Welcome to the eCommerce Podcast

Leo Rodriguez, VP of River Plate, has spent years watching ecommerce brands quietly overpay on shipping, sometimes billed for 18 pounds on a parcel that weighs two. In this episode he breaks down dimensional weight, cartonization and carrier rate-shopping, the moves that save $2 to $3 on every order and protect margin at scale. He also explains why smaller brands got hammered hardest by the new tariffs, the international shipping gray zones that get products stuck in customs, and why fuel surcharges and packaging costs look like the new normal. Essential listening for anyone shipping physical product.
