Zero Month

What is a Zero Month?

A Zero Month is a period in which a client, despite having an active account with U-PIC Shipping Insurance, does not ship any packages or does not need insurance for any shipped packages. It's essentially a month with zero recorded shipments. This scenario might arise due to various reasons, such as seasonal fluctuations in business, inventory adjustments, or temporary halts in operations.

Why Does a Zero Month Matter?

Understanding Zero Months is vital for both clients and U-PIC Shipping Insurance. During a Zero Month, clients should inform us about the absence of shipments. This proactive communication ensures the timely application of the agreed-upon monthly minimum charge, keeping the client's account active for future shipments.

Benefits of Acknowledging Zero Months:
  • Seamless Billing: Communicating a Zero Month ensures that the billing process continues smoothly without unnecessary delays.
  • Accurate Records: It helps maintain precise records, ensuring that the client's billing information is up-to-date and accurate.
