Outsmarting Rising Shipping Costs

As a company that sells many large, bulky products, we're certainly feeling the pinch of ever-rising shipping costs. To balance the cost, we're working on designing more basket collections with complementary pieces that nest together for shipping.

When possible, we recommend that you try out this mentality when ordering, too. All that empty space inside a large basket is very expensive these days! Whether you choose smaller baskets or a variety of small goods, your bottom line will benefit by filling up the space inside large baskets.

In the video below, Christine demonstrates how three nested baskets can easily fit into the same space as one. If you're feeling the need to solve this problem, too, we're always happy to chat about how to make the best use of shipping space inside boxes.
