Order volume estimated from publicly available e-commerce revenue data. 5% address error rate is the industry benchmark (1 in 20 orders). Carrier correction fees are published rates — DHL charges $16.00 per address correction. Reshipment and support costs use industry averages. Your actual exposure may differ.
That's equivalent to 4,567 free orders you could fulfill instead — or 22 hours of logistics team time per month spent resolving address issues.
DHL charges $16.00 per address correction. At your volume, that's $17,088/month before reshipments and support.
