Rate Negotiation Pricing

Modified on: Mon, 25 Aug, 2025 at 6:38 AM

Overview

Our Carrier Rate Optimization Analysis helps you identify whether you’re getting the most competitive discount rates from your carriers.

We benchmark your existing carrier rates against what similar businesses — with comparable shipment volumes, package weights, and shipping services — are receiving.

The report gives you a comprehensive breakdown of areas such as base rates, accessorial charges, and other cost components where you could secure better terms with your carriers.

Pricing is simple: We charge a percentage, A%, of the savings from the current contract. You can contact sales to get custom pricing quotes based on your current shipping volume.

Example:

If your average shipping volume of 20,000 parcels annually was benchmarked against peer rates and these are the savings projected:

Category	Avg. Shipping Volume	Current Cost	Current Rate	New Cost	New Rate	Annual Savings
Ground Base Rates	10,000 shipments	$60,000	10% discount	$54,000	18%	$6,000
Residential Surcharges	5,000 shipments	$24,250	$4.85/package (0% discount)	$19,750	$3.95/package (≈18% discount)	$4,500

Total Annual Savings: $10,500
Your Fee (2% of savings): $210

If no savings are identified, you pay nothing.
