I want to ask about signing a shipping contract now that e-commerce is growing but the commissions are high.
E-commerce is booming, should I sign a shipping contract but commissions are high
i have experience with this gotta say: signing a shipping contract depends on a few factors but btw gathre the data first, don't make an emotional decision.
Another perspective: maybe the core issue with signing a shipping contract is something else entirely. Think about it like this...

But what's the real risk? If this choice is wrong, does the business shut down? I'm just saying, be very careful.

It's rare to find an explanation this clear. Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right.

Let me summarize the topic, since several different answers were given. Everyone rushing into signing a shipping contract gets stuck at the same point.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Do you think this works at any scale? Look where the bucket leaks; pouring water on top doesn't solve it.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
If I understood correctly youre saying: The biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.
This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

Saved. Changing habits is harder and more expensive than setting up a system.
When making decisions, write down the worst-case scenario too not just the best.
