Dim Weight Pricing and How it Could Affect Your Shipping Charges

Options do indeed exist, but where to find them? Both FedEx and UPS provide assistance to shippers by offering such consulting services for the best types of packaging to use, the most efficient means to packing such boxes, and the best service to use. But perhaps even more important, shippers should first request a dim analysis from their carrier to determine how the changes may affect them. Shipping needs vary from one retailer to the next, and perhaps the services of an independent third-party firm may be in order. Such a firm can also perform a dim analysis as well as recommend alternative solutions to reduce shipping costs.
