Ship More, Save More

Why custom pricing?
It’s simple—the needs of our clients are varied, and there is no one-size-fits-all fulfillment model.
We pivot to accommodate the unique needs of our clients based on factors such as order volume, average
product weight and size, SKU mix, inventory storage, specialized processes including product handling and
packing, and more.

Plus, our tiered approach to pricing allows you to scale your profits as you scale your business.
Byexpress offers eCommerce retailers significant cost savings as their business grows. By shipping with
Byexpress, retailers can save on both fulfillment and shipping costs. In fact, based on real shipping data
analysis, retailers using Byexpress experience an average yearly savings of up to 15%-25% on shipping
expenses.

Product Protection & Labeling

We specialize in packaging fragile, sharp, and liquid items to ensure their safe storage within Amazon warehouses.
Our meticulous approach includes positioning FNSKU labels correctly outside protective packaging. Moreover,
we handle labeling with Amazon’s FNSKU barcodes, along with other necessary labels such as those for heavy items,
sets, or suffocation warnings on poly bags.

How Does Pricing Work?

During our discovery call, our team delves deep into your product specifics, shipping requirements, and handling preferences. We explore typical order scenarios, including your desired packing and shipping methods. Based on this comprehensive understanding, we propose optimizations to reduce costs through efficient packaging and enhance delivery speed with streamlined shipping methods.

Post discovery call, we prepare a tailored proposal for fulfillment services. This proposal is structured into two sections: fulfillment service pricing and shipping service pricing. It includes monthly order volume ranges designed to scale and save on fulfillment costs as your business expands. We review this proposal together to ensure it aligns perfectly with your business’s objectives

FACTORS THAT DETERMINE FREIGHT SHIPPING RATES

The mode of transportation used to ship the freight is a weighing factor. For example, expedited shipping will usually result in additional charges.

 

 

Shipping method

The mode of transportation used to ship the freight is a weighing factor. For example, expedited shipping will usually result in additional charges.

Origin and destination

The further the distance between the shipping origin and the final destination, the higher the rate will be. Proximity to a major metro can also impact freight shipping rates.

 

Size and weight

Accurate measurement of dimensions and weight is crucial for determining freight rates and ensuring compliance with regulations. Dimensions, specifically length and width, should typically be rounded up to the next inch to ensure clarity and consistency in calculating shipping costs. This approach helps carriers and logistics providers adhere to local, federal, provincial, and state regulations governing transportation and freight handling. By maintaining precise measurements, businesses can accurately estimate shipping costs and avoid potential issues during transit and delivery.

Special services

Any shipments that require special handling (perishables, fragile, hazardous materials) will likely lead to higher costs.

Density

Calculating the density of a shipment helps determine its freight class, crucial for accurate LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight rates. Here’s how:

Measure the total weight of the shipment including packaging. Measure the length, width, and height of the shipment, including any protrusions. Calculate the cubic feet by multiplying these dimensions. Divide the total weight by the cubic feet to get the density. Use the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) to find the correct freight class based on density and other factors.

Classification of freight

In the LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight industry, every shipment is classified based on factors outlined in the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) book by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association. There are 18 different classes, ranging from 50 to 500. The classification of a shipment is determined by several factors including product density, value, stow-ability, handling requirements, and liability.

Lower classes (e.g., Class 50) typically represent dense, durable freight that is less susceptible to damage and easy to handle. Freight in lower classes generally has lower shipping rates. Conversely, higher classes (e.g., Class 500) indicate lighter or less dense freight that occupies more space relative to its weight. Shipments in higher classes are charged higher rates due to their increased volume-to-weight ratio.

Understanding freight classification is essential for accurately determining LTL freight rates and ensuring shipments are priced correctly based on their characteristics. For more detailed information on freight classification, check out our upcoming blog post in this series on what determines LTL freight class.

Accessorial/surcharges

Accessorial charges are additional fees for specialized services beyond standard shipping practices. They include lift gate service, residential delivery, limited access locations, inside delivery, and fuel surcharges. These charges vary by carrier and can often be negotiated or waived based on specific agreements or shipment volume. Understanding and managing these fees is essential for accurate budgeting and efficient logistics operations.
