With the COVID-19 pandemic, many business owners saw an opportunity in e-commerce. Physical stores have closed, but creative entrepreneurs took the chance to open a shop online.
Even shipping companies such as Complete Shipping Solutions Inc. have experienced an increase in clients who need to deliver goods from one place to another. In Canada, no less than CAD 40 billion worth of Harmonized System commodities has been exported since January 2021. Complete shipping solutions jobs are so in demand that in 2018 312,000 truck drivers were hired by shipping companies. What more today?
If you can see your online business booming years after this pandemic, here are the solutions and services to look for when looking for a partner shipping company.
The most immediate market of your online store is the residents within your own country. Hence, find a shipping company that can deliver anywhere in Canada, from Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Yukon to other provinces.
Once you have perfected local trade, you will surely think of expanding your coverage to the United States, one of Canada’s largest trade partners. Shipping to the United States entails going through the US Customs and Border Protection, so make sure to partner with institutions well-versed in exporting processes and the customs fees you need to pay.
The same goes for international shipping. When you have familiarized yourself with exporting products to the United States, explore selling products to other countries. Make sure to pick the best and most affordable international shipping partner!
Shipping solutions include not only delivering your products from point A to B but also services like picking up the package from your home or a drop-off point and packing it according to the fulfillment guidelines of the locality or country where it will be sent. Keeping the boxes safe in a warehouse while awaiting their delivery should also be part of the complete shipping solutions.
As an online seller, you have to take note that packing is not as easy as putting your products in a box. Packing includes following guidelines set by the customs department for international shipping or rules created by e-selling platforms. Not abiding by the regulations can mean non-processing of your shipment, delays and additional costs.
If one of your goals is to find the cheapest shipping rates in Canada, finding a company that packs efficiently should be your first step.
Is your online business on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy or eBay? If so, then find a shipping company that offers integration of your accounts to their database so that you can easily accomplish all your shipping goals. A reliable shipping company should have this service to make every transaction convenient for online sellers like you.
