Shipping, what would you do?

To know what will work best for you and be the cheapest you'll really need to do price head-to-head comparisons for your highest selling products. Package sizes and destinations make a big difference between UPS and FedEx. Also, if you have some good volume you'll be surprised at how open they are to offer discounts.

Yup.. agree.. And a regular check is must for this. But by records of large inventory sheets make it complex for comparing records.

Managing inventory is a crucial subject for every successful business and having the right product and and right software to necessary to keep in touch with all records for comparison.

UPS and Fedex (for me) have actually been some of the most reliable companies. Of course, that very well depends on the location because sometimes shipping providers are only good in certain regions.

What I'm actually curious about is the service for picking/delivering inventory in Brooklyn. My new colleague Jim has furnace filters and flashlights shipped nationally and he's been fairly satisfied with USPS. For budgeting purposes, obviously, he's sticking with them instead of UPS and FedEx. The quote they gave him for the products was fairly cheap.

Anyway, if anyone can provide me with some sort of advice, it would certainly help too.

I keep changing companies because I keep becoming fed up with them. I started with FedEx, went to USPS Priority Mail, and now I'm with UPS. I haven't encountered any of them to be what I think they ought be, but your options are limited.
