Most of the time, the transportation cost has to be borne by the customer in business. When we buy from our vendor, the vendor sends the goods along with the copy of the invoice, while the cost of the logistics comes from the logistics provider. The transportation cost can be a fixed or variable depending on the goods to be delivered. The transportation cost can be paid in cash or bank check or any other payment methods.
