Smart Small Business Best Practices: Outsourcing Shipping

March 11, 2016 by admin

If you operate a small or home based business, it’s very tempting to try to handle every job yourself. Entrepreneurship means wearing many hats, which often means it’s the exact same person handling everything from filing the annual tax return to dealing with raccoons in the dumpster.

That’s not always the best use of your time. As a business owner, you only get 24 hours in a day. There’s only so much that can get done. You want to make sure to concentrate your energy and effort on those activities that help your business grow, while delegating other tasks to the people best suited to handling them efficiently.

In the case of raccoons in the dumpster, you’ll want an animal control pro. But what about essential business tasks that occur regularly, like shipping products to your customers or essential documentation to clients and colleagues? Packing and shipping companies specialize in providing this type of essential shipping support to small businesses. Here’s what you need to know:

Be Clear on What You Need Done: Before you start your search for a Boston packaging and shipping company, it helps to have an accurate, objective understanding of what your shipping needs truly are. Knowing, at least in ball park terms, how many packages you’re shipping each week, where the majority of them go, how much they weigh, and any special shipping considerations (such as extremely fragile merchandise) will help you determine if the packing and shipping company you’re talking to is prepared to help you.

Logistics Matter: A very important consideration when choosing a Boston packaging and shipping company to work with is knowing they understand how vital your business is to you. Knowing every package will be packaged professionally and shipped promptly means your customers will be happy and you can enjoy peace of mind.

"Boston Pack and Ship shipped my mother’s cedar “hope” chest to my sister in Flagstaff, Arizona. The chest is 70 years old and a priceless family heirloom. As for Boston Pack and Ship’s handling of the chest, in the words of my sister, the job turned out ‘magnificently’. The delivery was ahead of projected schedule and the chest was packed with great care with exceptional “product safety” initiatives of Styrofoam, plastic, false bottoms cartons within the crate and above the crate; the legs of the chest were taped with great care…….truly product protection at its best!! Both my sister and I would refer Boston Pack and Ship without hesitation as the price, product safety, delivery and service are exceptional."
