New rates for Logistics via bol from June 1st
Every year, we evaluate and index the rates for Logistics via bol. This year, too, means we are implementing a price change from June 1st, 2022.
From June 1st, rates for XXXS and XXS categories will be lowered, making it more attractive for you as a partner to offer smaller items. Due to rising labor and transport costs, rates for XS, S, M & L will increase from June 1st. Rates for labeling your items, delivery service, returns to partner, and surcharges for special product categories will remain unchanged.
New rates from June 1st
* XXXS and XXS items cannot be sent as letterbox parcels to Belgium. These are always sent as XS format and at the applicable rate.
**Leading up to the holidays, we apply an increased rate (peak rate) of +40% for item storage.
How to benefit from the reductions for XXXS and XXS
If you already sell in the XXXS and XXS categories where rates are being lowered, you will immediately have a larger margin on the selling price from June 1st. This is an opportunity to set competitive prices, making your offer more attractive to (potential) customers and enabling you to grow faster. You can also benefit by adding more XXXS or XXS items to your product range.
Stock advice
With the change in stock costs, good stock health becomes even more important. Use the stock advice dashboard to see the status of your current stock health. The advice is to maintain a maximum stock for 28 days of sales per item. If you manage this well and sell more, your limit will grow accordingly.
If you have more than 28 days of stock, we recommend reducing it. You can do this by making your offer more attractive (e.g., content or price), by using Sponsored Products, or by having your stock returned. We advise you to focus primarily on your bestsellers or items that sell at least 10 times a month.
