5 Mistakes Shipping Managers Make…
Posted by April in General, Tools & Tips on July 8, 2010
Shipping managers are people too. That’s right, they also make mistakes. UPS recently published a Compass article listing the top 5 mistakes that shipping managers can make. The list included:
Mistake No. 1: Selecting the wrong service.
Mistake No. 2: Needless address corrections.
Mistake No. 3: Improper packaging.
Mistake No. 4: Not making use of support resources.
Mistake No. 5. Failing to get UPS help with international services.
According to UPS, shipping should be as simple and seamless as possible. If that’s the case, the list seems to be missing another mistake – Mistake No. 6: Not using NRGship to manage your shipping. This would also solve mistake number 2, since NRGship has integrated address validation.
Be sure to check out the full article if you’re making any of these mistakes. They offer up some great tips for you!

So you’ve got the goods, you’ve picked your carrier….There’s only one thing left. Shipping supplies. Did you know that all of the major carriers offer their users FREE shipping supplies simply by holding an account with them?
UPS
UPS shippers holding a UPS account qualify for free shipping supplies. By simply logging into your My UPS account, you can search and order packaging, labels, air freight supplies and even pre-printed forms. The best part is that if you use the same supplies over and over, My UPS allows you to easily reorder the supplies you use frequently. All of our NRGship customers also qualify for free labels to use in their thermal or laser printers and are provided with a quick link to order supplies from all of our solutions.
FedEx
Similar to UPS, FedEx also offers their registered users access to free shipping supplies. They provide free shipping of their products and guarantee them to arrive within 2-5 business days. They also allow shippers to visit any of their local FedEx locations to pick up supplies if they are needed quickly. Also offered for free are various specialty shipping supplies including COD air waybills, Clinical Pak’s and identifier labels.
USPS
The USPS provides everyone the opportunity to receive free Priority Mail boxes, various shipping forms and Express Mail packaging. You can even get mailing stickers and entire shipping kits at no charge. Visit the USPS Postal Store for more details. USPS packaging, forms and labels can also be ordered for free through Endicia.

Chocolate milk via UPS
Posted by April in General, Tools & Tips on April 29, 2010
I’ve never had to ship chocolate milk but apparently enough people are asking the UPS experts about it to feature the question on their recent list: “Top 10 questions of spring 2010.” Check out their recent posting to learn more about shipping chocolate milk, C.O.D. policies and how to ship your luggage.
We did notice that they were missing one question: “Can you ship from your Mac?” Of course you can!
