WTN Services-Best Practices- Margin Savings Advisory Shipping Costs
The increase in fuel surcharges announced by the carriers are…
-
Ground shipping the surcharge went from 6.25% to 7.75% and
-
Express meaning 2 day or overnight shipments the surcharge jumped from 20% to 25%.
WTN Services™ can help you mitigate those costs and margin concerns
for you and your consumer in two ways…
1.) Process clubs and release shipments via bi-coastal shipping. Using our bi-coastal fulfillment option, we can ship clubs and release shipments ground from our New York and California facilities, zone skip and provide deliveries to 75% of the US population within 2 days in a manner that protects you from these excessive fuel surcharges and can save 18% in transport fuel surcharges, as well as provide additional savings in the cost structure of your consumer deliveries.
2.) We have negotiated discounting for a discount off the published fuel surcharge fees that will be passed along to our clients and will be applied to daily shipments fulfilled from Napa and Albany New York. We are working on further mitigations that will be in place within 60 days for further security against these increased cost risks.
A WTN Services™ Account Manager will be happy to meet with you to discuss mitigation strategies to ensure your exposure is limited. At WTN Services™ we are aggressively working to protect your margins and the costs to your consumers. Please reach out for further dialog on how we can ensure your margins and your wine club consumers cost increases are mitigated.
If you have immediate need to discuss the implications of this offer to assist you in mitigating the risk of increased shipment costs of course, I am happy to discuss, as well as key members of our team.
