Shipping costs add up. Here are tips to cut down on the cost of boxes, tape, and labels.
How to Save Money on Shipping Supplies
Every penny counts. Here is how to reduce your supply costs.
Buy in Bulk
This is obvious but effective. Buying 1000 boxes is much cheaper per unit than buying 50.
Reuse Packaging
If you receive inventory in good boxes, reuse them! Just make sure to remove old labels.
Free Supplies
Carriers like USPS, UPS, and FedEx often provide free boxes and labels for specific service levels. Check their websites.
Right-Size Your Packaging
Don't use a huge box for a small item. You pay for the dimensional weight, and you waste money on filler material.
