Affordable Shipping
Freight is the #1 driving force for most goods, and Ozark understands the importance to keep freight costs at the lowest possible price. Our marketing team works very hard to keep the most competitive negotiated rates with UPS and FedEx, offering next day service at the lowest prices in the industry.
Our crews pack fish six days a week, shipping orders to our customers via air freight, as well as UPS and FedEx. We ship air freight orders from Indianapolis International Airport, primarily using Southwest Airlines, but are known shippers with all major airlines. Air freight orders are available for arrival on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
FedEx and UPS shipments are packed Monday-Thursday weekly. With the most competitive freight rates, Ozark ships most of our orders via FedEx Priority Overnight or UPS Next Day Air for our domestic shipments. To service our customers in Canada, we ship via FedEx International Priority.
Freight costs play a crucial role in the overall pricing strategy for businesses in the aquaculture sector. As the primary driving force behind the distribution of goods, managing these expenses effectively is essential for maintaining competitive pricing and ensuring customer satisfaction. Ozark Fisheries recognizes the significance of freight costs and has implemented strategies to minimize these expenses while providing reliable service.
Ozark Fisheries has established strong partnerships with leading shipping companies such as UPS and FedEx. By leveraging these relationships, the company is able to secure competitive negotiated rates that benefit its customers. This approach not only reduces shipping costs but also ensures timely delivery, which is critical in the aquaculture industry where live products are involved.
Next-day service is a key offering that Ozark Fisheries provides, allowing customers to receive their orders promptly. This is particularly important for live fish shipments, as timely delivery is essential to ensure the health and viability of the aquatic life being transported. The ability to offer next-day service at competitive rates positions Ozark Fisheries as a reliable partner in the aquaculture supply chain.
The marketing team at Ozark Fisheries continuously monitors market trends and shipping rates to ensure that the company remains competitive. By staying informed about changes in the logistics landscape, the team can adapt its strategies accordingly, ensuring that customers benefit from the best possible rates and services.
