Small Businesses Ship Cheaper With EasyPost & Shipsaver
by Ian Novack
2020 has catapulted consumers into the ecommerce space. Small and medium businesses are now in a unique position to capitalize on this change and adapt to the new way of shopping. Thousands of businesses are entering the digital landscape due to closing of brick-and-mortar stores and are hoping to maximize on their new online storefronts.
A huge aspect of every ecommerce business is their shipping operation. The process of preparing shipments and getting them to your chosen carrier(s) can be tedious. And with the rise of free and/or expedited shipping expectations, shipping can be a large expense that eats at your profit margins. Not to mention, while in transit it’s possible for a parcel to be damaged, lost, or stolen — ruining the customer experience altogether.
Shipping is complicated. What carrier should you choose? What is an affordable shipping cost? Will the carrier reimburse you for damaged, lost, or stolen packages? If you’re shipping items on multiple marketplaces, how can you keep track of all your orders? EasyPost and Shipsaver are here to help.
