Shipping for Businesses
When business is booming, there’s nothing more important than having a reliable shipping solution for your products. If you want to reduce shipping costs and speed up delivery times, then it might be time to start thinking about with a 3PL that has experience shipping for businesses, like MoveIt®.
Finding a 3PL
As your business grows, new demands arise. How will you ship your products in bulk? What about shipping to other businesses? Do you need someone to unpack, set up your products, and remove debris? Tackling these questions alone can be incredibly difficult – especially if you’re busy managing or running a team.
That's where we come in.
At MoveIt®, we understand the nuances of shipping for busy commerce businesses. Depending on your shipping volume, we’ll assign you an experienced transportation expert to help you design an unbeatable logistics strategy. From small business shipping solutions to large scale rollouts, we have the tools and technology to get the job done.
Shipping Options
Depending on the size of your business and the makeup of your freight, we offer a variety of scalable shipping services to meet your needs. Before you choose a 3PL, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I need residential delivery for my product?
- Does my product require inside set up?
- What is my shipping volume? Is it enough to fill an entire truck?
- Is my shipment fragile? Will it require special handling and care?
- Do I need to ship internationally?
- What part of the shipping process is currently the most challenging?
If you’re unsure how to answer any of these questions, then it’s best to set up a free consultation with one of our transportation specialists. They’ll be able to help you find the best method of shipping for your items as well as a fast, free quote.
We often find that many of our customers are under the impression that standard packing and crating is their only option, or that they can’t afford a customized shipping strategy. They quickly learn, however, that every business (and every shipment) is unique! Just because you’ve always done something a certain way doesn’t mean it can’t be changed for the better. When we work with you, we’ll do a full analysis of your warehousing, distribution, and beyond.
Customized Shipping
No two shipping companies are the same, and when choosing one there are countless factors for you to consider. For example, if you choose a company that specializes in LTL but you need an air freight expert, they’re going to have a hard time fulfilling your needs. Choose your 3PL carefully! If you haven’t already, you should familiarize yourself with the various types of specialized shipping.
Blanket wrap trucking - also known as blanket wrap shipping - is one of our most popular shipping methods for small and large businesses with sensitive freight. If your shipment is fragile and requires extra care, this is your best (and safest) option. At MoveIt®, we use air ride vans to ensure that your shipment has the smoothest ride possible. Not only that, but we have one of the lowest incident claims ratios in the industry!
Did you know that MoveIt® was one of the first 3PLs to offer white glove shipping? Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be shipping fine art to make use of this specialized shipping service. In fact, many of our customers use white glove service to move lab equipment, music equipment, handmade goods and more! Our trained, two-person teams will give your shipment the attention it deserves.
From special handling to full truckload, LTL/Ground Freight can vary wildly depending on what you’re shipping.

B2B Shipping
There are lots of moving pieces when shipping products to another business. Loading, unloading, coordinating with staff, and ensuring that proper procedure is followed (on both ends) can cause major delays if orchestrated incorrectly. Not only that, but when emergency or expedited deliveries are required, the stakes are even higher!
There’s nothing more important than your shipment being on time, every time. Reliability is paramount. If you find that your shipments are taking longer or your delivery times are unpredictable, then it’s time to make a change.
Most of our customers ship B2B, and we absolutely love finding new ways to create new logistics strategies and streamline pickups and drop-offs. We also enjoy the challenges that often arise with final mile. For some customers, warehousing is one of the more complicated aspects of the supply chain, which is why we take pride in offering creative logistics solutions from start to finish.
Home Deliveries
When you have a product that needs to be delivered directly to a customer’s home, you need a shipping team that is respectful, punctual, and professional. Additionally, if your product requires inside set up, then the team needs to be able to exercise care when entering a customer’s home. Timely home deliveries make all the difference. Build trust with your customers with every delivery.
