Hi, I’m trying to figure out what is the cost of the shipping in an order.  
I’m sending this query:

```auto
query Order {
    order(id: "T3JkZXI6NTYwMzA0MDk4") {
        data {
            id
            legacy_id
            order_number
            insurance
            insurance_amount
            currency
            allow_split
            tax_id
            tax_type
            shipping_lines {
                title
                carrier
                method
                price
            }
            shipments {
                id
                shipping_labels {
                    id
                    carrier
                    shipping_name
                    shipping_method
                    cost
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

and receive this response:

```auto

    "data": {
        "order": {
            "data": {
                "id": "T3JkZXI6NTYwMzA0MDk4",

                    "price": "3.60"

                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    },

                    "fields": {}
                }
            },
            "user_quota": {

                "increment_rate": 30
            }
        }
    }
}

```

In the response I have the entry data.order.data.shipping\_lines.price which is “3.60” and  
the cost entry (data.order.data.shipments.shipping\_labels.cost which is null.

I couldn’t find in the docs what both of these values means and what is the actual shipping cost  
If anyone can explain these I’ll be grateful

Thanks,  
Roy

Hello @RunRoyRun, Welcome to our Dev Community!

I checked your account, and I noticed that you cannot see those values (cost for the label) in the UI either. Please contact your 3PL to sort that out.

The price in the `shipping_lines` array comes from the storefront, and it is what was, in theory, charged to the end customer.

Have a great day!
