Planning Shipping for Bulk Orders
Estimate packaging, insurance, tracking, signature, and destination restrictions before quoting.
Use packed weight
Product weight is not shipment weight. Include containers, protective materials, cartons, documentation, and dimensional-weight rules. Test representative packed orders rather than guessing.
Set clear thresholds
A tiered shipping schedule is easy to understand, but actual carrier eligibility and destination restrictions still require review. Define when insurance, signature, or manual confirmation applies.
Build an exception process
Document how damaged, delayed, returned, refused, or restricted shipments are handled. Keep tracking and packing records with the inquiry or transaction.
