Shipping Cost Optimization FAQ
Why is shipping expensive?
Shipping cost is usually driven by billable weight, package dimensions, service speed, distance, and the available carrier rates for a lane. This advisor only reports drivers supported by your package and live quote data.
How can I reduce shipping cost?
Compare all available carrier rates and test whether a safely smaller package returns a lower quote. Any package suggestion here is a simulation and must be checked against the product’s protection needs.
How does DIM Weight affect shipping?
When dimensional weight is higher than actual weight, a carrier may charge using the larger billable weight. Reducing unused package volume can sometimes lower that weight and the quoted rate.
