ReadyShipper shipping software now offers the special discounted pricing for USPS Priority Mail Cubic shipping rates. The USPS priority mail cubic pricing is a new program that offers rates based on the volume of the box, instead of the weight. As long as the weight is less than 20 pounds and the volume less than .5 cubic feet, the package is eligible for cubic pricing. The USPS Priority Mail Cubic shipping option is a great option for small, but heavy packages and can save your business lots of money if your packages fall into one of the following Tier options.

The pricing breakdown follows the basic formula laid out by USPS for their different tiers:

Length X Width X Height / 1728 = Cubic Feet

The USPS rounds all measurements down to the nearest .25 inch for the cubic feet calculations.

• Tier 1 pricing = packages up to .10 cubic foot
• Tier 2 pricing = packages from .10 to .20 cubic foot
• Tier 3 pricing = packages from .20 to .30 cubic foot
• Tier 4 pricing = packages from .30 to .40 cubic foot
• Tier 5 pricing = packages from .40 to .50 cubic foot

Here’s an example of how to calculate the cubic tier measurement for your rectangular and nonrectangular packages:

Measure the length, width and height of your package in inches. Round each measurement down to the nearest .25 inch. For example, a length of 6.10 inches would be rounded down to 6 inches exactly or 5.85 inches would be rounded down to 5.75 inches.

Then, simply multiply the length by the width by the height and divide that number by 1728. If the package were 5 x 6.25 x 5.75, then it would be 5 x 6.25 x 5.75 / 1728 = .103. This would fall into the Tier 2 pricing for USPS Priority Mail Cubic Pricing.

Are your sales people spending too much time on the phone handling returns? Owning and operating an online business means dealing with returns. It’s inevitable. Returns happen, especially in ecommerce, for a number of different reasons: the product may be slightly different than they looked on the website, customers change their mind and no longer want the product, and some consumers purchase different colors/sizes and return what they don’t want.

Time is money. And, time you’re spending on the phone handling a return could result in a lost sales opportunity. Be more effective and efficient in your returns management and you won’t have to worry about missing out on new sales.

Here’s some ways to improve your returns process:

1. Be very clear in your return policy. Make sure your customers know what products can be returned, what the acceptable reasons for returns are, how long they have to return them, who pays for the return shipping and if you charge any restocking or returns fees. A clear and up front return policy will help avoid confusion and frustration on both ends. The customer will be comfortable and confident that they can purchase from your online store for the first time knowing they can return or exchange the product if they don’t like it. And your sales and customer service representatives will not have to take the time to answer questions about the return policy as often and they will be able to point to the clear policies online if there is a disagreement.

2. Inform your customers as often as possible that they can go to the company website and learn about the return policy. This will drive traffic back to your website; you may convert a return into an exchange, and it may lead to additional items sold.

3. Make sure that outbound emails or shipments to your customers include informational material about the return policy. This will give customers a sense of security. You’re letting them know that they can exchange or return the product without having to jump through hoops. This also significantly reduces the number of calls to your business from customers simply trying to learn about your return policy.

4. Implement an online return solution that will allow the customer to create and print a return shipping label from the comfort of their own home. Online returns also give your company better visibility and let you know the minute a return shipping label is created and used.

5. Use social media to your advantage and let your customers know that if they want to exchange or return a product they can go to the company website and create a return shipping label. You can also use your social media avenues to promote your business and create a following. There are many studies that have found easy and convenient returns lead to more repeat customers so once you have a clear return policy on your website, you should promote it with confidence as a value to your customers and potential customers.

6. Use an online messaging service that will allow your customers to chat directly with your sales or customer services representatives, instead of calling. It will also prepare your sales people in case the customer has to call in.

Handling returns can turn into a full time job. Make sure your people are prepared with the right tools and ready to handle any product return scenario. The tips provided above can be applied to the returns process for any size company.

Here’s how it works. Let’s say your item descriptions are too long to fit on the customs documentation for some carriers. Rather than manually shorten your descriptions every time they become a problem, you can look to ReadyShipper’s Cook Book. The Cook Book contains a list of Recipes that can perform a wide range of tasks. If you need your descriptions shortened to less than 60 characters automatically, a recipe can do that. Or let’s say your business has weights that may be slightly padded on eBay, we have a recipe to clear the weights you have in eBay during import and replace them with the unit weights you set in ReadyShipper. This gives your shipping software the power to be tailored to your needs.

The Recipe feature was added to offer ReadyShipper users some added customization and automation options. It is a new feature that will certainly evolve and grow with each new recipe that is created. We want to hear about your ideas for recipes. We will eventually offer the ability to create your own recipes, but that feature currently is not enabled. To get a quote on your recipe, submit a detailed email outlining the scenario your business would like to simplify or automate to trueship.sales@trueship.com.
