Should You Hire An Employee to Do Your Shipping?

October 17, 2018 by admin

As your business grows, you’re forced to make many decisions. One of the toughest choices is knowing when it’s the right time to hire an employee. Hiring an employee is a big deal. There’s a lot of expenses and paperwork involved, as well as the need to have space for this individual to do their job. Payroll and insurance costs are only the beginning. When it comes to shipping, an employee is going to need, at a minimum, a counter or table to work at, cardboard shipping cartons, packing materials, a computer, and more. If you don’t have this space in your existing facility, you’re going to need to move to a larger space, which can mean increased rent, heating and operational costs.

If you’re thinking of hiring an employee to do your shipping, you should know there are other small business shipping solutions. One of these solutions is to work with a company like ours, that specializes in packing and shipping. Our teams are fast, efficient, and professional. We understand that having shipments arriving on time and looking great is critical – that’s what it takes to keep today’s customers happy. We do all the work for you, often for far less than it would cost to maintain a shipping department of the appropriate size yourself.

One of the reasons it makes sense for smaller companies to choose a small business shipping solution is that they have uneven sales volumes. Busy periods can be followed by times when you have few, if any sales. If you hire an employee to handle all of your shipping in house, you have to pay them even when they have little to no work to do. Working with a small business shipping solution means you pay only for the services you actually need.

What does this mean for your small business? If you’ve got questions, give us a call. We’ll be happy to help you figure out what your best shipping options are.

"We could not believe how well packed our Windsor chair and Sheraton bench were packed as they had to travel from Cape Cod, Ma to a suburb of San Francisco in Ca. They arrived in perfect condition and what would you expect? Each piece was packed in their own box, wrapped completely, and anchored so they could not move inside their respective boxes. Then, Boston Ship and Pack secured the boxes on a wooden pallet. The Dish Pack with family heirlooms was packed as carefully by the company's professional packers. All our treasures arrived safely. This is not the first time we have used Boston Pack and Ship and it won't be the last. Thanks Bill and your team for making our move worry-free. You spent a lot of time with us planning all the details of our sudden move. We can never thank you enough."
