Inbound Shipment Management from Business Logistics:

Why are inbound shipments unique? It's because companies don't usually have the same kinds of controls over them as they do for their outbound shipments. In fact, many companies pay very little attention to inbound freight even though it is a critical and costly part of their business.

When you leave shipping choices up to your vendors, you really have no control over the inflow and freight charges related to your goods and materials, which can lead to production delays, stock shortages, late deliveries, unhappy customers, and higher costs for your company.

There is no such thing as "Free Freight"! Vendors often reap extra profits for themselves by building excess freight and handling charges into their delivered, prepay-and-add, and "bundled" product prices. And, when they do negotiate reduced freight rates and better discounts, they often don't pass the savings on to their customers. Furthermore, if your purchases are made on a freight collect basis, you may not be effectively leveraging your own company's buying power to get the lowest freight rates possible.

Always remember that you are the customer and you have the right to determine the freight terms and shipping arrangements that are best for your company. And, we'll help you get there by evaluating your freight terms, your shipment volumes, the competitive environment and your alternatives to recommend the purchasing terms that are best for your company.
