Minimizing Costs Through Packaging Efficiencies
The extension of dimensional weight pricing to include all intra-U.S. and Canada ground shipments has had a direct impact on small package shippers, especially e-commerce retailers. By some estimates, e-commerce shipping costs have increased by as much as 30 percent. Dimensional weight pricing assesses charges based on the amount of space a shipment takes up on a truck. Previously, shipping charges were assessed based solely on weight. The move is designed to encourage shippers to be smarter about their packaging strategies, by using more appropriate carton sizes and less packing fillers.
