”Shipping costs<\/strong> are one of the biggest expenses<\/strong> for many small businesses,<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

but resourceful entrepreneurs are finding ways to reduce<\/strong> the sting.<\/span><\/em>”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– Jane Porter<\/span> (Entrepreneur <\/span><\/a><\/span>writer & editor)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, you have to do your best to keep your packaging as light and small as possible in order to save your shipping costs and packaging costs from eating away your margin.<\/span>

There are 5 ways<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>which can be effective to cut down the businesses’ costs:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Getting the right package size<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

    It is important to get the right package size for your parcel because it helps you to save more! Bubble Wrap<\/i> is an ideal wrapping option as it is cheap and it is environmental friendly because it is recyclable. Bubble Wrap<\/i> is recommended for parcel packaging as it reduces the number of returns caused by damage. Your products should fit the shipping box safely and securely to ensure it does not migrate during transportation. Damaged goods during shipment will cost you money on returns and refunds as well as creating customer dissatisfaction.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Compare multiple carriers, s<\/span>hip using your favourite carrier <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

    No single carrier is the most cost effective in all categories. Every carrier has it niche. Many businesses don’t have the time or resources to scour the marketplace to look for the best deals.

  3. \n

    Negotiate for better rates<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

On average<\/span>\u00a0EasyParcel.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0is<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> saving its <\/span><\/span><\/span>customers with over<\/span> 20% – 30%<\/span> <\/strong>of their freight bills.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Reuse boxes <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

    There are a lot of products that come in boxes which can be reused.<\/span> Remove <\/i><\/span>all labels if you are reusing a box and make sure that the box is not worn and in good shape. You can as well reuse the box by <\/span>turning the box inside out. <\/i><\/span>Again, you have to<\/span> remove<\/i><\/span> the labels even if you are using as inside packaging. If the box breaks open or outside label falls off, your items could end up delivered to the wrong place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
