Saving On Shipping

Shipping is an important
but often overlooked part of a business.
It takes time and money
and it is a big part of your customer’s experience.

Open Forum has a great article
on 13 ways to reduce shipping.

Nina Rodecker,
CEO and founder of
Tasty Clouds Cotton Candy Company,
provides this tip…

“State in your company’s terms of shipping
which days you ship products.
This way,
you can group your shipments together
and save time, money and
several trips to the shipping carrier.
Some carriers will pick up your shipments
at your location for a small fee,
so consider the time, labor, gas
and other factors
when comparing delivery vs. pickup costs.”

Shipping is an important task
and grouping tasks is efficient.
