Ways to Ship Green
We Recommend Commercial Shipping Addresses
Entering a commercial shipping address instead of a residential address
is better for the environment because it is a more fuel-efficient way
to get the package to you. Commercial addresses often allow the truck
drivers to save miles on delivery distances and allow more deliveries
per gallon of fuel.
Minimize Use of Air Shipping
We all love the convenience of air shipping (and traveling), but the environmental
costs are significant. Airplanes emit more greenhouse gases per mile than
ground transportation (trucks, trains, bikes). From a carbon emissions
perspective standard ground shipping to a commercial address is optimal.
Order with a friend
The biggest, heaviest item that gets delivered is the truck that drives
to your door, not the package they leave for you. It only makes sense
to gets as many items as possible in each delivery to save the fuel cost
per item. Split an order with a friend or family member to reduce the
impact of the delivery.
