What is DIM weight pricing, and how does it affect pet product contracts?
“Dimensional weight pricing bills the greater of a package's actual weight or its size-based weight, using a standard UPS and FedEx divisor of 139 for domestic shipments. Bulky pet items such as beds, crates, and large food bags frequently bill above scale weight, and negotiating a higher divisor lowers the calculated DIM weight across the entire catalog.”
在公司资料中查看What surcharges should pet product shippers watch out for?
“The costliest for pet shippers are additional handling on heavy or irregular packages, large package surcharges above dimensional thresholds, residential delivery surcharges on DTC orders, delivery area surcharges on rural deliveries, and fuel surcharges. Each is negotiable and should be addressed explicitly in contract language rather than accepted as published.”
在公司资料中查看What are minimum volume requirements in carrier contracts?
“Minimum volume commitments are thresholds carriers use to protect revenue, and missing them can reduce discounts or trigger penalties. Set commitments on conservative volume projections rather than optimistic ones, especially for brands with seasonal spikes, so an off-peak dip does not cost you the rates you negotiated.”
