Are You Losing Profit on Every International Order Without Realising It?
International orders are exciting.
A customer from the USA places an order.
A boutique in Canada wants your collection.
A buyer from the UK wants your samples.
But there’s one question every growing business should ask:
“How much profit am I actually keeping after shipping?”
Many exporters and online businesses focus heavily on product pricing but overlook international shipping costs.
And sometimes, a small difference in courier charges can quietly become a big annual expense.
💰 Let's understand with a simple example.
Suppose your business sends 100 international shipments every month.
If you're paying just ₹200 more per shipment than a better available rate:
₹200 × 100 = ₹20,000/month
That's:
₹2,40,000 per year.
That money could have been invested back into your business.
📦 What Can Increase Your Shipping Cost?
Several factors can affect the final courier cost:
1. Chargeable Weight
Your actual weight and volumetric weight may differ.
2. Package Dimensions
Large packaging can increase volumetric weight.
3. Destination
Different countries and delivery locations can have different shipping costs.
4. Shipment Type
Documents, samples, personal shipments and commercial shipments may have different requirements.
5. Courier Service
Different services can offer different combinations of price, speed and coverage.
6. Additional Charges
Applicable surcharges or destination-related charges can affect the overall cost.
🚨 The Biggest Mistake?
Simply accepting your current courier rate because:
“We've always shipped at this rate.”
Your business changes.
Your shipment volume changes.
Your destinations change.
Your shipping requirements change.
So your courier strategy should change too.
🧠 SMART BUSINESSES DON'T JUST ASK:
“What's the cheapest courier?”
They ask:
“What's the most suitable and cost-effective option for my shipment?”
Because the cheapest option isn't always the best option.
You need to consider:
Rate + Service + Destination + Delivery Requirement + Reliability
👗 Especially Important for Suit & Garment Businesses
If you're sending suits, garments, samples or fashion products internationally, shipping can become a major part of your total order cost.
Your product may be competitively priced.
But if shipping makes the final customer bill too high…
You could lose the order before it even becomes a sale.
That's why international shipping should be treated as a business strategy, not just a delivery expense.
✅ BEFORE YOUR NEXT INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENT
Ask yourself:
☑️ Is my chargeable weight correct?
☑️ Is my packaging unnecessarily large?
☑️ Am I getting a competitive courier rate?
☑️ Have I compared different shipping options?
☑️ Is shipping affecting my profit margin?
☑️ Have I reviewed my rates recently?
If you haven't checked these recently…
Maybe it's time to check.
