Are Shipping Surcharges the Cost of Doing Business?
In the world of shipping, delivery carrier surcharges are common. But no, surcharges can and should not be just the cost of doing business. Why? Because eCommerce businesses don’t have to accept all the surcharges they are currently paying.
Traditional last-mile carriers were built to support legacy B2B deliveries, not today’s rapidly growing volume of eCommerce residential deliveries. Legacy carriers rely on a rigid, asset-heavy operating model that does not allow for the flexibility, speed, efficiency, or accuracy needed to meet the demands of eCommerce sellers or consumers at an affordable price point.
Typically, sellers can have it fast, or they can have it affordable, but they can’t have both.
Instead of looking to the big delivery partners for all of a business’ delivery needs, they can choose a more flexible logistics solution, such as AxleHire, that aligns to the specific needs of each client and their customers.
How Does AxleHire Keep Its Delivery Fees Down?
AxleHire’s purpose-built technology and asset-light operational model empowers eCommerce sellers to ship faster and more economically, delivering a positive brand image to the customer’s doorstep. Logistics teams can now provide a differentiated experience at a competitive cost.
AxleHire can leverage its combination of purpose-built technology and asset-light operations to provide a level of speed, convenience, and responsiveness that legacy carriers can’t match.
Parcels are aggregated and the demand for parcels can be dynamically matched to the supply of drivers each day to produce more efficient routing, lower costs, and more sustainable deliveries. Delivery times are reduced from the 3-5 day standard ground delivery window for legacy carriers to a next- and same-day delivery window while maintaining a cost structure that is competitive to legacy carriers’ ground rates.
AxleHire’s technology provides greater convenience and visibility for clients and customers to track each package at each step in the process and to ensure that the right package gets to the right door at the right time, every time.
