Shipping cost becomes significant once daily orders cross 200+.
Relying on a single courier means missing out on optimized weight slabs, zone pricing, and efficient delivery routes.
To reduce cost without impacting delivery speed — which could otherwise lead to returns, cancellations, and poor ratings — you need:
- Pin-code level courier mapping
- Weight-based carrier selection
- Surface vs air differentiation
- COD surcharge optimization
- Smart routing to pick the cheapest viable courier
