Liquidity and spread
SHIB has deep liquidity on the large exchanges, so slippage is small at retail size. Your all in cost is the fee plus the spread, and the spread mostly matters on thinner venues, so weigh both rather than the headline fee alone.
Do not forget the withdrawal fee
SHIB is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, so its on-chain withdrawal fee tracks Ethereum gas and can be several dollars when the network is busy. Because the token price is tiny, always check that fixed withdrawal fee against the size of your amount, since a flat fee can eat a large share of a small transfer.
