Beyond Mail and Into Efficient Ground-Based Logistics
RA is excited to announce a completely new shipping service designed to go beyond traditional mail logistics: RA Multiweight Shipping. Created to meet the needs of clients with various business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) logistics requirements, this solution provides a streamlined and cost-effective way to ship multiple packages as a single shipment to the same destination. Whether your shipments are heading to the contiguous U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, or even Canada, RA’s Multiweight Shipping opens up savings and simplifications for ground-based logistics.
With Multiweight Shipping, clients who have multiple packages moving to a single location on the same day can now access substantial shipping savings and simplify drop-ship logistics. Here’s how the RA Multiweight solution makes shipping easier and more efficient:
Key Benefits of RA Multiweight Shipping
- Automatic Rate Savings: You’ll automatically be invoiced at the lowest possible rate, either the single-piece rate or the Ground Multiweight rate—whichever is more cost-effective.
- Simple Preparation: Shipments can be prepared just like regular Ground packages. There’s no need for special handling, allowing you to integrate this solution effortlessly into your existing workflows.
- Fast, Reliable Delivery: RA Multiweight packages get the same delivery commitment as other Ground-based shipments, with delivery within 1-5 business days across the contiguous U.S. and 3-7 business days to Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada.
- Reduced Labor and Dock Costs: With no palletizing, shrink-wrapping, sorting, staging, or segregating required, you save on labor and dock costs, reducing the effort and expenses associated with shipment preparation.
- Inside Delivery with No Hidden Costs: For business-to-business shipments, RA Multiweight includes inside delivery at no extra charge. This feature eliminates unexpected fees, giving you a transparent, budget-friendly shipping experience.
- Unified Tracking: Each Multiweight shipment can be tracked using a single master tracking number, giving you real-time visibility over the entire shipment’s progress without needing to check multiple tracking numbers.
Ideal Use Cases for RA Multiweight Shipping
RA Multiweight is especially beneficial for shipments with the following characteristics:
- Package Weights: Average package weight should be between 15 and 25 lbs., with a maximum package weight of 150 lbs.
- Dimensions: Packages can measure up to 108 inches in length and up to 165 inches in length and girth combined.
- Shipment Weight Requirements: Total shipment weight must reach 200 lbs. or more to qualify for the RA Multiweight discount.
Why Choose RA Multiweight for Non-Mail Logistics?
Unlike RA’s traditional USPS destination entry discounts for palletized mail, RA Multiweight Shipping is specifically designed for any ground-based shipping scenario. That means if you have a large volume of individual packages going to a single address—whether for retail distribution, wholesale deliveries, or any other B2B or B2C need—RA Multiweight is here to streamline and save. Best of all, the solution isn’t restricted to mail logistics! So when you have expanded shipping needs beyond mail, RA Multiweight is the perfect service to reduce costs and simplify logistics.
