I believe that generally speaking, shipping costs typically are considered a relatively small portion of overall costs for any given product - just going off discussions in Box by Levinson, in which he asserts that one of the paradigm shifts enabled by containerization which allows for globalization to emerge as a phenomenon is that container-based shipping drops the cost of shipping to a negligible fraction of the product being shipped.

Another thing to consider is that the cost to the shipping company goes down, which might just mean they get more margin to keep for themselves, if all the companies do that and don’t undercut each other.
