Total container shipping costs are not only related to the cost of transporting goods from your facility to other delivery points but also include hidden costs, such as damage costs. visible and invisible damage, and labor costs.
Examples of visible and hidden damage include when a truck arrives at a loading dock, pallets are moved, and dented boxes show obvious signs of damage, which can be detected as soon as possible. open the container door. However, there are still sealed boxes on the pallet or the products in the box are damaged in transit that the customer does not see until they bring the product home.

In addition, damaged items must also be inspected and stored, which takes longer, requires more space, and is more labor-intensive for a non-revenue-generating task and wasted quite a lot of man-hours and labor just because of a broken product.
