Shipping costs rarely spike overnight. They build up quietly across dozens of small decisions: box sizes, weight thresholds, carrier rules, and packing workflows. This checklist is designed to surface those hidden inefficiencies and turn them into clear, fixable actions.

Unlike the shipping strategy checklist, which helps you define direction and priorities, this checklist is built for execution. It breaks your operations down into specific audits and tasks you can work through section by section, based on where you’re losing the most money today.

Use it to pressure-test your current setup, uncover missed savings, and systematically reduce costs across packaging, carriers, and fulfillment.
