With the variety of sizes and shapes in the average dealer\u2019s auto parts inventory, it\u2019s important to know what size containers you need and what additional packing materials you need to ensure products don\u2019t break during transit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Remember to use packing materials designed to help fill the space between the item and the container when shipping breakable items. Use enough to reduce the risk of parts breaking or cracking. When shipping multiple items in one package, wrap individual items to prevent them from breaking or getting stuck together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Security isn\u2019t the factor that should impact your packaging. You should also use your packaging to reinforce your dealership’s or OEM\u2019s brand image. Make your packaging easily recognizable to your customers. Use packaging inserts, pamphlets, and even standard thank-you cards to reinforce your brand image in your customers\u2019 minds.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Good Packaging Matters<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Good packaging helps you keep your brand image consistent across all stages of the customer buying experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The right packaging in your shipping strategy can help:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||43px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”34px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Not all auto parts meet the same shipping criteria. Some require additional steps, specific transportation methods, and unique packaging. This is especially true for larger, heavier parts like engines and transmissions. Larger auto parts are more expensive to ship, so you need to have an air-tight shipping system to ensure that they get delivered on time and without damage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Engines & Transmissions<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Engines and transmissions can be shipped in one of two ways: on a pallet or in a crate. Both options can be costly, so you must determine which shipping method fits your budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Depending on the part\u2019s classification, one option will be slightly cheaper. Crates are often less expensive than pallets, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re the best option for you, depending on the dimensions and weight of the engine or transmission you\u2019re shipping. Always compare both options and consider the pros and cons carefully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n *It\u2019s important to note that not all shipping companies will ship an engine or transmission that isn\u2019t packaged in a crate due to liability policies.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”34px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Fast and easy shipping is one of the biggest contributors to buying decisions among today\u2019s consumers. Offering convenient delivery options is a crucial component of your shipping strategy. Overnight and same-day delivery are two consumers’ most popular options.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Same-Day Delivery for Local Orders<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Same-day delivery is an excellent way to grow your parts business at the local level. With same-day delivery, like RP’s Same-Day Delivery<\/a>, you can deliver parts to customers in your area in as little as an hour when you take advantage of crowdsourced drivers. This can be a great option for your wholesale customers. The faster they can get the parts they need for repairs, the more likely they will become repeat buyers at your dealership.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Profiting Off Shipping<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Many dealers hesitate to ship parts and accessories because they\u2019re concerned about the overhead costs of shipping. Selling parts online at lower prices might make it difficult to turn a profit, especially with high shipping costs. However, with the right strategy, you can actually profit from shipping auto parts<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"use](\"https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/branded-packaging-for-shipping.png\")
