Pick and Pack

Pick and pack distribution allows a business to outsource the distribution of products, eliminating the hassle and expenses of storing, packaging and shipping products. By outsourcing distribution, companies need less employees, and can cut back on overhead costs such as warehouse space. The cost of pick and pack is generally set as a percentage of the cost of the order. Companies can easily budget this percentage into their product cost to reach their desired margins. Working with an outsourced distributor allows shipments to be handled by an organized, experienced team which will ensure that products are shipped on time, and handled properly. Pick and pack allows for custom labeling to put on each individual product, and can be used to accommodate large daily orders, or small individual orders.

Most of the top complaints for online consumers are related to shipping. Either receiving the wrong product, receiving the product late, or sometimes not at all. In most cases when a consumer experiences any of these problems, they will take their business somewhere else in the future. This can be a large risk, and often times a headache, for a business owner that does not have experience in shipping. Shipping products daily can be time consuming, or if you hire someone to ship, expensive. Hiring employees to ship products also adds another element of management to the business. Pick and pack services specialize in shipping and have the management structure to run smoothly with no mistakes such as wrong orders, late orders, or orders never arriving.

Above all, pick and pack distribution is cost effective. Factoring the cost for pick and pack into the cost per product allows the business to easily set prices to reach their profit margin goals. Using pick and pack services eliminates the costs of warehouse space and extra employees.

Outsourcing distribution allows business owners to focus on all of the other important aspects of their company, without having to worry about the stresses of filling orders, and shipping products on time. Products move from manufacturer, to pick and pack warehouse, to the consumer without the business needing to worry, allowing more time and energy to focus on boosting sales.

Finding a pick and pack distributor can be done easily. There are companies across the world that offer pick and pack services. Some pick and pack distributors have a network of warehouses that hold product in various locations, which leads to the shortest possible shipping times.
