Shipping Smarter: Avoid These Costly Mistakes
Shipping is an essential part of any business, but common mistakes can lead to delays, lost packages, and unhappy customers. Here are the top five shipping mistakes and how to avoid them.
1. Incorrect Address & Labeling
One of the biggest reasons for shipping delays is wrong addresses. Always double-check:
2. Choosing the Wrong Package Size
Using the wrong box size can lead to damaged goods or extra shipping costs.
3. Ignoring Insurance for High-Value Items
If you’re shipping electronics, jewelry, or fragile items, not getting shipping insurance is a risk. If a package is lost or damaged, you could lose hundreds or thousands in revenue.
4. Not Offering Multiple Delivery Options
Customers have different needs. Some want the cheapest option, while others want same-day delivery. If you only offer one shipping method, you might lose customers.
5. Forgetting to Track Shipments
Real-time tracking is essential for both businesses and customers. Without it, you have no way to check delivery status if a customer reports a missing package.
