Most shipping decisions aren’t wrong. They’re just not totally right. The right carrier, just not for that shipment. The right service level, just slightly too fast. The right packaging, just a little off. Individually, these decisions look fine. But across thousands of shipments, they quietly turn into real cost, performance issues, and missed opportunities. At EasyPost, we’ve processed billions of shipments across 100+ carriers. And when you look at that volume of data, patterns start to emerge. The biggest cost drivers aren’t always obvious. They show up in small, everyday decisions that are almost right but just not quite there. In this session, we’ll break down the specific areas where companies are consistently losing money when they don’t need to be. More importantly, we’ll show you how to tighten those decisions so your operation runs more efficiently without adding complexity or slowing things down.
