Case Studies For Using Shipping Elite

 

Case Study #1 - Ebay Sellers

Selling on ebay is very competitive. Margins are slim and it's tough to make a profit on ebay. The only way you can make a nice profit is to buy many products at wholesale prices, and ship them out to your customers. If you don't want to deal with the hassles of storing products and shipping out orders, just send your inventory to Shipping Elite instead!

Some of our clients are making a killing on ebay and they never have to see or touch a single product they sell. They simply find the products they want to sell, ship them to our warehouse and put them on ebay. When the items sell, they send us the customer's information and we ship the items for them. Very simple.



Case Study #2 - Former Dropshipping Customers

Everyone loves the idea of dropshipping because it's a way to sell products without the hassles of manually shipping items to consumers. The problem with dropshipping is, your cost of goods sold (COGS) is way higher than if you were able to buy products at wholesale prices and ship them yourself. In many cases, you pay an extra 25% for the products you are selling using a dropshippers.

With Shipping Elite, you can have the convenience of using a dropshipper and the income of buying wholesale at the same time!

Let's say you sell $100 dog beds online. These dog beds weigh about 9lbs to ship.

Here's how Shipping Elite compares to dropshipping in this case...

Your cost from the dropshipper for one dog bed = $75

You sell the dog bed online for $95 plus $10 shipping for a total of $105 in sales.

Your dropshipper charges you $11 for UPS shipping plus a $3 dropship fee = $14

$105 Total Income
- $89 Total Expenses
---------------------------
$16 net profit for making the sale.

 

Example Using Shipping Elite Instead Of A Dropshipper

Your wholesale cost from the manufacturer for one dog bed = $50

You sell the dog bed online for $95 plus $10 shipping for a total of $105 in sales.

Shipping Elite charges you a flat rate $12 to ship the bed to your customer.

The dog bed sat in our warehouse for 21 days before you sold it = $0.42 storage fee @ $0.02 per day

$105.00 Total Income
- $62.42 Total Expenses
---------------------------
$42.58 net profit for making the sale.

 

In this example, you make AN EXTRA $26.58 in PURE PROFIT by using Shipping Elite to warehouse your product and ship it out for you...

When you are making this much more per item you sell, just think of what that will do for your business. You will have more money to buy advertising, more money to buy new inventory, more money in your bank account to spend on whatever you want!


Case Study #3 - Home Based Internet Businesses

If you've ever tried to run a business out of your home, you know the challenges that exist. Especially if you are shipping out a physical product. Maybe your spare bedroom is functioning as a warehouse or you are storing a bunch of inventory in your garage?

Your day probably goes something like this...

You made 10 sales this morning, fantastic. To the garage you go to begin packaging the orders. You can't find the right size shipping box, so you drive to the UPS store. They have the box you need, but they are charging $8.40 for a simple box! You know you can buy it online cheaper, so you go back home.

You order the box online, but you have to order a minimum of 10 boxes and it takes 3 days to get to you. Your customer is going to be upset because their order is delayed. You box up the other 9 orders and you realize you just ran out of shipping tape. Back out to the store you go to buy more tape.

You get home and see two complaints from customers. Apparently the items you shipped them last week were damaged because they weren't packaged properly. You have to replace the items and pay to ship the products again, so you have to eat that cost to keep your customers happy.

Now it's 4:40pm and you have to hurry because the UPS store and the post office close at 5. You load up all the packages in the car and drive all over town to drop off the orders. Another day has come and gone. You were so busy with all the "busy work" of shipping orders that you weren't able to promote your business at all. Your stuck working IN your business instead of working ON your business to make it grow and prosper.

Do yourself a favor and STOP. Outsource all of your order fulfillment to Shipping Elite and focus your time and energy on the important parts of your business.

Using Shipping Elite costs you next to nothing out of pocket and saves you all of the hassles of fulfilling orders yourself.


Case Study #4 - Downsizing Or Getting Rid Of Your Warehouse

So you currently have your own warehouse, but sales aren't what they used to be. Problem is, your expenses are staying the same such as your lease, utilities, shipping supplies, and warehouse labor.

You have about 2,000 products in your warehouse right now and your total monthly expenses are about $4,900 per month running your own warehouse. What are your options?

Well, if you put all 2,000 items in the Shipping Elite warehouses instead, your storage costs would only be $40 a day (2,000 x $0.02 per day) or $1,200 per month roughly. When you sell an item, you simply pay the small shipping fee and you don't have to touch any products or pay any other fees whatsoever.

As your inventory levels drop down, so does your storage fee. If you sell 1,500 items in your first month and you only have 500 items left in our warehouse, your storage fee next month drops to just $300.

Try to get your landlord to drop his rent like that next month and see what happens!

By using Shipping Elite, you eliminate those high fixed costs associated with running your own warehouse and it makes your life easier at the same time...talk about a win-win situation.
