In his current role, Chandler helps businesses optimize their small parcel shipping and builds lasting relationships with every customer he works with. “I want to work with people I’d call friends,” he says. “For me, it’s all about the relationship.”

A single extra ounce could be costing you more than you think.

How Small Increases Cost Big Money
Just one extra ounce can push a package into a higher rate bracket.

Higher weight = higher shipping costs = smaller margins.

The Cost of an Extra Ounce
How much does it really cost?
- Under 1 lb (First-Class USPS): A few cents more per ounce.
- Over 1 lb (Priority/UPS/FedEx): Jumps in quarter-pound brackets, adding $1-$5 per shipment.

The Cost of Size:
Dimensional Weight (DIM Weight):
- Carriers charge based on size & weight.
- A larger box (even if light) can be priced as heavier due to space taken up in transport.

How to Avoid Overpaying:
Use the right box size – Don't ship air.
- Consider lightweight materials – Reduce unnecessary weight.
- Audit your shipments – Spot where you're overpaying.
- Check carrier rate tiers – A minor change can save thousands.

Slide 5: Pro Tip & CTA
- Pro Tip: Regularly review your packaging & carrier rates to cut costs without cutting quality.

eHub Analytics helps you spot weight discrepancies, dimensional adjustments, and overcharges so you can eliminate unnecessary fees and keep shipping costs low.
