Small Parcel Freight Shipping Contract Negotiation & Analysis
The most effective way to reduce freight shipping costs is to modify your current small parcel freight contracts. It is common knowledge that the small parcel carriers sell freight shipping contracts that maximize carrier profit. UPS contracts and FedEx contracts include numerous variables that determine the final small parcel freight shipping costs of a package. A small change in an accessorial charge, carrier tariff schedule, service incentive, deferred incentive, minimum net charge, or carrier surcharge can substantially reduce shipping costs. The carrier contract pricing experts at Source Consulting use highly developed analytic software and industry knowledge to analyze and compare current FedEx contracts and UPS contracts. Source Consulting's freight contract negotiation team will help your company modify current freight contracts, resulting in reduced freight costs.
Source Consulting employs the carrier pricing expertise of former UPS, FedEx and DHL employees with innovative small parcel freight shipping rate analytic technology to maximize freight cost savings. Due to our extensive knowledge and understanding of the industry's complex pricing environment (both domestic shipping rates and international shipping rates), we are able to effectively analyze and benchmark carrier proposals, resulting in reduced shipping costs for our clients.
