Customer Reviews

Not too technical, just very helpful,

Easy to read, easy to understand and extremely informative. Not only does this book appear to be a key resource for "industry types" but it's also a must read for any small or midsize business owner that ships on a regular basis. What business owners don't know can cost them money and Mark Taylor quickly provides the reader with the inside line on shipping pitfalls and best practices. This book will improve your business and save you money.

I'm saving money I didn't even know I was losing

This book won't walk you through the technical aspects of a WMS or ERP system. In fact, on the first read the information seems very basic. However, after reviewing several of the chapters, I can say it does provide excellent guidance for creating a more effective shipping operation. If every shipping clerk and shipping manager in your company could read this book you'd create a dynamic team focused on elimating mistakes, reducing delays and saving money...money you probably don't even know you are losing.

Extremely Helpful

While shipping of packages is important to so many businesses, it's getting more complicated every day. The author has done his homework and explains the many advantages of a computerized shipping system in clear terms. This is also a consumer-oriented book: you learn what NOT to do. I like the honesty and passion of the author. He's packed a lot into a concise book; share it with staff at all levels of your business. At 25 bucks, what a bargain.

Very useful book that every shipping manager should read!

This book really explains what to look out for if you are in the market for a shipping system and how a carrier supplied shipping system can actually cost you money instead of saving it. Easy to read and easy to understand for everyone.

Required reading for any company that ships small packages!

This book was great. It was easy to read and made a new and sometimes complicated subject understandable. I would recommend this book to any person that has anything to do with the shipping process at their company. It is full of practical ideas that can make things easier and save the company money.
