As advanced in a previous article, selecting the right
shipping partner is essential for an e-commerce
business and there are some factors that must be taken into consideration for
you to offer the best experience. Let’s have a look at more of these.
New technology
Handling the shipping process has become simpler thanks to technological
innovations. Companies have the opportunity to track shipments easily at every
stage of their journey. In turn, they will be able to provide clients accurate
and timely updates on where their goods are. Some of the tools that can be used
are video surveillance, real-time
scanning, tracking and other analytics tools to monitor their supply
chains. One advantage of this is that the business will not be liable for
delays, errors or damage after a product has been shipped.
Packaging
This might seem insignificant but it is an essential part of the shipping
process. This is because the packaging that you use will have an impact on
the funds disbursed. For instance, when it comes to ground shipments,
e-commerce businesses use a dimensional pricing model. This means that the
package’s weight and size will determine shipping costs.
Thus, you must select the right kind of packaging that will protect your goods
and not increase fees.
