The preferences are dictated by many factors and the best solution is the maximum personalization of the collection method for each individual shipment.

How many packages per month?

This is the first question that we can expect from the courier company, because just like us, they care about cost optimization. It depends on the estimated number of parcels how willing it will be to accept our terms. Let’s give real values, to successfully complete the negotiations and avoid misunderstandings during cooperation.

In a situation where we are unable to provide an offer the number of parcels that would suit our contractor, it may happen that he will offer excessive prices or refuse to cooperate at all, because this scope of cooperation will be of little benefit from his perspective. This is a common problem for smaller stores, which, wanting to professionally deliver their products to customers, often face a challenge finding finding a professional courier company that can undertake this task.

The PerfectSolution in this case, it is necessary to use the services of intermediaries, i.e. companies associating several online stores, but treated by courier companies as one customer. Due to the fact that brokers have a wider field of negotiation, they receive better rates from courier companies, which also allows you to significantly reduce the store’s expenses. The only difference is that the broker will give you a collective invoice to be paid in advance, which in many cases may turn out to be a more convenient solution than paying for individual parcels only after their delivery.

The price for parcel delivery is directly influenced by factors such as, its weight, size and possible fragile contents or services to be delivered. Of course, the larger (or less standard) dimensions and the heavier and more cautious a shipment, the more expensive it will be to deliver.

Another topic is the shipping of goods on pallets. While some companies are moving away from this type of shipment, others specialize in it. If the use of pallets is advisable due to the products we offer, we will agree with the courier the exact terms of this service.

Therefore, let’s analyze the price list of the courier company in terms of our goods. By estimating how many types of parcels and in what quantities we will be shipping, we will be able to choose those companies that best suit our strategy, and therefore those with which cooperation will be the most beneficial.
