The mistake
The shopper only discovers shipping cost at the final moment.
For food gifts stores, this often matters because shoppers are already checking freshness, delivery timing, and recipient issues before they commit.

The safer fix
Explain where shipping is calculated and avoid implying free shipping if it is not guaranteed.
Keep the copy truthful, specific, and consistent with the footer policy pages.
Copy-safe replacement
Shipping cost, if applicable, is shown before checkout is completed. Review the order summary before payment.
Fix checklist
- Move the answer near the doubt. Do not hide the trust answer only in a long legal page.
- Match the policy trail. Product page, FAQ, footer links, and post-purchase copy should not contradict each other.
- Remove risky claims. Do not invent customer counts, reviews, guarantees, certifications, payment availability, or delivery certainty.
- Keep support reachable. If the buyer needs help, point them to support@starterfixsprint.com and explain what information helps.
