How to save on your next shipment?

Posted on Apr 12, 2017 9:54:31 AM by freightcomblog

The other day I went out to eat with one of my friends. We were in the mood for… actually we didn’t know what we were in the mood for, so we figured why not just go for a walk and pick a random restaurant.

After walking a few blocks, we stumbled on this amazing Italian restaurant. It had beautiful high ceilings, and gorgeous architecture with dim lighting. It looked pretty epic, plus it was super crowded, so we figured it must have good food.

We were guided to our table and then the waiting game began. No one came to take our order.

Then we waited some more.

We saw one of the waitresses running around, waiting on ten tables. We watched the other
table as they received their delicious food. We were completely ignored.

Ten minutes went by, which lead to twenty and thirty minutes, and still no wait staff came by to help us.

So, we left.

The food looked so good and smelled delicious, but without any staff to assist us, how can we eat there. It was disappointing.

Okay, so you must be wondering what my terrible dinner experience has to do with shipping.

Well, it’s simple.

No matter how great a business’ product is, if the delivery is off, nothing else matters.

It doesn’t matter how many people want your product if you can’t ship it to them properly.

Back track to this restaurant, no matter how good the food looked, how amazing it smelled, the service was so bad that we left. Let’s take ecommerce for example, if you don’t have the right shipping methods in place, then you can lose the sale and maybe the customer. If your customer has to end up paying an arm and a leg for shipping, then it’s going to ruin your pricing strategy, as well as, leading to abandon shopping carts.

So you’re confused, you don’t know who you can count on for your shipping.

Well, “you can count on me like 1, 2, 3!”
