A snack food manufacturer seeks more affordable shipping alternatives to USPS Priority Mail for lightweight (<8oz) but bulky (10x14 inches) products.
Recommended shipping options:
Multiple shipping options:
Customers can choose from different shipping methods using Shopify’s built-in features or third-party apps like Advanced Shipping Rules, ShipStation, or Readyshipper (which includes an intelligent rate finder).
Additional resource:
Fulfillment Plus (New York-based) was suggested as a fulfillment partner known for customization and helpful service.
The discussion remains open with no final decision indicated.
I currently offer the USPS priority shipping option, which in itself seems really high. Looking for cost effective recommendations. We are a snack food manufacturer and our snacks are really light <8oz but are voluminous ( 10x14 inches).
Also can I offer multiple shipping offers for my consumers to choose from?
For cheaper shipping, try USPS First-Class Mail for lightweight items, or FedEx SmartPost and UPS SurePost for non-urgent, lightweight shipments. Consider Flat Rate Shipping boxes for volume savings.
You can offer multiple shipping options with Shopify’s built-in features or apps like Advanced Shipping Rules or ShipStation, allowing customers to choose based on cost and urgency.
Hi Shwetha,
You can get in touch with Fulfillment Plus. They are New York-based, and do a lot of customizations, I have worked with them in the past for my clothing line. The team was also really nice and helpful.
Readyshipper has an intelligent rate finder that helps you find the best deals for shipping your item. I highly recommend you take a look at their app in the Shopify app store.
