Outsourcing Shipping for Ecommerce

No matter how much you're shipping, you can lighten the load to save time and money. There are multiple ways to outsource parts of your fulfillment, but first ask yourself:

How much time are you spending on shipping?
How much are you paying for postage on each package?
How much are you spending on storing your products and packaging?
And finally, how many packages are you shipping? (volume)

Learn how pickups, shipping from a warehouse, using a 3PL, and dropshipping can affect how much you spend on time, postage, storage, and your quality control.
