Efficient & Smart Chocolate Packaging with PluginHive Shopify App for FedEx

When it comes to chocolates, packaging plays an important part right from choosing the accurate boxes. With an established store like Li-Lac chocolates, the number of orders they get on a day-to-day basis can be huge. And it becomes even more important to ensure accurate packaging for different orders to gain customer satisfaction. With such a significant need to automate the packaging and shipping process Li-Lac chocolates came across PluginHive.

“PluginHive was recommended to us by our web developer. In the FedEx Ship, Rate & Track app, the feature that I felt is really interesting is the ability to put package dimensions associated with the box size and it helps us to understand the right box required for each of our orders. I have currently set a couple of boxes and it is working pretty well.”

Besides the right packaging, chocolates are such products that demand delivery on almost every occasion, even on weekends. So, when we asked how Anthony manages such demands & sees the changes in Saturday delivery rates in comparison to other weekdays, he said: “Yes we have seen the shipping rates on Saturdays are higher but we feel it’s more like an express reliable delivery. Since the FedEx app is also supporting it, this has been one of the advantages”.
