Finding affordable, quality, and durable shipping options can seem daunting if you aren’t sure where to start. Thankfully there’s no need to sacrifice quality, durability, or packaging time in order to save on cost.
So let's talk tips and tricks for creating quality shipping experience for your customers that is both affordable and presentable!
The overall size and weight of your package along with shipping destination are the main factors when determining your shipping rate.
The cost of shipping can quickly add up when packing with filler materials like bubble wrap and packing peanuts. Not only are they expensive but they often times require the need for large boxes in order to both fit your products and enough bubble wrap or packing peanuts to protect them.
If you're not careful, you may end up with an overall package size and weight that costs you more to ship compared to using a Flush box.
At Flush, we do packaging a bit differently than most! All of our shipping boxes are designed to safely ship without the need for filler materials like bubble wrap or packing peanuts. Each shipping box is designed around specific vessel dimensions to hold the vessel securely while shipping. So long as you’re using the vessel sizing that the box is created for, they’ll save you considerable fulfillment time and dramatically lessen the likelihood of breakage while shipping!
Boxes by nature are large/bulky and carry higher shipping costs than a lot of smaller and lighter items. As such, unfortunately buying boxes from some companies can end up becoming impractically expensive.
To address this, We place particular emphasis on packing every order as efficiently as possible. This helps keep dimensional weight and shipping costs at an absolute minimum.
Shipping costs per unit are also typically highest at the lower tier volumes and decrease as a percentage of cart value/unit cost if you're able to stock up!
We’re all creatures of habit. However, many e-commerce brands tend to get stuck in a cycle of using the same shipping carrier, unaware that switching carriers may save them money. Different carriers have various pricing structures, service levels, and geographic coverage. By comparing rates and services, you can find the most cost-effective option for each shipment.
Let's explore some popular carriers and their potential advantages:
UPS and FedEx can be quite competitive when it comes to larger packages that aren't necessarily a good fit for USPS. This is where it makes sense to consider both simultaneously.
You may also want to consider other aspects of each carrier - like customer service and how they handle missing packages and claims. In our experience, it's best to reach out to your local UPS and/or FedEx representative to learn more and begin developing a relationship with them.
Shipping costs can significantly impact your budget, but by employing strategic approaches, you can successfully reduce expenses while maintaining efficient delivery services. Understanding dimensional weight and optimizing packaging practices can lead to substantial savings over time. Additionally, exploring various carriers, such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, allows you to find the best deals for different types of shipments. By implementing these money-saving strategies, you can elevate your shipping process and improve customer satisfaction while positively affecting your bottom line.
