Bulk orders and shipping
1. Bulk Ordering Process
- MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity): We offers discounts on bulk purchases and require a minimum purchase amount.
- Payment Terms: Negotiate better payment terms (e.g., Net 30, Net 60) for large orders.
- Order Management: Use inventory management software to track bulk orders efficiently.
2. Shipping & Logistics
Freight vs. Parcel Shipping: For large orders, freight shipping (LTL or FTL) is more cost-effective than parcel shipping.
Shipping Partners: Compare rates from FedEx, UPS, DHL, and freight companies to find the best option.
Customs & Duties (for international shipping): Ensure compliance with import/export regulations.
Warehousing & Fulfillment: Consider third-party logistics (3PL) services for storage and fulfillment.
3. Cost Optimization
Bulk Discounts: Negotiate volume-based discounts with customers.
Shipping Rates: Use freight brokers to get better rates on large shipments.
Packaging Efficiency: Optimize packaging to reduce dimensional weight (DIM) charges.
