    How can a small company provide a superior pick and pack service to US based clients? How can we improve upon the service already provided? It is a question that often gets asked, but not always answered. This is unfortunate because the proper selection of carriers can make a huge difference in the quality of service we receive and the level of satisfaction with which we are satisfied.

    First of fulfillment is important for us to understand that carriers do not offer identical service. They have different methods of doing business, they use different packaging methods and they have different levels of experience. Some are small with little more than an inventory and a fleet of trucks, and others are large with an extensive fleet of carriers, lots and vessels. In this article I focus on the last type of carrier – the one that provides the best pick and pack services.

    There are some very specific reasons why I focus on these types of carriers. The largest reason is because they specialize in these types of services and therefore can provide the most personalized, superior pick and pack services available anywhere. They know what their customers need and how to provide it. These carrier companies also have sophisticated systems for tracking, auditing and maintaining the integrity of shipments.

    Smaller carrier companies may not have these necessary capabilities. This means that they may choose to rent or lease based upon the price of shipping, even though this may not be the most efficient shipping solution for them. They may lack the resources for auditing or tracking and might even make shipments according to the price of the shipper. This can mean that they do not provide the highest quality pick and pack and send services available. On the other hand larger companies that might have a larger fleet of trucks, larger vessels and better auditing and tracking systems may have the appropriate capabilities for providing a superior pick and pack and send service to US based customers.

    The second reason why I focus on small carrier services is because they are directly responsible for the success of their business. It is their job to get their customers to realize that their goods are the absolute best available at the best available prices. If they fail to do so then they fail to make money. This means that if they make bad business decisions the results will be devastating. I therefore focus my efforts on helping them make informed decisions based on sound statistical data, solid customer service and good packaging practices.

    The third reason why I focus on these types of companies is because they offer an excellent value for the money that they charge for their shipping services. The smaller companies do not have nearly the financial resources of the larger corporation. Therefore they cannot charge very high rates for their goods in order to generate profits. They have to pass the savings onto the customers by offering a reasonable and competitive rate for pick and pack services. This allows customers to have the best pick and pack experience possible.

    The fourth reason why I focus on these types of businesses is because they allow me to work from home. This enables me to increase the profitability of my business while working smarter and not harder. Many people are looking for an opportunity to work from home. I therefore encourage all of you to consider what I am about to tell you.
