Hi Friends!
I have got an idea! Let's say for example, eBay ties up with a courier co.
Now, when we get an order from a buyer, normally we pack the item and write the address by pen. But, this time eBay will send a pdf file by email which we need to download, print and stick it on the product box.
This page will have everything what a courier co. requires. It will have the necessary information about the buyer and sender address, product category, weight, dimension, etc.
One more thing it will have is a code number and a bar coding for the use of the courier co.
When we take this box to courier outlet, they will just scan the bar coding with a code reading device. This type of devices are very popular in shopping malls.
After the scanning is done they will accept the box and give us a receipt, free of cost. Because eBay will pay them an yearly fee to get this unlimited service.
Thus, sellers will no more have problems with the high courier charges.
But one more thing is that we need to find a courier co. which has the largest no. or outlets in order to maximize the benefit to everyone.
What do you guys say about this?
Suman.
