🍂📦 Hello September, Hello Busy Season!

📦 Ship Tip: Peak Season Prep Starts Before the Rush

The end of August is a good time to review one shipping detail that can have a significant impact during peak season: your package data.

Before order volumes increase, review the weights and dimensions saved for your most frequently shipped products and packaging.

Why does this matter?
📏 Accurate dimensions help prevent billing adjustments. Carriers may use dimensional weight when calculating shipping costs, so even a lightweight package can cost more if the box is larger than necessary.

⚖️ Accurate weights lead to more reliable rates. Incorrect shipment details can result in differences between the rate quoted and the final carrier charge.

📦 Standardized packaging makes fulfillment more efficient. Knowing which box or mailer is used for each product can reduce packing decisions when order volume increases.

💰 Smaller packaging can mean lower shipping costs. Review whether your products are being shipped in boxes larger than they need.

Ship Tip: Measure the outside dimensions of your fully packed shipment, including any areas where the box may bulge, and use the final packed weight when creating your label.

A few minutes spent reviewing your most common shipments now can help create a more accurate and efficient shipping process when peak season gets busy.

Start preparing now, so you can Ship Smarter when the volume picks up 📦

Would You Be Happy Receiving This Box? 😬📦

Crushed corners. Tape barely hanging on. The box looks like it’s been through a lot. Definitely not the unboxing experience your customer was hoping for😅

Even with careful packaging, damage, loss, and the unexpected can happen in transit. That’s why protecting your shipments matters.

With ShipTime Insurance, you can access discounted shipping insurance up to 50% to help protect the value of eligible shipments if something goes wrong📦

Before your next package heads out the door, think about:
📦 What’s inside? Consider the value of the goods you’re shipping.
💰 Could you afford to replace it? Damage can quickly eat into your margins.
🛡️ Is it insured? Adding coverage can help reduce the financial impact of an eligible loss or damage claim.
📸 Can you document it? Take photos of the item and packaging before it ships.
✨ What about your customer? A damaged box doesn’t have to become a damaged relationship.

Insurance can’t stop a box from having a rough trip, but it can help you recover when things don’t go according to plan📫

Protect the shipment. Protect your bottom line. Protect the experience.

Price vs. Transit Time: What Matters More? 💸📦⏱️

The cheapest shipping option isn’t always the best one. And the fastest? It might be more than you actually need.

The key is finding the right balance between cost, speed, and customer expectations.

Before choosing a shipping service, look beyond the price tag:
💰 Shipping cost: Does the rate make sense for your margins and your customer?
⏱️ Transit time: When is the shipment actually expected to arrive?
📅 Customer expectations: Do they need it tomorrow, or would they happily wait an extra day or two for a better price?
📦 Service level: Compare the actual services available, not just the carrier name.
📍 Destination: The best option can change depending on where your package is headed.

Sometimes paying a little more for faster delivery is worth it. Other times, saving on shipping and adding a day to transit time is the smarter choice.

That’s why comparing your options matters. With ShipTime, you can compare rates and services from multiple trusted carriers in one place, so you can make the choice that works for your shipment, your budget, and your customer.

What if you could create shipping labels today… and pay only when they actually ship? 👀📦

That’s the idea behind Scan-Based Billing with ShipTime.

Instead of being charged the moment you create a label, eligible businesses are billed after the carrier performs the first acceptance scan. No scan? Generally, no charge for that unused label.

That means you can:
📦 Prepare shipments ahead of busy periods
💳 Avoid paying upfront for labels that may go unused
↩️ Include return labels and only pay when customers use them
🧾 Reduce refund requests for cancelled shipments
✅ Keep shipping costs better aligned with packages that actually enter the carrier network

It’s more flexibility for your workflow and one more way to Ship Smarter.

Scan-Based Billing is available to approved ShipTime customers with a credit account for eligible domestic, non-LTL shipments using ShipTime carrier accounts.

Would You Buy From Your Own Store? 👀

Put yourself in your customer’s shoes for a minute.

You find the perfect product, add it to your cart, and you’re ready to buy. But then what?

💸 Are shipping costs clear and competitive?
📦 Can you choose from multiple delivery options?
🔄 Is the returns process simple?
🛒 Does the checkout experience feel seamless?

A great eCommerce experience doesn’t stop at a great product🛍

Real-time shipping rates give customers more choice and transparency. eCommerce integrations help orders move smoothly from cart to shipment. Returns management can turn a frustrating moment into an experience that builds trust.

And that’s where your store can stand out🔥

While other stores may treat shipping and returns as an afterthought, but with ShipTime you can make them part of the experience with more choice, competitive rates, smoother integrations, easier returns, and Heroic Support™ when you need a hand.

Because customers remember more than what they bought. They remember how easy it was to buy from you.

So, take another look at your store.

Would you buy from it? 👀

⏱️ How long does it take your team to ship ONE order?

Let’s say an eCommerce order just came in. Here’s what fulfilment could look like:

WITHOUT AN INTEGRATION 👇
🛒 Open the order
✍️ Copy customer + shipping details
🚚 Check shipping options
📦 Re-enter package information
🏷️ Create the label
📋 Copy tracking back into your system
📧 Update the customer

Example: 5–10+ minutes per order

Now connect your eCommerce store with ShipTime:

WITH SHIPTIME ⚡
🛒 Import your order
🚚 Compare available shipping options
🏷️ Select your service + create the label
📍 Keep tracking connected

Example: potentially just a few minutes per order

Saving a few minutes might not sound huge until you’re shipping 20, 50, or 100+ orders a day. 👀

The goal isn’t to pack faster. It’s to remove unnecessary steps between “Order received” and “Order shipped.”

Integrate. Automate. Ship Smarter. 📦
