A Smarter Shipping Approach
Is Your Business Paying More Than It Needs to for Shipping?
Retail courier bookings are often designed for individual senders. Businesses shipping regularly may be eligible for different pricing arrangements based on volume, destination, package details, and service availability.
Limited Rate Visibility
Checking courier options separately can take time. A structured comparison helps you review prices under comparable shipment conditions.
Growing Dispatch Requirements
As order volume grows, you need a shipping arrangement that fits your workflow, delivery destinations, package types, and operating budget.
Why Business Shipping?
A Shipping Approach Designed Around Your Business
Sona Business Shipping is intended for businesses that send parcels regularly and want to evaluate available shipping options before choosing a suitable arrangement.
- ✓Business-focused rate review: pricing can be assessed against your shipment profile and available services.
- ✓Clearer cost comparisons: compare eligible rates using the same route, chargeable weight, service type, and fee basis.
- ✓Support for regular dispatches: share approximate shipping volume and destinations.
- ✓Application-led onboarding: submit details for review before account activation.
One Clear Starting Point for Your Shipping Requirements
Tell us what you ship, how frequently you dispatch, and where your parcels usually go. This helps assess the available options for your business.
Rates, delivery estimates, COD availability, and other services depend on courier coverage, shipment eligibility, account approval, and applicable terms.
Understand the Difference
Retail Courier Rates vs Business Shipping Rates
Business pricing is not automatically the same for every shipment. The table explains common differences between retail and business arrangements.
| Feature | Retail Courier Booking | Business Shipping Account |
|---|---|---|
| Intended Users | Individuals and occasional senders | Businesses with recurring shipping requirements |
| Pricing Structure | Standard retail tariffs or displayed rates | Eligible business pricing, depending on service and terms |
| Frequent Dispatches | May involve repeated individual bookings | Designed around recurring business shipping needs |
| Rate Review | May require separate rate checks | Business-oriented rate assessment where available |
| Shipment Records | Depends on the booking provider | Records or reports may be available depending on platform |
| Bulk Booking | Depends on the provider | May be offered where the platform supports it |
| COD Services | Depends on the provider | Subject to courier support, eligibility, and terms |
| Custom Pricing | Not always available | May be considered based on volume and commercial arrangements |
Fair comparison matters. Compare the same pickup and delivery pincodes, chargeable weight, service type, payment mode, tax treatment, and additional fees.
Understand Your Potential Savings
Small Savings per Parcel Can Add Up
For a business shipping regularly, a verified reduction in cost per parcel can make a meaningful difference over a month or year.
- ✓Compare like-for-like shipping prices.
- ✓Include applicable taxes, COD fees, and additional charges.
- ✓Use actual monthly shipment volume to estimate impact.
