During transport of car parts, damages to items can occur easily. Items may get lost during transport or stolen after delivery. Shipping protection helps cover the costs these incidents incur and resolve issues to help get auto parts to the buyer. <\/span><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/boxes-ready-to-ship-e1680130867871.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;boxes for shipping auto parts&#8221; title_text=&#8221;boxes-ready-to-ship&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping Protection for the Parts Department<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing shipping protection in your parts department can greatly benefit the dealership. The online auto parts market is rapidly expanding, meaning more and more vehicle owners are purchasing car parts online. As a result, auto parts sales are becoming the number one source of revenue at the dealership.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that parts buyers will be one of the most important customer segments for the dealership. Securing their business and turning them into repeat customers is essential. One way to do that is to provide protection for shipped car parts and accessories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As vehicle owners continue to keep their older cars for longer, buying older vehicle parts is more important to them than ever. These older vehicle parts are more difficult to find, meaning that the delivery of these parts is essential to online auto parts buyers. When parts orders are damaged, get lost in transport, or result in theft, it negatively impacts these customers on a much deeper level. Shipping protection helps to alleviate this problem. <\/span><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Providing Parts Buyers Shipping Protection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may seem like the cost of shipping protection would cut into profitability at the parts department, it has various benefits. <\/span><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||43px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Protect packages from theft, loss, and damage:<\/strong> Provide protection for shipments to cut down on replacement costs. \u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||43px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Boost buyer confidence:<\/strong> Give parts buyers confidence that they\u2019ll receive their orders one way or another. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||43px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Positive customer experience:<\/strong> Provide customers with a positive shopping experience that builds loyalty.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||43px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Save time and money resolving issues:<\/strong> Cut down on costs and time it takes for re-shipments and shipment tracking on your end. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||43px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Protect dealership reputation:<\/strong> Maintain a strong brand image and reputation for your dealership that\u2019s practically free advertising. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/shipping-mopar-fragile-box.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;shipping-mopar-fragile-box&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is Auto Parts Shipping Protection Worth It?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many dealers worry that the potential benefits of shipping protection for car parts don\u2019t outweigh the costs. However, losses generated from unprotected shipments can end up crippling a dealership\u2019s sales. As eCommerce transactions have increased over the past few years, so has the number of packages that have been reported lost or damaged in transit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.security.org\/package-theft\/annual-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2022 Package Theft Annual Report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, last year saw more than $2.4 billion in losses due to theft, affecting more than 49 million Americans. On the other hand, 10.7% of returned items in 2022 were found to be fraudulent, costing retailers<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nrf.com\/media-center\/press-releases\/2022-retail-returns-rate-remains-flat-816-billion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$22.8 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Why were these losses so high?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When packages are damaged, lost, or stolen, the ultimate decision-making power is left to the parts buyer. They can either decide to re-order the part directly from your dealership and hope for the best, get refunded, or go directly to a competitor to get the exact part for a lower price. Consumers with a lousy shipping and delivery experience are more likely to leave bad reviews and go to a competing auto parts seller.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 60% of businesses cite experiencing increased customer effort as a top factor leading to poor customer satisfaction rates. If claims and support processes are not frictionless for the end buyer, they will quickly pivot to making purchases from another business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping incidents like these impact the buyer experience and result in low customer satisfaction, poor brand loyalty, and high customer churn rates that send them straight to your competitors. <\/span><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Auto Parts Shipping Protection Enhances Buyer Experience\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be truly competitive in selling parts online, retailers must invest time and money into making the buyer experience as frictionless as possible. Shipping protection helps achieve this by reducing the impact of making a second purchasing decision after a shipment incident.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose a customer knows before making a purchase that their order will be eligible for a refund, a discounted shipping price, or be easily replaced. In that case, they\u2019re more likely to go through with the purchase than without those assurances. It gives them confidence that they\u2019ll still get their part order if any issues arise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building buyer confidence is an essential part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolutionparts.com\/blog\/creative-shipping-tricks\/\">customer shopping experience<\/a>.
