Packing Supplies Volume Pricing vs Tier pricing
Bulk pricing of packing and shipping supplies simply means the more you order the more you will save. The quantity purchasing lowers the cost of shipping and most companies will relay the savings to their customers by offering discounts. One of the challenges of companies engaged in e-commerce and online sales is the shipping costs of the goods they’re selling. The shipping costs will be much lower if the buyers consolidated their purchases of shipping supplies to once or twice a month instead of ordering once a week. These savings add up at the end of the year to improve the bottom line of any business. Bulk pricing in general means increased purchase quantity will lower the cost per unit. The important part of bulk ordering is knowing the difference in the pricing strategy, which is either Tier Pricing or Volume Pricing:- Volume Pricing
- Tier Pricing
Tier | Product | Price Per Unit |
One | 25 Shipping Boxes | $10 |
Two | 100 Shipping Boxes | $8 |
Three | 500 Shipping Boxes | $6 |
Four | Pallet of 1000 Shipping Boxes | $4 |
- Manufacturer Discounts – Some manufacturers offer suppliers discounts with large orders. The suppliers are in a very competitive market and need to lower their price per unit costs. To stay ahead of the competition, they will, in turn, transfer the discounts to the buyers.
- Shipping Costs – This discount is more thru shipping supplies companies since the profit margin is very low and there is not much room for discounts. Bulk ordering or ordering by pallets is a great way to pay less for your shipping costs. The packing experts at StarBoxes are available to quote any bulk or pallet order for shipping supplies.
- Processing Costs – Processing each order is time-consuming and costly but requires less time per unit to process larger orders. This is another reason to order your bulk shipping supplies from the StarBoxes and enjoy the discounts.
