Fedex Freight Forwarding
As an operations and business model, ship-from-store makes no sense at all. It just adds extra layers of handling and that adds up to costs. The only sense it makes is to use it to balance out-of-balance inventories that are in stores. Efficiency comes from consolidating inventory, automated picking and bulk shipping. Ship-from-store is contrary to all these steps.
Would love to see the shrink stats on these stores’ ship-from-store as those who feel disrespected, overwhelmed and isolated are the most likely to look the other way when customers or employees pilfer merchandise.
