If you’re looking for potential savings across your company in light of the upcoming postal rate increase, here are some areas where you always can cut costs: Outbound freight: Don’t be afraid to request a discount from your current carrier. You should at least be able to get a lower cap on the current fuel surcharges. Track your carrier’s performance and request a refund for all late deliveries. Credit card processing: Call your current credit card processor and request a discount. It will most likely match anything you find in the marketplace. Circulation: Identify your Web-only customers and don’t mail them a catalog.
