Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the word 'frete' is often used instead of 'envio' when talking about shipping costs. 'Grátis' is informal and very common in marketing; for a more formal tone you can use 'gratuito'. Also, remember that free‑shipping offers are usually limited to certain regions or order values, so you may need to add qualifiers in a real‑world context.
