Addressing Manufacturer’s Fears about Product Damage During Shipping and Handling

 lengthCustIn the world of manufacturing, ensuring products reach their destination in perfect condition is paramount. However, the fear of product damage during shipping and handling is a common concern among manufacturers. At Surface Armor, we understand these fears and are committed to providing solutions that mitigate risks and ensure peace of mind.

Understanding the Risks

Shipping and handling involve multiple stages, each presenting unique challenges. From loading and unloading to transportation and storage, products are exposed to various potential hazards. These can include:

– Physical Impact: Dropping, bumping, or stacking can cause dents, scratches, or breakage.
– Environmental Factors: Exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and contaminants can degrade product quality.
– Improper Handling: Mishandling by personnel can lead to accidental damage.

Statistics on Shipping Damage

Shipping damage is a significant issue in the logistics industry. According to recent data, approximately 1 in 10 eCommerce packages arrive damaged [Speed Commerce, “Avoid Damaged Packages During Shipping”]. Among major carriers, UPS has the highest percentage of damaged packages at 11%, followed by USPS at 10%, and FedEx at 7%. These statistics highlight the importance of robust protective measures to safeguard products during transit.
