Unfortunately they may not have big budgets.
So how does the small business owners stretch their shipping budget and get more value? Here are a few tips:
Build a Relationship
Establish an ongoing arrangement with a shipping company. This familiarizes them with you and your needs. If you develop a solid business relationship, they’re more likely to do a bit more for you and apply discounted rates.
Let Them Pick it Up
Running to the courier is time consuming, especially in the winter months. If the courier offers free pick-up, you MUST take advantage of that. Even if they charge for pickup, it’s probably less than the cost of taking you off-site for an hour.
If it keeps you in-house, instead of driving all over the GTA, fast shipping just became faster.
Try to Send in Bulk
Remember, you may get a discount for shipping in bulk, so if you can combine two shipping dates to get a discount, it may be worth waiting.
Designate One Person
Make liaising with the courier one person’s responsibility. Ensure they “own it.” Once they grasp all the details of a shipment they can become an expert and prepare orders much more quickly.
