The Real Cost of Inefficient Shipping (and What Smart Ecommerce Brands Do Instead)

By Proglo Shipping May 5, 2025

You’ve built a thriving ecommerce business. The products? Dialed in. The demand? Scaling fast. The vision? Bigger than ever. But behind the growth… something’s quietly slowing you down. It’s not your marketing. It’s not your storefront. It’s not even your supply chain. It’s your shipping.

The Hidden Friction That’s Draining Your Growth

  • You miss a cheaper rate you didn’t know was available.
  • A label prints incorrectly—and support takes 36 hours to respond.
  • Your shipping software freezes on launch day (again).
  • Wrong tracking numbers frustrate loyal customers.
  • You overpay hundreds or thousands per month.
  • Your team wastes hours flipping between systems.

Here’s the hard truth: Inefficient shipping doesn’t just cost you money. It costs you momentum.

What Inefficiency Actually Looks Like in the Real World

1. You’re Losing Profit on Every Label

Without a rate comparison tool, you default to familiar options. Proglo users save up to 20% using our automated cost-effective selections.

2. You’re Wasting Time on Tasks You Shouldn’t Be Doing

Manual glitches, poor UX, and constant toggling eat into your team’s time. That’s time better spent on growth.

3. Your Customer Experience Is Suffering

Shipping delays and mismatches erode trust, even when your product is excellent.
