Lara Guevara walks through four hidden cost leaks in supply chains: tariffs, dimensional weight shipping, 3PL fees, and freight costs. One founder recovered $24K from a 3PL conversation and discovered $34K in hidden freight losses. A four-week audit can fix each leak with math and one targeted conversation.

April is done. The hidden margin killers in 60 seconds. Week 1: Tariffs change your landed cost whether you recalculate it or not. Most brands have not. Week 2: DIM weight. You're paying for box size, not just product weight. The gap is real money. Week 3: 3PL fees, 7 categories, benchmarks, and 5 questions. One $24,000 recovered from one conversation. Week 4 freight, Red Sea rerouting, stale rates, and the $34K that was hiding in plain sight. Here's the truth nobody says out loud. Your margin is not being destroyed by the market. It is leaking through 4 places most founders have never audited. Tariffs, packaging, fulfillment, and freight. Every single one is fixable. Not with a new supplier, not with a rebrand, with a math and one conversation at a time. This is Supply Chain.
