5 Proven Ways to Reduce Logistics Costs for Your Online Business in 2025

Introduction

In 2025, competition among D2C brands is at an all-time high. Your profits depend on how much you save per shipment. Shipping smarter, not just cheaper, is the key.

At BabaExpress, we’ve helped 1,000s of sellers reduce their shipping cost by 15–40% using smart strategies.

Here are 5 proven ways to save big:

1. Compare Courier Rates in Real-Time

Instead of sticking with one courier, BabaExpress lets you:

  • View multiple courier charges
  • See estimated delivery dates
  • Choose based on weight, region, and service

💡 Sellers save ₹5–₹25 per order this way.

2. Optimize Volumetric Weight

Carriers charge based on dimensional weight.

With BabaExpress:

  • You get packaging suggestions
  • Auto-calculators to predict actual vs. charged weight
  • Reduce packaging waste

3. Reduce RTO (Return to Origin)

RTO is a silent profit killer.

How we help:

  • 📍 Highlight risky PIN codes
  • 🚫 Block orders from frequent returners
  • 🔄 Enable OTP verification & address checks

Our sellers have reduced RTO by 22% on average.

4. Take Advantage of First-Mile Pickup

By eliminating the cost of transport to courier hubs:

  • You save manpower
  • Avoid unnecessary packaging damage
  • Improve your turnaround time

5. Use a Logistics Aggregator — Like BabaExpress

Instead of signing with multiple courier companies:

  • One KYC
  • One dashboard
  • One invoice for everything
  • Dedicated support team
