See the Top BPM Dumb Taxes™
1. The The BPM Dumb Tax™
“You’re still using legacy postage — while your competitors moved on years ago.”
If you're shipping books, manuals, or educational materials the old-school way, you're likely overpaying by $1–$3 per shipment.
This report reveals the hidden surcharge baked into outdated BPM shipping lanes..
2. The Tracking Blackout Dumb Tax™
"One shipping fix helped a brand save thousands in sales — without spending more on ads."
BPM tracking is notoriously vague. But brands that automate visibility across all carriers — and every shipment class — recover lost hours, cut refunds, and unlock better support.
This guide shows you how.
3. Beyond the Rate Sheet Dumb Tax™
“If you’ve never seen a BPM rate sheet — you’re probably paying the wrong rate.”
Most BPM shippers default to the USPS grid — not realizing they’re in the wrong tier, paying up to 3x more than they should.
This guide breaks down the real pricing model behind Bound Printed Matter — and shows how to escape the markup trap hidden in plain sight.
4. The Return Void Dumb Tax™
“The return label you skipped is now costing you 10x in lost product.”
Most BPM returns never come back — they vanish without tracking, refund, or recovery.
This guide shows how to reclaim lost inventory and protect your margins with a smarter return strategy for books, binders, and flat packs.
5. Wrapped to Fail Dumb Tax™
“That flimsy wrap is costing you customers.”
Bent corners and damaged books don’t just frustrate customers — they quietly kill trust and bleed margins.
This guide reveals packaging strategies that reduce BPM damage rates by up to 40% — without triggering dimensional weight.
6. Inbound Freight Dumb Tax™
“Your supplier says ‘free shipping’ — but it’s baked into your invoice.”
Even if you don’t book the shipping, you’re still paying for it — often hidden in product pricing.
This guide helps BPM shippers spot buried inbound freight costs and renegotiate smarter terms with printers and vendors.
Best for: Publishers and curriculum brands receiving bulk deliveries from third-party printers.
7. Outbound Freight Dumb Tax™
“Your buyers pay for the books — but you’re covering the freight.”
If you're shipping books on pallets to schools or resellers, you may be overpaying for freight.
This guide shows BPM shippers how to access CSP — a hidden rate tier that cuts LTL costs without changing your systems.
Best for: Bulk BPM shippers using LTL for wholesale, school, or multi-location delivery.
8. The Customs Maze Dumb Tax™
“One missing HS code. Three weeks of delay.”
BPM-qualifying goods shipped across borders need proper HS coding and electronic customs data — or they stall. This guide reveals how to navigate the maze without costly hold-ups.

If you’ve spotted even one Dumb Tax™ above, it’s likely costing you thousands.
