What’s the Difference Between Shipping Products to Wholesale Buyers and Shipping Products Directly to Consumers?

April 15, 2023 by admin

Retail Dive recently reported on how the COVID pandemic contributed to changes in product packaging. Because so many stores were closed, and people were staying at home far more than usual, there was a significant increase in online shopping. While much of this shopping happened at Amazon, there was also a noteworthy increase in customers shopping directly with their favorite brands.

Shipping products to wholesale buyers – in other words, sending products to be sold in stores – generally involves multiple pieces being packed within cardboard shipping boxes. These boxes can easily be palletized for shipping and easy handling. The individual product packaging can feature elements like see through plastic windows that allow customers to see what’s inside the box before buying. Packaging needs to be robust enough to handle the wear and tear inherent in the retail environment, but it can count on the additional protection cardboard shipping boxes provide while in transit.

Shipping products directly to customers is a whole different ballgame. Because both the shipper and the recipient want to keep costs down, there’s a great deal of interest in things like products that ship without any additional packaging, or products that can be shipped in polymailers, envelopes, or other less rigid packaging materials. Because there is not a cardboard shipping box containing these items, it’s important that the product packaging is much more robust and durable than it would be in the wholesale scenario.

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."
