How Small Businesses Save on Shipping Costs

July 18, 2013 by Nathan Miloszewski

Small business owners are always looking for ways to cut costs and one great way to help that effort is by taking a closer look at shipping processes and procedures.

VoIP Supply was recently featured in this Launch Grow Joy article by Andreea Ayers that includes the advice from over 30 other entrepreneurs who shared their experiences on how to save on shipping.

Here’s how VoIP Supply works to keep costs low:

Make your packing materials work for you. VoIP Supply reuses or recycles every box that comes in. Boxes in good shape get shipped back out and all the others are taken by a recycling company that pays us to pick them up so, we save on the cost of a cardboard dumpster. We haven’t purchased peanuts or bubble wrap in 5 years because they’re easily reused and paper void-fill is also very cost effective. Also, work on your box size versus product size because express shipping will charge based on dimensional weight (DIM) so, it’s a good idea to have a variety of box sizes on hand to reduce that cost.
