Shipping Lines

Ever since the first steam ship crossed the Atlantic in 1783, people have become fascinated by what shipping lines do. By 1833 the three major shipping lines in England were travelling from England to its territories in Canada and India!

Shipping Internationally


Since more and more small businesses are shipping internationally, there are companies that offer low rate prices on the items that will be shipped. The way this works is that the business mails the item through the regular mail system, and then the package goes to the warehouse where they are able to ship the package out to anywhere in the world. This will be a lower cost alternative when using European logistics as it can be a slower method of delivery for the product.

Another Great Way To Save Money On Shipping

Another way for small businesses to save money overseas is to request free boxes from the shipping company instead of purchasing the boxes from a shop, and then paying the shipping costs on top of it. At least this way it will cut out the cost of the actual package and you will only need to pay to actually ship the item.

Cost Effective Shipping Methods


If a box that is able to house several items in a flat rate box, and one needs to ship three small items that would fit in one box rather than three, it is more cost effective to use the one box instead of paying the shipping on three separate flat rate boxes. This is an extremely useful method when a customer orders multiple items from the small business. In this case, it would cut the cost by two thirds.
