Negotiate Better Deals with Parcel Carriers

Leverage Your Volume

Furthermore, shippers should leverage their volume, Sailor noted. High-volume shippers who use more than one carrier are in a good position to do this if they switch to a single carrier for all their needs. This way, the shipper can get as much as a 15 percent discount. “Discounts should be negotiated to include all services, not just the ones a shipper might use most of the time,” he said.
