Why is optimizing the volumetric weight of your packages so crucial to lower transportation costs in eCommerce warehouses and distribution centers? VisAI Labs Logistics Insights vLog series - Episode 31
Your customers probably want to have the best shopping experience possible when shopping with you online. This is why several warehouse and logistics centers attempt to expedite delivery of their products so they arrive at their destination promptly. Unfortunately, due to the way carriers measure and bill the volumetric weight, express delivery is often overpriced than standard delivery.
What is the purpose of calculating the volumetric weight of your products? Your packages are typically weighed in volumetric weight by carriers to compare the volumetric weight to their actual weight. The volumetric weight for the e-commerce industry is often the more profitable option for them due to its inherent characteristics.
Our logistics insight video series explains how volumetric weight works and how we can optimize it to save shipping expenses efficiently.
