How Do I Minimize Breakage in Shipping?
Breakage is the silent profit killer in wholesale glass pipes. Early in my career, I lost big to damaged shipments.
I invest heavily in custom foam packaging, double-boxing, and reinforced materials. More importantly, my photo-to-credit breakage policy makes customers feel secure, boosting loyalty and cutting disputes sharply.
How Packaging & Policy Work Together:
- Custom Inserts: Precision foam cuts secure each piece snugly.
- Double Boxing: Adds shock absorption during transit.
- Clear After-Sales Policy: Customers send breakage photos; I issue credit fast.
- LA Warehouse Stock: Shorter shipping distance means fewer handling points and lower breakage risk.
In my second year, I had a $15,000 shipment arrive 40% damaged due to poor packaging. That expensive lesson taught me that investing in proper protection upfront saves massive costs later. Now our breakage rate is under 2%.
