping/delivery', which covers all forms of transporting the package to the purchaser, whether through the mail or by courier. Freight is most commonly used for large items, or for manufacturers moving their goods around to get them to suppliers.

Got you! Very appreciated.

I would use postage when speaking about mail. Like letters and bills. I would say how much is the postage/stamp. Some may use postage but I honestly haven't heard that in a while. Everything nowadays is "How much is the shipping and handling"

Thank you, Tiffany. What about “postage”?
