We Take the Hassle Out of Shipping
Friday, November 26th, 2010
According to a national advertising campaign shipping can be a hassle. This national ad indicates that if it fits into their box and weighs less than 70 pounds it ships for the same price anywhere in this country. This is true. What they are not telling you is the average size gift box designed for a shirt or pair of slacks simply will not fit in any of their boxes.
The newest commercial shows a woman with an arm full of gift wrapped packages. She is informed of how little hassle it is to ship these boxes. Then she opens the trunk of her car which is completely filled with wrapped packages. Let’s assume all these wrapped packages will fit into their largest box (which they won’t) and that she can get 2 packages into each of these boxes. She has a minimum of 50 packages giving her 25 boxes to ship. Each box costs $14.90 for this carrier to ship. Her total for shipping is $372.50 (15 * 25 = 372.50). Insurance on each of these boxes is an added expense.
We can box, pack, insure and ship those same wrapped packages to San Diego, CA for about $265. We would be shipping 5 boxes each weighing 15 pounds. The choice is yours to make but The Shipping Place is offering the best deal over all. We take the hassle out of shipping. Just bring your presents in and put us to the test.
