Minimize Shipping Costs
Practical ways to lower freight per unit.
Seven ways to save
- Pick up locally when you can.
- Choose dock delivery over residential.
- Combine several lots in one shipment.
- Buy fuller pallets: freight cost per unit falls as units rise.
- Provide accurate pallet weight and size to avoid carrier reclassification.
- Be ready for delivery so you avoid redelivery and storage fees.
- Ask for a truckload quote for three or more pallets.
Full pallets stacked in the warehouse
Freight is often 10 to 25 percent of the cost of a liquidation lot, so a small saving per pallet adds up quickly. Always include freight in your profit calculation.
