- Wine shipping
The wine industry used to be limited by geography and relationships with retail outlets. However, wine e-commerce has greatly expanded the reach of vineyards and wineries around the world. This wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for reliable wine shipping services from carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL. While these companies generally do a good job with temperature controlled shipping, package tracking, and adult signature upon delivery, errors do occur. When the parcel is as sensitive as wine, even a small error can be costly. Worse, those errors and late deliveries harm customer relationships. While you can’t control what happens to your wine shipments once it is left with the carrier, you can choose the carrier and service which delivers the best results and make sure you don’t pay for mistakes when they do inevitably occur. Share a Refund allows wine ecommerce retailers to take better control of their alcoholic drinks shipping by providing free shipping analytics and automatically filing refund claims.

Powerful logistics add-on app
Wine shipping and supply chain management is much more complex and costly than for most other ecommerce industries. Your shipping policies must account for the price of adult signature upon delivery, state pairing regulations, temperature controlled shipping services, and the many customs delays that can happen with international special commodities shipping. Your transportation management software can help you better organize operations, but no TMS is perfect. To improve the functionality of your TMS and save you hours of time wasted on unnecessary paperwork, you need an add-on which can audit shipments and find refund opportunities. Share a Refund is a leading name in parcel auditing software because it finds more shipping than other apps. The free app files refund claims using a verification system that results in more refunds being awarded. Ecommerce retailers in the wine shipping industry can expect to save 2-6% on shipping just by claiming these FedEx, UPS, and DHL refunds. When you use Share a Refund free analytics to gain better insight to your vineyard or winery shipping characteristics, you can set shipping policies which will result in even more cost savings.
