• Process Improvement: Maintain accurate shipping logs, audit freight invoices for accuracy, and assist in identifying ways to reduce shipping costs.

Experience:

• Experience using computer programs including UPS WorldShip, Fed Ex, Microsoft Office, Excel and other related programs to schedule shipments, ticket orders, picking, packing, and ensuring proper postage and shipping requirements are followed.
