In some cases, the cost of a heavier parcel with a smaller size could be the same as a lighter parcel but with a larger size. Speaking to the shipping partner thus becomes necessary to understand how they charge you based on weight and size.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Packing Materials:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fragile, sensitive, and perishable products will require extra packaging materials to keep the product inside intact. Your shipping partner will be able to tell you about the exact price in case any extra packaging is required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Unpacking Delight:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Think about how you can delight your customers when they open the shipment box. Think of handwritten notes, colorful confetti, seasonal freebies, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Delivery Method:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do you want the package to be picked up from your facility, or would you deliver the package to the shipping company? Would you pack the products on your own, or do you want your shipping partner to take care of that? Are you thinking about dropshipping, managed inventor, and fulfilment? All these things have to be thought of beforehand. There are shipping companies who can pack your products on your behalf.

Whatever shipping rates are asked by the shipping company with regard to the weight and size of the product and the distance covered, the same price will be shown to customers. Everything gets synced in real-time, meaning if the shipping company increases the rate by 5%, it will be automatically updated on your online store. The customers will know the exact amount they need to pay, which can boost customer trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recommended thing to do here is to add multiple shipping companies that offer real-time shipping rates and let customers choose and pay.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flat Rates\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flat rates are quite popular and the easiest to set up. You apply a flat rate or a flat shipping charge on all your products regardless of how heavy or lightweight or how small or large they are. Flat rates shipping charges are ideal for eCommerce businesses with a standard product line. But if your store sells products of different sizes and weights, flat rates won\u2019t be the right choice because then you have the risk of overcharging or undercharging your customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Table Rates\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When flat rates don\u2019t work for your eCommerce store, table rates can be a viable option. Table rates allow you to offer shipping rates based on sizes, weights, shipping classes, the total number of items, and destinations. Few rules that you can create using table rates:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ship products only when the order totaling is Rs.500 or more.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charge Rs. 100 when the weight is less than 5 kg, and for anything beyond 5 kg, charge Rs. 150.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case the delivery destination is within the same city as the online store, you can offer free shipping.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below, you will see a few shipping calculators provided by some of the top shipping companies:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluedart.com\/price-finder\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blue Dart &#8211; Price finder<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtdc.in\/shipping-cost-calculator.asp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DTDC &#8211; Delivery charges<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shiprocket.in\/shipping-rate-calculator\/?utm_campaign=SR_Brand_Exact_03_03_2019&amp;utm_term=sitelink&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiA6fafBhC1ARIsAIJjL8nChbpxqGfM4FSW4rbpcxwKBIVBcStdzq1yM43reUnF-qkuTjZuo0AaApGREALw_wcB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shiprocket- Rate calculator\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose Packaging Options Carefully<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12038\" src=\"https:\/\/d6xcmfyh68wv8.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/closeup-delivery-man-closing-carboard-box-with-tape-while-preparing-packages-shipment-1.png\" alt=\"ecommerce shipping strategy- packaging materials\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.razorpay.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/closeup-delivery-man-closing-carboard-box-with-tape-while-preparing-packages-shipment-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/blog.razorpay.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/closeup-delivery-man-closing-carboard-box-with-tape-while-preparing-packages-shipment-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.razorpay.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/closeup-delivery-man-closing-carboard-box-with-tape-while-preparing-packages-shipment-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.razorpay.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/closeup-delivery-man-closing-carboard-box-with-tape-while-preparing-packages-shipment-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.razorpay.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/closeup-delivery-man-closing-carboard-box-with-tape-while-preparing-packages-shipment-1-270x180.png 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As eCommerce businesses grow, so do the expectations of customers.

In the case of fragile items, you can secure the product even further by using bubble wrap. If you don\u2019t want to use paperboard, you can go for plastic or poly mailers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper Bags\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper bags are quite popular in the eCommerce ecosystem because they are inexpensive and biodegradable.

Custom packaging can provide customers with a unique unboxing experience. Although expensive, custom packaging can create a brand image for yourself.
