You’re likely already familiar with the major carriers: Royal Mail, DPD, DHL, APC and many others. Shipping options and pricing vary from carrier to carrier.
To select the right one, consider the following:
Destination address: do you ship clothes to customers domestically, internationally, or both?
Package weight: what is your most common package weight? What are your minimum and maximum package weights?
Delivery speed: what is your ideal speed of delivery? Do your customers require weekend delivery?
Service options: do your customers require tracking and delivery confirmation? Does the carrier provide free supplies like boxes, envelopes, and labels?
Insurance: what’s your average order value? Will you need insurance? Does your carrier’s included insurance cover it? Will you need additional insurance?
You should evaluate each carrier within the context of the factors listed above to select the best option for you.
