How to choose a right shipping partner for international shipping from India?

International shipping from India can provide many benefits for businesses, including increased sales opportunities and access to new markets. By expanding their customer base beyond their local borders, businesses can tap into new revenue streams and grow their bottom line. International shipping also offers businesses the ability to source materials and products from a wider range of suppliers, often at lower prices. Additionally, it allows companies to take advantage of specialised manufacturing capabilities and unique products that may not be available domestically. With the right logistics partner, businesses can effectively manage the complexities of international shipping, ensuring their products reach their destination safely and efficiently. Overall, international shipping can be a key component of a business’s growth strategy, providing a competitive edge in a global marketplace.

5 points to choose the best shipping partner for international shipping.

Experience and Expertise: It is important to choose a shipping partner in India that has a proven track record of successfully handling international shipments. Look for a company with experience in your industry and the ability to offer customised shipping solutions to meet your specific needs.
Competitive Pricing: Shipping costs can significantly impact your bottom line. Look for a shipping partner that offers competitive pricing while still providing high-quality service.
Reliability and Timeliness: When it comes to international shipping, timeliness and reliability are crucial. Choose a partner with a strong network of global carriers and a proven ability to deliver shipments on time, every time.
Customized Solutions: Every business has unique shipping requirements. A good shipping partner should be able to offer customized solutions to meet your specific needs, such as specialized handling or packaging, or expedited shipping options.
Technology and Tracking: Look for a shipping partner that uses the latest technology to provide real-time tracking and visibility into your shipments. This will allow you to stay informed throughout the shipping process and proactively manage any issues that may arise.

Check rates for international shipping from India. Compare rates from FedEx, Aramex, DHL and other partners before choosing a courier company for your shipment.

Price vs Service Value

A courier that provides a wide range of delivery options is beneficial for your business and customer base. Cheaper isn’t always a bargain when it comes to picking a courier, as the features they offer may be limited.

Working with a courier company that offers a wide range of delivery options means risks of late deliveries are less likely, it ensures your customers are happy, and being held accountable for shipments arriving after promised will be a thing of the past.

The most expensive courier service (or the cheapest) might not be the best fit for you and your business. You might not even realize in the beginning that they aren’t compatible with your business. It can take some red flags from your courier for you to consider the change.

You want a reliable and consistent courier and you shouldn’t have to pay extortionate prices for one.

On the other hand, you should be a little wary if the costs are too low. This could mean the courier service is unable to cope with your demands. It’s important to find a balance between cost and value.

However, it’s important that price isn’t the priority. You want a courier who understands your business, is an extension of your team, and can provide indispensable value – regardless of the cost.

It’s important to know what you want from your courier service provider and what they can offer to help grow and streamline your delivery process. Not every courier service will be for you and it’s easy to overlook a few red flags until they become a large disruption to your business.

To make the right decision, click to check our service at ePostBook for Business.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING….

Courier services deal in life and death situations. A delay, a mis-delivery or missed delivery can create severe and lasting consequences for an individual or a company. That’s why you must be able to trust that your courier partners will perform with complete accuracy and no unexpected delays.

So choose the correct and best carrier for your shipments at ePostBook.
