Reusable Shipping Crates

Reusable Shipping CratesMany of us remember the days of returning the glass Coca Cola bottles for the deposit we paid on the front end. Getting a reusable shipping crate back can work the same. The one big difference is that your reusable crates and packing materials are worth more than just a few cents. Verbally tell your customers that you are moving on from a disposable system to a more environmentally friendly, reusable system. Let them know that they will be charged for the crate on their invoice, and upon returning it; they will be credited for the reusable shipping crate. These charges need to be clear on the invoice, with its own separate line item. Everybody is feeling the push to use sustainable products. Few will argue with a company that is honestly trying to do its part.

Your customers will appreciate your efforts, and will work with you to get that packaging back. No president or CEO is going to raise a ruckus about saving money on disposal costs, either!
