There are so many heavy, oversized, odd-shaped, and hazardous auto parts to ship that it ends up one of the biggest expenses when selling online.<\/p>\n<p>You certainly can\u2019t eat that shipping charge yourself, since it will cut into your hard-earned profits. And you shouldn\u2019t be overcharging your customers for shipping, either. If you could make shipping just overall cheaper, then everyone would win\u2026<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Even if you have the customer pay the shipping charge, you should still be paying attention. Seriously\u2014cheaper shipping overall helps everyone. <a href=\"https:\/\/shiphawk.com\/blog\/online-buyers-abandon-shopping-carts\/\">Shipping charges are one of the top reasons for a customer to abandon their purchase,<\/a> so you\u2019ll cost yourself sales if you\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t overpay for shipping. Don\u2019t make your customer overpay for shipping. Save <em>everyone<\/em> some money by following these tips:<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><strong>1. Look into shipping managers.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>If you\u2019re selling over 50k a month in online parts sales, it\u2019s time to consider getting a shipping manager. It\u2019ll save you a <em>ton<\/em> of time by handling all the dirty details, and time is money when it comes to business. A shipping manager will usually pay for itself in the first month.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest plus of shipping management software: time and labor costs. All of your order details\u2014even across multiple channels\u2014are available in one spot, and most of it can be automated. In addition, most shipping managers also make it easy to comparison shop for the best shipping price. You can even run reports to help you optimize the entire process.<\/p>\n<p>Just make sure the software integrates with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/sell-auto-parts-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">your parts eCommerce solution<\/a> before you purcahse it. Shipping managers almost always offer a free trial, so try it out!<\/p>\n<p><strong>PS: RevolutionParts integrates with ShipStation, ShipWorks, and ShipRush Web.<\/strong> We also have a simple shipping manager built into the RevolutionParts platform, allowing you to print shipping labels straight from the order form.<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><strong>2. Narrow your focus.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>With so many shipping carriers out there (USPS, UPS, and FedEx, among others), you really can fight to find the cheapest price. But usually the difference between carriers is only a few dollars, so while it helps, it\u2019s not a life changing difference.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, you\u2019re better off sticking to 1 or 2 carriers. We recommend USPS + one other of your choice. Using two shipping carriers removes a lot of complication from your fulfillment process, and usually you can quality for volume discounts.<\/p>\n<p>You might be able to negotiate for better rates by calling their 800 number. Even if you think your parts store is too small, you won\u2019t know for sure until you try!<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><strong>3. List options as \u201cstandard\u201d on your parts website.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to specify which carrier you plan on using on the order page. Most customers don\u2019t care whether their part comes through USPS, UPS, or FedEx\u2014it\u2019s all the same to them, as long as their parts arrive undamaged and in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<p>When listing the shipping options, keep it generic. Offer options like &#8220;standard ground shipping&#8221;, &#8220;standard 2-day&#8221;, &#8220;standard overnight&#8221;, and so on. This way you\u2019re not locked into shipping with a specific carrier. After the order is placed, YOU can choose to ship with the carrier that offers the best price.<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><strong>4. Double check weight and dimensions.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>How many thousands of parts are listed in your online catalog? We strive for accuracy, but sometimes data is missing. It only takes a second to glance at the weight and dimension information before you send the order through. Incorrect calculations won\u2019t end well for anyone!<\/p>\n<p>Most successful dealers on the RevolutionParts platform tell us that double checking the catalog info is part of their shipping process. The employee taking care of shipping for the day will ALWAYS check and update the catalog info if necessary. It&#8217;s especially worth the added seconds because once you update the RevolutionParts catalog, incorrect W&amp;D for that part won&#8217;t ever bother you again.<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><strong>5. Have a variety of box sizes available.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>If you\u2019re shipping a tiny spark plug in a huge 2-foot box, you\u2019re doing something wrong. The box you use for packaging should be as close to the part size as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Dimensions can make a huge difference when it comes to paying for shipping. It\u2019s worth having a variety of box sizes on hand. The more you sell online, the more you\u2019ll get an idea for which boxes sizes you use the most. This saves you money, but it also protects your part. You don\u2019t want anything rattling around during shipment!<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you can even get boxes free of charge! Through UPS and USPS, certain boxes are free and you only pay for the shipping itself. Granted, they tend to be on the smaller size so you can\u2019t use the free boxes for everything. But it can still make a difference!<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><strong>6. Don\u2019t overpay for packing materials.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Don\u2019t buy retail when it comes to boxes and packing materials\u2014buy straight from a manufacturer. When you purchase in bulk, you can save yourself a lot on packaging. Boxes can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shippingsupply.com\/p-236-12-x-12-x-12-corrugated-boxes.aspx\">as low as $0.79 each<\/a>, depending on the size you choose.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you buy online or drive to your nearest manufacturer, you can save a lot of money when boxes are less than a dollar each.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 425px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"shipping_methods.png\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/1936297\/blog-files\/shipping_methods.png\" alt=\"shipping_methods.png\" width=\"425\" data-constrained=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shippingsupply.com\/\">ShippingSupply.com<\/a> offers a ton of options for any shipping needs you have. They have countless box size options, hazardous material boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and more.<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><strong>7. Use the original box for shipping, in certain cases.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Sometimes the original manufacturer box works just fine for shipment, which saves you the trouble and cost of repackaging it. Wrap it in Kraft paper or ship it as-is. This\u00a0doesn&#8217;t just save time. It also <a href=\"\/how-to-ship-more-auto-parts-with-less-staff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reduces the overall time your team spends on shipping<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>This technique <em>doesn\u2019t<\/em> work for everything. Expensive and fragile parts should be repackaged for the extra padding, so they aren\u2019t damaged during shipment.<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><strong>8. Don\u2019t skimp out when you need to.<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>For expensive and fragile items, make sure everything is properly packaged. Use enough packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or whatever else you prefer to ensure that the product arrives safely.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s usually best to <em>overuse<\/em> packing materials. Even though it\u2019ll be an additional upfront cost to use more bubble wrap than necessary, it\u2019s worth your investment. If the auto part arrives to the customer damaged, <em>you<\/em> will be held responsible. The added safety of bubble wrap or packing peanuts will protect you against the huge loss of a returned order and a damaged product.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, shipping prices are\u00a0going to add some complication to the selling process, and you won\u2019t always get the cheapest option. But these practices will become habit and then saving money on shipping will be second nature.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/ebook\/parts_managers_guide_to_selling_more_auto_parts?utm_source=revparts&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=RPblog&amp;utm_content=download-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32154 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sell-More-Auto-Parts-with-Less-Staff.png\" alt=\"Sell More Auto Parts with Less Staff - ebook download\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sell-More-Auto-Parts-with-Less-Staff.png 700w, https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sell-More-Auto-Parts-with-Less-Staff-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Sell-More-Auto-Parts-with-Less-Staff-80x34.png 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Other eCommerce industries\u00a0have it easy when it comes to shipping, but not the parts department.
