At Tentiry, we’ve eliminated this pain point: Order rooftop tent with free shipping worldwide and zero hidden costs. As a factory-direct manufacturer from Yiwu, China, we’ll reveal how we ship premium rooftop tents (RTTs) to your doorstep with 100% fee transparency.
The True Cost of Rooftop Tent Shipping
Industry data exposes rampant hidden fees:
-
Average “free shipping” RTTs add $237 in “handling fees” (Global Logistics Report 2024)
-
68% of buyers face unexpected import taxes at delivery (Overland Consumer Survey)
“True free shipping means DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) – not just ‘free’ to the port,” states Lena Müller, Supply Chain Director at FreightRight Global.

Why Competitors Hide Shipping Fees
Traditional retailers add markups because:
-
Multi-Warehouse Chaos: Stock moved between 3+ facilities
-
Broker Fees: 3rd parties handling customs
-
Last-Mile Surcharges: Rural/remote area penalties
“Many ‘free shipping’ offers are loss leaders. Fees appear later,” warns David Chen, Logistics Analyst at Supply Chain Digest.
