Overall Benefits of Shipping Hundredweight If you meet the service requirements, these specialty offerings can come with big advantages. Here are the top benefits of using this mid-range shipping service. 1. Cost savings: It is naturally more cost-effective to ship fewer shipments. UPS and FedEx systems, once activated, have pricing logic that will be applied to your account. The logic will provide you lower shipping rate (standard vs. specialty service) based on its automated calculations. FedEx also promotes that many surcharges are capped, with the Multweight service offering significantly lower fees than an LTL shipment with accessorial fees.2. Time management: If you are packaging up LTL shipments that could qualify for hundredweight, you'll free up time by switching. Both hundredweight services don't require palletization or extra packaging. 3. Streamlined processing: Combining multiple shipments will lower processing time and fees. 4. Reliable tracking: With fewer overall shipments, shippers will have fewer tracking numbers and more consistent delivery accuracy.
