ATLANTA – In an effort to support growth in retail, gift and home décor brand Mud Pie has announced a new wholesale freight matrix for retailers aimed at lowering shipping costs, the company said Tuesday.
Effective Sept. 1, applicable wholesale accounts will automatically receive the new lower standard freight rates. According to the release, the new structure is “expected to deliver estimated average savings of approximately 40 percent compared with current freight charges, giving retailers greater flexibility to expand assortments, reorder best sellers and reinvest in their businesses,” although actual savings will vary by shipment and destination.
“Mud Pie is passionate about supporting the growth of our retail partners, and we believe that commitment should show up in practical ways that make a real difference in their businesses,” said Mark Smith, chief executive officer of Mud Pie.
“Freight costs have been unusually volatile in recent years, making it difficult for retailers to plan with confidence, and this new program is designed to provide greater consistency and value. When we can use our scale to leverage better rates, we will always work to pass those savings directly to our partners, giving them more room to broaden assortments, reorder proven sellers and invest in the experiences that help their stores and communities thrive.”
