Case Study
Jack Mitchell, for example, had been trying to budget shipping costs at his Sydney based online business since he founded it in 2013. He offered a free delivery service, shipping 50 orders a week, but had no idea of the shipping cost until after his visit to the post office. He wanted to offer quick delivery but had to settle on Parcel Post to save costs.
He recently realised that changing his carrier, reviewing his free shipping strategy, and using WizMe’s Flat Rate Service would not only cut his shipping costs but also boost sales. He set a minimum order threshold for free shipping to encourage larger orders. Jack’s business has increased and as a result more as a Business Club Member.
Today, he says, his sales have increased and he spends less on shipping. He’s delighted WizMe collect from his business, and his customers are thrilled they get their stuff much quicker with WizMe’s courier service.

5. Use online shipping.
One way to save is to pay for your shipping online, as and when you need it. The cost of the WizMe box or satchel and the cost of delivery is separated. The box or satchel is purchased and when an item is packed and ready to ship, you go online to create and pay for a shipping label. That means you outlay a small sum for packaging and only spend the large sum for shipping when the item is ready to dispatch.

Recent surveys show over half of online shoppers do not want their delivery left on their doorstep and are generally frustrated by problems with receiving their purchases. With WizMe, ‘signature-on-delivery’ and ‘receiver not-home’ services are included in the shipping cost.
9. Look for a service where insurance is included.
Carriers typically charge about 80 cents for every $100 of insurance. WizMe provide free insurance, the savings can add up.
10. Factor in all shipping fees before billing customers.
Carriers have more than 75 special charges, including fuel charges, fees when requiring a signature from the recipient, or re-delivery fees. If your customers pay for shipping, be sure to include all these extra fees otherwise it’ll cost you. With WizMe you know the costs upfront.
11. Consider a carrier with national coverage.
There are small carriers who offer local coverage. Keep in mind these networks are limited. You also might reduce your bargaining power if you spread your business among too many carriers.
12. Budget for return delivery costs.
Some stores say that they don’t allow returns or refunds on certain items (like sale items), or that they only allow them for a certain time, or that the business takes ‘all care but no responsibility’ for services they provide. What a business says makes absolutely no difference to consumer rights under Law. WizMe’s Parcel Return service gives you the option to either absorb or charge your customer for return shipping. And with hundreds of Parcel Return drop locations, it’s a convenient service for your customers.
