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 — UPS charges $13.40 per address correction. Reshipment and support costs use industry averages. Your actual exposure may differ. Art of Tea ships internationally, which typically increases error rates by ~20%.
That's equivalent to 4,790 free orders you could fulfill instead — or 21 hours of logistics team time per month spent resolving address issues. UPS charges $13.40 per address correction. At your volume, that's $13,274/month before reshipments and support. International addresses have 20% higher error rates than domestic.
