Avoid These 5 Common (and Costly) Shipping Mistakes

Shipping mistakes are common and sometimes costly issues for businesses. The good news? They’re easy to avoid when you have the right freight partner.

At Big Post, we help businesses like yours avoid these 5 common shipping mistakes:

  1. Using a Single Carrier – relying on a single courier limits flexibility and leaves you vulnerable if things go wrong. Big Post gives you access to 22+ carrier options, so you always have a plan B (and C).
  2. No Shipping Offers = Missed Sales – offering free or discounted shipping can significantly boost your conversions. With Big Post’s Shopify and WordPress integrations, running seasonal promos is quick, easy, and helps increase sales.
  3. Incorrect Addresses? That’ll Cost You – wrong delivery details can mean redirection fees, delayed deliveries and unhappy customers. Big Post system includes real-time address validation, helping you deliver right the first time, every time.
  4. Still Guessing Parcel Sizes? – inaccurate measurements can lead to surprise surcharges, delays, and frustrated customers. Every parcel should be measured accurately, guessing should no longer be an option. In today’s shipping environment, small mistakes can lead to big costs over time.
  5. No Freight Insurance – lost or damaged parcels happen and without freight insurance, you’re left with the bill. Consider Big Post’s Freight Warranty service to help protect your goods in transit. Conditions apply.

Don’t let simple shipping mistakes cost you money and hold your business back. Partner with Big Post and ship smarter, faster, and with confidence.
