From enhanced profit margins to customer satisfaction, there are many reasons that reducing shipping costs can benefit your business. But how do we at 3PL Center offer such discounted shipping rates? How can we offer lower shipping costs than our competitors? Here are five ways that 3PL Center can offer our customers the lowest shipping rates in the ecommerce fulfillment industry.

Cutting-Edge WMS Software

Our unique WMS logistics software works to optimize the shipment of your products for reduced shipping costs. Our software checks the dimensions and weights of each product and chooses the smallest box sizes or multiple boxes to minimize your shipping costs. Another great feature is our address verification process. We check each address to ensure its accuracy. Sometimes the client may have entered an address missing the apartment number or missed something very easy to overlook. We are also checking to ensure it’s a commercial or residential address. This avoids costly Address Correction fees.

Shipping Options

Our WMS system allows you to browse different shipping options and choose the best way to ship your product quickly and cost effectively. Whether it be LTL (less-than-truckload) or small parcel shipping, you can choose the best option for your business to save money on shipping. We can also set this up automatically so you don’t have to choose. Our system will do it for you with our AI technology.

Higher DIM Factor

We offer our customers a higher DIM factor for their shipments. What does this mean for you? The DIM factor, or dimensional factor, is the number used by freight carriers to calculate the dimensional weight based on volume. With a higher DIM factor, your shipping costs are further reduced, which equals savings in your pockets!

Multiple Warehouse Locations

With our multiple warehouses located nationwide, shipping your products becomes quicker and more efficient than ever before. Our warehouses are strategically located throughout the country helping to speed up delivery times. This leads to happier customers for you! By having multiple warehouses throughout the country you can achieve 2-day shipping without paying express service.
