Overhead Costs in Wine Shippers Business

By Joe Maldonado


Apparently the wine shippers seem to be the perfect money making businessmen but in reality there are so many hidden costs involve in their wine shipping business which lessen their overall profits. You may have seen many complaints from the wine consumers about the wine shippers that they normally charge outrageous amounts. Maybe you also protest about their charges for wine shipment. In both cases you must read this article to comprehend the actual hidden costs associated with this seemingly lucrative business.

First of all no need to blame the consumers at all because this is their right to seek the best available price in the market. But the eye opener point is that they don't realize the hidden costs involved in the wine shippers business. They only apply the formula of the total weight of the wine bottles to calculate the shipment costs. Let's take an example of an order of wine shipment which is of hundred cans and weighs about 100 pounds plus minus. Now would it be nice to calculate the wine shipment cost based on its weight only? Would it be nice to ignore all other factors which plays pivotal role in determining the overall cost of the wine shipment? Certainly not as there are certain other factors that ignite the overhead costs of wine shippers business.

Note down that the wine shippers also have to pay for the courier charges such as the FedEx or UPS courier charges. These courier charges are certainly not same everywhere because they are calculated on the basis of the distance as well. These are the hidden charges but they are part and parcel of any wine shipping business. Moreover, the courier companies have different formulas to calculate the shipment costs of wine cartons. They have their predetermined fixed weight rates and if the wine shippers try to load extra weight than their limits then they would charge additional $50 on each shipment package. Just imagine that for a large order, how much this cost would increase.

As you also know very well that to preserve the wine quality they are double boxed with additional coverings such as the glass doors with movable legs and this additional box protection would also be weighed along with the wine bottles weight and the overall cost of the wine shipment would be increased as well.

In the light of above facts and figures, you could easily determine that there are absolute hidden costs involved in the wine shippers business and the wine shippers also have to take care of these costs. Moreover, it's extremely difficult to survive in this competitive environment because the retailers also exercise multifarious strategies to give best price to the wine shippers. Hence if you were running your mouth against the outrageous costs of the wine shippers then you must be aware about their hidden overhead costs. I am sure that as a neutral person, you would give full marks to the tough wine shippers business.
