Factors Affecting Shipping Rates
Shipping rates are influences by a variety of factors that can significantly impact the final cost. The weight, size, and shape of your package are primary considerations, as larger and heavier items typically incur higher shipping rates. The destination, or shipping zone, also plays a crucial role as the farther your package needs to travel, the higher the shipping rate. Additionally, the type of shipping service you choose, whether ground, air, or express, can also affect the cost. Other elements such as fuel surcharges, labor costs, and package handling fees are also factored into the shipping rate. Understanding these variables can help you make more informed decisions and potentially save you on shipping costs. Traveling Mailbox, with its unique processing model, is able to pass on our bulk shipping discounts directly to the customer. Our shipping prices are often up to 70% cheaper than our typical competitor as they will ship using retail rates.
Reduce Shipping Costs
To reduce shipping costs, individuals and businesses can implement several effective strategies. One of the most straightforward methods is to use flat rate shipping options. Traveling Mailbox offers aggressive One Rate shipping options via FedEx allowing customers within the United States to receive their postal mail within 2-3 business days at a low flat rate much cheaper than the traditional 2nd day retail rates that most providers use.
Shipping Insurance
Shipping insurance is an essential aspect of shipping, providing protection against loss or damage. Traveling Mailbox is able to leverage this throughout our entire customer base offering you low cost package insurance and an easy claims process if something was to be lost or damaged. We handle the entire claims process and you can often be refunded for your lost or damaged package within 24 hours and the claim check can be placed directly in your Traveling Mailbox!
