With knowledge, you can make better decisions around your product lines and ship them much more successfully. Some questions to ask yourself may be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember44\">1. What is the size and dead weight of your products? <em>Am I using the optimal shipping provider for these products?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember45\">2. How are the products packaged (internally &amp; externally)? <em>Will they arrive intact? Spend a little more on packaging for your benefit and your brand&#8217;s.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember46\">3. Does my shipping company\/service align to my brand? <em>If you&#8217;re having constant service issues, it&#8217;s time to pay a little more with a better option to keep customer&#8217;s happy and get positive reviews.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember47\">4. How many transport companies are there that I can work with for my product\/s? <em>When sourcing products or new lines, always research the shipping options available first&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember48\">5. What are transport company\u2019s freight profile for my product\/s (they all have one)? <em>Make sure there aren&#8217;t limits on weight\/size or how many large\/bulky items you can ship with them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember49\">6. When is a Tail Lift Truck service required? <em>The industry is becoming stricter with the maximum weight a driver can carry.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember50\">7. Are the product\/s fragile? <em>Packaging and the right transport company is key here&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember51\">8. If you already have a shipping provider, does their freight profile match your product\/s? <em>If you&#8217;re receiving ongoing damages or high surcharges, it&#8217;s time to review your shipping.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember52\">9. If you decide to sell fragile items, how many extra\u2019s do we need to cover possible damages? <em>Damage will occur from time to time, have you factored in a damage percentage to your business plan?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember53\">10. Does the product contain batteries? <em>Dangerous goods can mean extra costs &amp; more paperwork when shipping.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember55\">Contact us today for a competitive strategy on your particular products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember57\"><a href=\"mailto:sales@smartsend.com.au\">sales@smartsend.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember58\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsend.com.au\/\">Smartsend.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knowledge is power.
