Stop paying for speed nobody asked for

Many stores ship everything with the same carrier and the same service. That’s simple, but it’s expensive.

For nearby zones, a ground service often arrives in the same window as an express one. Check your last 500 orders: destination zone, service used, cost, real delivery days. You’ll find orders where you paid for speed the customer never noticed.

Pick the cheapest service that meets your delivery promise for each zone. At Sugarwish, analyzing where the shipping money went and using that in supplier negotiations took cost per package from about $9 to about $7, while delivery got faster.
