After you are done with uploading products, set up payment gateway, the next step that you need to do is set up the shipping for your products in Magento. There are totally six type of shipping that are supported in Magento. They are:

• Flat rate: Allows you to set up the fixed rate per each products or per package. You can also allow free shipping if you want.
• Table rate: Allows you to set up the shipping fee according to the weight of the products that you have entered into the system
• Free shipping: Set up the free shipping condition. For example, if you want a free shipping for orders larger than $60, you can do so right here.

• FedEx and DHL: The same with USPS and UPS
