eCommerce Shipping Strategy that Protects Profit
We turn complex shipping data into simple, actionable decisions
Boost eCommerce Shipping Profitability with Data Analytics
Shipping should be a growth engine, not a profit killer. But confusing fee structures, hidden losses, and free shipping policies can quietly drain margins.
eCommerce business owners don’t easily know:
❌ True product/average order profit after shipping
❌ Which zones, weights, or shipping methods drain profits
❌ The true impact of 3PL fees on their margins
❌ How free shipping actually contributes to the overall business profits
At Opposite of Work, we help eCommerce businesses stop guessing and start using their shipping data to increase profitability. We help you take control with expert consulting, advanced analytics, and custom dashboards that track true shipping profit.
About Shipping Profitability Services
At Opposite of Work, we work with fast-growing eCommerce businesses to reduce wasteful expense, increase transparency, and use shipping as a strategic advantage.
Why your shipping profit and loss matters
Website traffic - search engines and marketplaces consider shipping rates in their ranking algorithms.
Website conversion rate - customers will consider the full price of an order, product, and shipping price when they buy or bounce.
You may be overpaying for shipping without realizing it.
You may be losing money on certain shipping methods or vendors.
There may be missed opportunities to improve margins through better vendor and method selection.
Your website shipping settings may be inaccurate leading to profit leaks.
Our Shipping Profit & Loss Dashboard is offered through our Data Services. Using a shipping dashboard is one of the fastest ways to regain control over your margins.
