All shipments are rated with a number of carriers; and the rates returned are based on several variable weight and size thresholds in addition to contractual obligations that have been negotiated with the companies we partner with.
As we’re all aware, COVID-19 has changed the way companies ship product. Due to mass driver shortages, an influx of product moving in the network, and increased fuel costs, shipping prices have sky-rocketed across the board. In addition to that, we’re heading into peak Holiday season which adds ‘peak season surcharges’ to all parcel shipments with FedEx and USPS. We have no control over this.
For the last couple years, our society has been experiencing inflation happening in all markets due to these rising costs around the globe. Groceries, toiletries, and goods and services across the board have been impacted, and sadly, our shipping costs are not exempt from the issue. As we are charged more, we must, in turn, pass those increases along to the customer as any business would.
Should you ever feel our shipping costs are too high, you’re welcome to use your own carriers to ship product. Simply provide us the carrier name, BOL (if LTL), and schedule the pick-up. We can provide skid counts and dimensions for you to obtain rates if necessary. If you choose to go this route, we are certain you’ll find the above to be true. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to be your trusted shrink wrap supplier and always do our best to be as transparent as possible while providing excellent service and support. Thank you for working with us.
