How have rising shipping costs

 affected your business?

Here’s what PPMN members are saying:

“Because of rising shipping costs, I hesitate to send anything with expedited freight.  Now, if a client needs a sample overnight, I will ask for their shipper number so that we don't have to absorb that cost.”

“In our business model, shipping costs have obviously increased and we do add on a small percentage to freight on our invoices. What the rising costs have done is make our clients more diligent in reviewing the freight costs and questioning them. So we now find certain clients regularly questioning the freight costs on their invoices and asking us to verify those costs. That in turn creates mistrust which is never a good thing.”
