3. Extra care while shipping large number of items.
Shipping large number of items can be a tedious task. So, in order to reduce the workload, it is important for a business to take extra care while shipping them. You can also consider using services being offered at Shiply which is more efficient for larger amounts of items.
Packing: The materials and packing material used for wrapping the items should be durable and long lasting. The amount of items should also be less so that there is more space in the package and everything fits well.
The packaging material should have enough room to accommodate any damages or breakages that might happen during transit.

4. Cost consideration while shipping multiple items
Shipping fees can be reduced when you combine your shipping weight, so consider combining the items you are shipping if they are not fragile.
We have to consider factors like shipment size and weight, shape and package size before we decide to ship multiple items. We also need to take into account that some items may be too big or heavy for our carrier or require an oversized package.
We should always try to combine as many packages as possible with the same carrier, so we can get a better price break on our shipping costs.
