Leverage data and consolidation to optimize your delivery spend.

The Challenge of Large Order Shipping

For businesses placing substantial orders, whether for manufacturing, inventory restocking, or large-scale projects, freight costs can quickly escalate from a line item into a major budgetary concern. Traditional, unstructured shipping methods often lead to paying more than necessary. At LitBuy Shipping, we empower you with two core strategies to regain control: intelligent weight trackingconsolidated shipping.

Strategy 1: Master Weight-Based Pricing with Your Spreadsheet

Most freight carriers use a dimensional weight (DIM weight)

Actionable Steps:

  • Create a Master Tracking Sheet:
  • Item SKU/Description
  • Carton Dimensions (Length, Width, Height in inches/cm)
  • Actual Weight per carton
  • Calculated DIM Weight per carton
  • Final Chargeable Weight (max of Actual vs. DIM)
  • Automate Calculations:(LxWxH)/139
  • Pre-Quotation Accuracy:

    This data-driven approach turns guessing into precise forecasting.

    • Strategy 2: Unlock Savings with Consolidated Shipping

    Consolidated shipping (or freight consolidation) is the process of combining multiple smaller shipments from one or multiple suppliers into a single, larger shipment destined for the same location.
