      How to Optimize Your Order

      Sunday, March 28, 2021

      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 1200 - 500 lbs.
      Tier 2501 - 1,000 lbs.
      Tier 31,001 - 2,500 lbs.
      Tier 42,501 - 5,000 lbs.
      Tier 55,001 - 7,500 lbs.
      Tier 67,501 - 10,000 lbs.
      Tier 710,001 - 15,000 lbs.
      Tier 815,000+ lbs.

      Keep these things in mind when building your order:

      • Because shipping costs are tiered by weight, larger orders will generally have lower shipping rates per pound.
      • Consolidating smaller orders into larger, heavier orders will reduce overall shipping costs.
      • Stagger when you order malt, wine kits, or other higher density items to increase your total weight per order.
      • Placing larger orders will also allow you to take advantage of the volume discounts offered on many of the products that we stock.

      TL;DR: To optimize your shipping costs, order at least 500 lbs of product weight to unlock Tier 2+ shipping prices.
