Dim Weight Pricing and How it Could Affect Your Shipping Charges

The Impact on Retailers
What does this change in shipping charges mean for retailers? It likely means an increase in overall shipping costs and perhaps even the end of "free shipping" for customers. According to some studies, the majority of B-to-B and B-to-C shipments weigh less than 20 pounds. In fact, it's believed 32 percent of all ground packages will be affected by the price increase, with the majority of those weighing less than five pounds.
