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. Branded Bills ships internationally, which typically increases error rates by ~20%.
That's equivalent to 46,590 free orders you could fulfill instead — or 173 hours of logistics team time per month spent resolving address issues.
UPS charges $13.40 per address correction. At your volume, that's $111,442/month before reshipments and support.
