Before you add tools this peak season, try walking 20 feet. Your biggest warehouse opportunities are often hiding in plain sight. Efficiency reveals itself when you watch the work up close. And small packing mistakes like oversized boxes, inconsistent SKU handling, and misplaced fast movers can quietly drain thousands each week through DIM-weight charges and reships. This week: -Right-size every box -Move your top sellers closer to pack stations -Add a second scale or printer to kill micro-bottlenecks -Post a visual packing guide so every packer packs the same way These low-tech fixes can drive high-impact efficiency.

If 91% of consumers actively track their packages, why send them away? Keep them on your site and turn your tracking pages into a conversion channel. It’s a small tweak that can have an outsized impact this peak season. Launch branded tracking pages, add a promo block, and automate updates (the Shippo Tracking API makes it easy) so your customers never need to ask “Where’s my order?” Get the full breakdown + all five last-minute optimizations for peak on the blog: https://lnkd.in/g_8QKEnu

Some insights are easy to see. Others only reveal themselves when you know where to look. Beyond the obvious KPIs, there’s a whole layer of metrics that quietly make or break your peak. Here are a few most brands overlook 👇 • Are certain ship days hurting you? Not all fulfillment days perform the same. If you spot slower deliveries on Fridays or weekends, adjust cutoff times or move promos earlier in the week. • Are we over-relying on certain service levels? When most of your shipments use the same speed, it’s harder to adapt when demand or carrier performance changes. A balanced mix keeps operations running smoothly and costs steady. • Are late deliveries rising, and why? Late shipments can signal carrier strain or fulfillment slowdowns. Shift volume away from underperforming carriers and reset delivery expectations in real time. • Are label prices creeping up, and where? Catch rate creep early before it erodes margin. Track trends by carrier and service level to see what’s driving costs. • Are failed deliveries quietly stacking up? Audit address accuracy and packaging workflows before they turn into customer complaints. The best operators don’t just track, they act. See all these metrics in Shippo Intelligence.

He had us at “I wish this was a paid post.” 👀 We power shipping for businesses of all sizes and love knowing that every shipment we power is for a real person on the other end. Most days, that means helping someone get what they ordered quickly and affordably. But sometimes, like in Gui Groscos’ story below, it means being there when things don’t go as planned and helping make it right. Huge thanks to Gui for sharing this story, and shoutout to our friends at CoverGenius for making the insurance magic happen.

“We’re flying blind once orders leave the warehouse.” Sound familiar? During peak, visibility isn’t just nice to have. It’s how leading brands protect margins, avoid delays, and deliver customer happiness at scale. But with thousands of shipments moving at once, which metrics actually matter most? Here are the top 3 shipping metrics you can’t afford to ignore this peak season, and what to do when the data starts to shift. 👉 Swipe through to learn more. P.S.
