Cheap shipping - how do you achieve it? Check out the tips for business

The e-commerce market is booming. This is not surprising, as consumers increasingly appreciate the ability to order a variety of products without leaving home. However, when running a sales platform, in addition to the goods offered and attractive prices, efficient and inexpensive shipping is also important. How, then, can you reduce the cost of delivery of your company's parcels and further encourage customers to buy from your online shop?

Impact of shipping costs on e-commerce sales

How do you attract new internet users to your e-shop? Retailers often focus on lowering product prices, encourage promotional campaigns and try to capture the attention of potential customers with advertising. Each of these actions can bring excellent results, but the high payment for delivery will in many cases result in the final abandonment of the purchase.

The more competition there is, the greater the impact on shop profitability. Vendors offering similar goods at similar prices simply cannot differentiate themselves in the eyes of those expecting the lowest possible transaction price.

Too high a shipping cost in one shop will make potential buyers decide to buy the same (or similar) goods elsewhere. Low-cost delivery of products and, on top of this, various forms of collection (courier, Parcel Machine®, Parcel Point) are the best ways to reduce the number of abandoned shopping baskets .

Attractive price

Our couriers are able to deliver many times more parcels to machines compared to the traditional method of delivery to a given address. Hence the reason for such low delivery charges. N and the final cost is influenced, among other things, by the number of parcels sent per month .

24-hour collection

One of the many advantages is that Parcel Post 24/7 is available around the clock.

High availability

In addition, we have made an effort to place our vending machines in convenient locations. We have placed (and continue to place) many of them where your customers are most likely to visit - at shopping centres, petrol stations or near location hubs. This allows them to pick up their parcels while running other errands and without standing in long queues.

Instant delivery

Nobody wants to wait too long for their order. A parcel machine is the best way to avoid this. It usually takes no more than two days for a parcel to be transported from your shop's warehouse (or the wholesaler you work with) to the delivery point. However, more often than not the parcel is delivered the very next day after the order is placed .

Cash on delivery option

Some consumers prefer cash on delivery payments. That is why at InPost we make it possible to make payment upon receipt of the parcel . Importantly, we care about the safety of your (and, incidentally, our) customers. We have therefore ensured that the process runs smoothly.

Sometimes the goods ordered do not fit or do not meet expectations. For this reason, being able to easily return items is of great importance to customers.
