Tips to Save
Step 1
Whenever Possible, Use Ground Shipping
Must Your Packages Be Delivered Within 24 Hours? If Not, Send By Ground Shipping Whenever Possible.
Step 2
Include All Surcharges For Special Shipments In Your Rates
If Your Customers Are Paying For Shipping, Make Sure All Supplementary Costs Are Included So You Don’t End Up Paying For Them.
If You Have A Flat Rate For Shipping, Make Sure To Include Surcharges For International Or Expedited Shipments, And Indicate Them As Being At The Customer’s Expense. Check For Fuel Surcharges, Signature Upon Delivery Fees, Or Weekend Delivery Fees Before Making Your Customers Pay.
Step 3
Optimize Your Packaging
The Bulkier And Heavier Your Package Is, The More Your Shipping Costs Increase. Your Objective Should Be To Package Your Products In The Most Efficient And Compact Way Possible Without Skimping On Protection.
Step 4
Save Your Packaging Material
Why Not Save The Packaging That Came With The Products You Ordered And Reuse It To Ship Your Orders? Save The Boxes, Bubble Wrap, And Packing Material That You Could Reuse. As An Additional Bonus, It’s A Small Contribution To The Environment!
Step 5
Purchase Your Packing Material In Bulk
Xpress For Less makes it easy to track your shipment. Once you’re logged in to your account, go to your shipment log and click on the tracking number. A window will appear with all your shipment information and the tracking details making it easy for you to know where and when your shipment will be delivered.
Step 6
Make Sure To Follow Your Carrier’s Packaging Guidelines
Carriers Define The Standard For Package Sizes, So Make Sure You Stay Within Those Limits. To Avoid Surcharges, Ask Your Carrier If They Can Supply You With Their Own Packaging And If So, Calculate To See If It Would Be Advantageous For You To Use It.
