Ship and Save Money Doing It

Posted on by jtredway

Many smaller companies are reluctant to include shipping in their offer and only deliver locally. The truth, however, is that they are missing a huge opportunity to earn more cash and are limiting themselves by not working with more distant customers. These customers are just as eager put money in your hands as any other.

Finding a Shipping Service that Matches Your Needs

A quick web search should show you who offers shipping services in your area. Try using keywords such as: shipping, crate, freight or international to narrow your search a little more.

The trick is in finding a good shipping company lies in comparing what each of them offers. While shipping also saves a lot of time for the company or individual waiting for a delivery, you shouldn’t rush finding the perfect shipping company. Instead, take some time to read a couple of reviews and visit a comparison site to see what’s on offer.

Also, make sure you are prepared for any eventuality by examining what each shipper offers in terms of insurance coverage and claim processing. That way, you will know what your options are in case of damage or loss of goods.

Almost Everything Can Be Shipped

Nearly everything, from diamonds to airplane parts can be shipped and you can do this at a reasonable price.

When it comes to shipping diamonds and other precious goods, look for a shipping solution that offers an insurance if you are sending the package through certified mail. You have to be very careful when shipping pricey goods, so especially look for insurance pertaining to your country.

If you are looking to ship something of a larger than regular size, be prepared to use freight shipping, as companies such as FedEx and USPS have a limit on weight. Again, freight shipping companies shouldn’t be too hard to find following a quick web search.

Finally, some items can’t fit into a normal box or container. For a small fee, you can simply take the item to your nearest shipping center and have it packaged securely for you. You can save some money by making your own package with some leftover cardboard and shipping tape (use extra-strong type), but there’s often no guarantees such a “package” will hold during transport.
