It seems we can not get shipment cost of the order from API. Just to be sure is it true?  
When I hit /orders endpoint the outbound\_label\_charges returns null.  
{  
“allocations”: [  
{  
“shipment”: {  
“outbound\_label\_charges”: {  
“unit”: “null”,  
“value”: null,  
}  
}  
}  
]  
}

Hey @boby,  
These fields are only populated for orders that were shipped using Buy Shipping.
