High shipping costs, non-availability of COD, delivery lags, tracking failure are some of the issues which most e-tailers face on a day to day basis. This issue gets compounded with manual operations and in dealing with multiple courier partners. Shiprocket is not only a smart solution but also very economical for big for small scale retailers says Gautam Kapoor, COO of KartRocket. Apart from the most obvious benefits of low shipping rates, the automation sorting of a generally cumbersome shipping process helps merchants gain peace of mind when it comes to shipping their orders. - No minimum commitment on number of shipments or billing: sorting helps merchants save on every order they fulfill and helps increase the bottom line. - Integrations: ShipRocket is pre-integrated with leading domestic and international courier companies. The system automatically checks the PIN code for the shipment and displays courier providers available. sorting Waybill numbers are instantly assigned and a shipping and COD label in the right format is available for printing. The merchant simply has to choose the courier company, print a label, stick it on their box and then generate a pickup. The rest is all automated. - COD collection: through its logistics partners ShipRocket collects COD from several sorting providers consolidate sorting all of them together and reimburse the same to the client. The same can prove to be challenging for a small to medium sized e-tailer. Approximate cost of Shipping: ShipRocket charges a very basic quarterly recurring platform rent and discounted shipping rates. So, for example you are shipping a 500gms order from Mumbai to Delhi, the cost will be approximately Rs. 28 (base shipping rate) + Rs. 14 (fuel Surcharge) + Service tax Rs. 5, so in approximately Rs. 48 one can ship a 500gms order between Indian metros. Benefits of Shipping with different courier partners at once: ShipRocket empanels 5 domestic courier company and 2 international courier company.
