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.

"My daughter had moved to London and I was shipping her belongings to her: paintings, dishes, silverware, books, etc. I was very concerned about things arriving safely, especially the dishes and other breakable items. We were also concerned about expediting the customs process in London and making sure nothing was lost in a warehouse someplace. With Boston Pack and Ship managing the delivery, everything went extremely well. The people who came to pack were very professional and the people at the company were very knowledgeable about the process, including having contacts in London to get things through the customs process. And everything arrived safely. We couldn’t be more pleased with Boston Pack and Ship’s service."
