We know that shipping costs are becoming more and more expensive and that these costs can take a financial toll on e-commerce businesses, especially if you’re just getting started. 

Shipping rates have increased due primarily to the pandemic. In fact, as the e-commerce industry boomed during the pandemic, shipping providers seized the opportunity to increase their prices and reap the benefits of the online shopping trends. 

Shipping costs involve many variables and often include hidden costs, but there are ways to reduce those.

1. Reduce Dimensions

In shipping, one size does not fit all! The shipping rate is highly dependent on the size and weight of the package. Weigh and measure your package, and keep in mind that anywhere you can trim down, will help. 

2. Find Discounted Supplies

Many couriers such as FedEx and UPS offer packaging supplies at a discounted rate, or even for free! Check out the shipping providers in your region and don’t forget to ask if they provide discounts on certain supplies.
