Benefits of shipping nationwide

Expand your market by shipping nationwide

Many benefits await when e-commerce businesses can ship nationwide whenever they need to. The first and obvious one is reaching a broader customer base. If your products are only available in Metro Manila and cannot ship nationwide, you're limiting your business opportunities. But if you're able to ship nationwide, you can open up your business to customers all over the country.

Build trust and loyalty with your customers

Shipping nationwide expands the services you can cater to your customers. When they see that you're able to ship nationwide, they will know that you're a reliable business. This is especially important for the new ones who are still establishing their respective customer bases.

Grow your revenue

Another benefit of being able to ship nationwide is growth. And what's the most basic form of growth? Revenue. Unless your product is necessary, you will need to find ways to continue growing your customer base. And one of the best ways is to ship nationwide to reach new markets.

Challenges of shipping nationwide

Inconsistent pickups and delivery times

Couriers aren't perfect, and sometimes they make mistakes. These can lead to inconsistent pickups and delivery times, frustrating businesses that need their products to be shipped nationwide and delivered on time.

Higher shipping rates

Shipping nationwide can be more expensive than shipping within Metro Manila. This is because couriers must travel further distances to reach their destination, which means they will need to charge more for their services.

Unpredictable delivery tracking

Tracking your shipments can be important for businesses to know where their products are at all times. But when it comes to nationwide shipping, delivery tracking can be unpredictable since many different variables can affect it. For example, when you ship nationwide, your package may have to go through multiple ports, and often these ports can't process a lot of packages at once, which can lead to delays.

Extreme weather conditions

Shipping nationwide in extreme weather conditions can affect your shipments. For instance, if you're shipping nationwide during the rainy season, there's a higher chance that your shipment will be delayed or lost due to flooding. And during the typhoon season, nationwide shipping can be challenging since couriers have to take different routes to avoid areas affected by the typhoon.

Overall, shipping nationwide has its corresponding benefits and challenges. But if you can ship nationwide, trust us - it's worth it. You might encounter some mishaps along the way, for no courier is perfect. But one thing's for sure! All these couriers are continuously working to improve and upgrade their services, especially to make nationwide shipping faster and more efficient for e-commerce businesses like yours.
