Reducing Product and Shipping Costs in E-commerce – A Real Case Study

Case Study: How Wezmi.com Doubled Profit Margins on Portable Blenders

Background
Wezmi.com is a growing e-commerce store specializing in portable blenders, serving health-conscious consumers across North America. As demand increased, the company faced high sourcing costs and slow shipping, which limited profitability and slowed order fulfillment.

Challenge

• Product cost per unit: $45

• Shipping cost per unit: $15, taking 4 weeks

• Total cost per unit: $60

These high costs and long delivery times constrained profit margins and made it difficult to offer competitive pricing in the fast-moving portable blender market.

Solution
Wezmi.com partnered with SourceRockets to optimize bulk ordering and shipping:

• Product cost: Reduced from $45 → $20 per unit

• Shipping cost: Reduced from $15 → $8 per unit

• Shipping time: Reduced from 4 weeks → 1 week

Impact

• Total cost per unit: $60 → $28

• Profit improvement: Selling at the same price, profit doubled

• Faster shipping increased customer satisfaction and allowed Wezmi.com to handle larger order volumes efficiently
