Drop Shipping: Saving Money and Time

US_MAP


More and more regularly we are finding that we can save our customers money by drop shipping their mail. Of course, to the average person, this term ‘drop shipping’ doesn’t mean anything. We thought we would clear this up and help you understand why we do this and what benefit it has to you.

Drop shipping simply means physically taking mail to the closest postal distribution unit before delivery. By avoiding the extra travel that the Postal Service has to complete in order to deliver the mail, you can save. Besides postage discounts, you also can benefit in that drop shipping can speed the delivery of your mail by avoiding unnecessary travel time.

Here at BlueGrass Mailing we take the initiative to determine if drop shipping would be beneficial to you. We first look at the postage savings and see if it is going to be worthwhile. Then, if we determine that it will save you money and help speed the delivery, we arrange to have the mail delivered to the location of the required Post Office. The further down the mail stream your mail goes prior to entering the Postal Service facilities for delivery, the greater the postal discounts you receive.

The good news for you is that this is done seamlessly without you having to make any decisions or do any extra work, and the discount shows up on your invoice. If you have any questions about how this works or whether your next mailing can be drop shipped, give us a call today!
