Shopify Shipping Costs Are Eating Your Profit (Here's How to Fix it)
Are hidden shipping costs eating into your Shopify profit margins? From expensive 3PL fulfillment and warehouse fees to slow delivery and inventory mistakes, many ecommerce brands lose money without realizing where their profits are going. In this episode of Winning With Shopify, Nick Trueman sits down with Max and Zach Zitney, twin brothers and founders of Ships A Lot, to discuss how to reduce ecommerce shipping costs, improve order fulfillment, and scale a profitable Shopify business.
Discover when to outsource fulfillment to a third-party logistics (3PL) provider, how faster shipping affects customer experience, why multiple fulfillment centers aren't always cheaper, and how to avoid costly shipping and inventory mistakes. We also explore fulfillment pricing, shipping rates, barcode errors, average order value (AOV), and the importance of understanding your true cost per order before scaling your ecommerce business.
