Costs of shipping are complex and ever changing.  Apart from the standard shipping and handling best practices, Direct Sellers often require more customization and flexibility when it comes to MLM shipping and handling.  Having a back-office software for MLM with shipping that can keep up with these changes and enables you to leverage these changes to offer competitive shipping prices is essential. Watch in the video below as Jerry Reynolds, President of Trinity Software, gives a detailed MLM shipping definition and discusses the specific needs for MLM shipping management systems:

Shipping can be calculated many different way – by weight, by value of an order, by size or by a set amount of your choosing. No matter how you decide to assign shipping rates, having an MLM shipping management software that is configurable is key. Click here for a quick refresher on How MLM Software Works for Logistics.  If you choose to assign shipping value based on the weight of the product ordered, then a product that is a liquid like shampoo, though inexpensive, can carry a hefty shipping rate because of its weight. Your back-office software for MLM with shipping has to have the capability to be configured in a way that you are able to adjust the shipping price for that one specific product on a case by case basis.  It's important that your system can determine which of the best rates you can qualify for so you can keep your shipping prices reasonable.

Another advanced capability that you should look for with regards to MLM shipping management is the ability to assign handling fees. Your system should be able to assess the handling needed for each product and automatically add the handling charge to each order. This can include fees for boxes, warehouse fees or any extra handling cost your business incurs during the shipping process.

Making sure that your MLM shipping management system is configurable can save you a lot of programming headaches down the road. When MLM shipping issues come up or shipping and handling prices change, your system should be able to go with the flow without the need for custom coding or programming. Making changes to your shipping software on MLM sales should be simple and easy to change as needed.
