We have some customers who sell very small and light items online and sometimes with a very low marketing value. How to incorporate logistics costs in this type of articles?

As we do with all customers, we consulted several logistics companies in Portugal to try to find who could provide us with solutions tailored to the needs of our customers.

Amazon has already realized the size of this market and since 2020 it includes in its logistics solutions the service of FBA Small and Light.

Our reality with the various operators in Portugal was different. They are not prepared for this small-volume market.

Parameterized price lists with minimum shipments of up to 2kg, greatly penalize these traders. And most of the proposals we receive are at this level.

We found some with minimum prices for shipments up to 1kg. But even so, in the case of our customers some of the shipments are in the 200 to 300 grams.

In the midst of all the proposals we received that best underoured our needs was kargo. In addition to having a minimum weight of the least penalizing, it has the characteristic of prices vary depending on the distance of the shipment.

The contacts between Kargo and Blairs have been developing for a long time and this is where we decided to work together.

The “cherry on top of the cake” was the Welcome Kit, we have already put many of our customers working with the most varied operators, I have never seen any receive this Welcome Kit!

We stayed before the first shipment with a certainty, Kargo is a carrier that is far ahead of its competition.
