Package and Dispatch - where to begin?

[TimW]

I am starting to sell a product online very soon. I haven't got to grips with either packaging or dispatch/transport. What are the options? where would I find a short discussion of pros and cons and gotchas?

I think we can do the packaging without too much trouble and the parcels will all be the same: cylinders about 80cm long and 27cm dia wighing 3kg. What are the options for couriers or post? what options might I offer? How would returns work? or non-delivery? There must be plenty of problems I should be aware of.

you could join facebook groups regarding this and small business owners would guide you.

How about delegating authority? That is so that some people are engaged in packaging, others are engaged in transportation, etc. I have been in the transport business for a long time and during this time I have not had any particularly serious problems. Many of my competitors have problems with customs invoices while I use https://supercmr.com/ and I don't have any problems. There you can easily generate customs invoices and not spend a lot of time on it.
