In January 2021, BSG launched our newly developed Transportation Management System (TMS) to stabilize the trend of increasing freight costs and keep freight affordable for our customers in the long term.
We wanted to provide our customers with some helpful tips on optimizing your order to efficiently cut down on your shipping costs.
Our TMS system calculates shipping costs based on weight, not by order dimensions or number of pallets. The shipping costs use the following weight tiers. Upon reaching each tier, your shipping rate per pound will be reduced:
Price Per Pound Tier | Weight |
Tier 1 | 200 - 500 lbs. |
Tier 2 | 501 - 1,000 lbs. |
Tier 3 | 1,001 - 2,500 lbs. |
Tier 4 | 2,501 - 5,000 lbs. |
Tier 5 | 5,001 - 7,500 lbs. |
Tier 6 | 7,501 - 10,000 lbs. |
Tier 7 | 10,001 - 15,000 lbs. |
Tier 8 | 15,000+ lbs. |
